Well, she's kind of an odd duck. Her leather is yummy like bags of the Madison line from 2011-2012. Her hardware is that very yellow brass that was used at one time as opposed to what is used now. But while she's got the new creed with no style number, the style number she does have ( on the tiny slip of paper sewn into the inner zippered pocket ) is that of the original Madison Carries, only with an F in front. When
Coach moved the Madison line to be MFF, I know they changed style numbers on the Phoebes, so I figured an MFF Carrie would have a new style number ( I could be wrong though). Coach had also already re-styled the Carrie to look different than the one I have. I would have expected her to look more like the newer Carries had she been MFF from the get-go. Mine looks totally like a first gen Carrie except for her creed and hang tag. When I saw her in the outlet, I gasped LOUDLY ( haha ) because she looked exactly like the old school FP Carries. She seems to have elements of both FP and MFF. That's why I call her a hybrid..lol. (Sorry if my explanation made it more confusing. I'm hopped up on strong coffee! ) It was instant love for me though...which is why she came home with me.
