After all, why on earth would Coach send them to people FOR FREE if they are lost?!?!?! If you lose one you can call Customer Service and tell them what style and color and they will send you a new hang tag, no questions asked, with no cost. Even an old vintage bag - they have "stock" or something of older hang tags and can even replace those.
