All the bags on this list are for sale in the Essex Fashion House shop. Tap the pictures or links below to find each individual bag.
The Coach Drifter is an amazing example of a Coach New York line bag that has the quality of an 1941 line bag - the mixed leathers and suede are luxurious and heavy and the bag has beautiful structure to it. This edition is the lovely color Fatigue with details of the western rivets including rivet details on the hangtag. Find this bag here.
The Coach Dinky is a true classic, based on the original vintage Dinky model, this 1941 version is the modern day Dinky. Here in a beautiful edition featuring the classic Coach link design. The colors of the link imitate those of fall leaves changing colors making it the perfect fall bag in an elegant and subtle way. Find this bag here.
Another Coach Dinky had to be included on this list - this beautiful patchwork Dinky features a pop of orange giving you those Halloween vibes and the mixed leathers and suede gives that warm feeling of a fall bag. Find this bag here.
Three Dinkies might seem excessive, but this is the last one on the list I promise! This might be my favorite fall bag of all time. This beautiful Fern Green Dinky in cervo suede with fringe and chunky black stitching details can be hard to come by. The quality of the materials and the attention to detail on this bag is just as good as it gets. Did you notice the baeutiful concho turnlock? Find this bag here.
Continuing the fringe fest with this beautiful Coach Saddle bag in Oxblood smooth leather with pyramid rivets. This is another bag that is just filled with beautiful details - my favorite is the ram's head charm at the front which is detachable. There is just something about Oxblood and fringes that are perfect for fall! Find this bag here.
I had to include a couple of simple black bags on this list as there is no season they don't go with. The Parker Tophandle is another favorite of my from the Coach New York line which gets close to the quality of the 1941 line. In fact, some of the things that sets this bag apart from the 1941 line actually makes it better. The lining is microfiber which resembles suede keeping the bag very lightweight for its size as opposed to if it had been lined in suede and crafted in thicker leathers. This is a beautifully structured bag with contrasting snakeskin details making it stand out from the standard black bag while staying elegant and simple. Find this bag here.
Because I love the Coach Parker Tophandle so much, I had to include it in Oxblood as well - Oxblood is just the perfect fall color! On this edition, the snakeskin is the same color as the bag making it even more subtle. Find this bag here.
The Rogue is a true 1941 line classic and this beautiful Heather grey edition has Oxblood suede on the sides as well as inside the outer pockets. I love the combination of materials and colors on this one for fall. Find this bag here.
Another Rogue that I think is perfect for fall is the Rogue 31 in black with western embroidery. Some might say that floral bags aren't for fall, but I disagree. I think the suede stripe along with the gold thread in the flowers make this a perfect bag for fall. Find this bag here.
I had to include the chalk version of this beautiful bag as well. I like including lighter colors in the fall and this one with the same floral embroidery details as the black one also has a lovely pop of color in the orange suede detail giving it a little hint of Halloween. Find this bag here.
Next on the list is this beautiful Oxblood Rogue 31 with border rivets - anything Oxblood goes for fall and the border rivets Rogues are just such beautiful bags with great attention to detail. Did you notice that the rivets from the handles are actually little Tea Roses? and of course you also get the Tea Rose detail on the hangtag. Find this bag here.
Last Rogue on this list is the Rogue satchel. This one is probably the most surprising bag on the list as it is a light color with flowers on it but there is something about the shape of this model along with the contrasting Oxblood handles that makes it perfect for fall in my opinion. Even though flowers are often associated with spring, these have lovely fall colors in them and I think this is a perfect bag for those who want something different from the normal fall bags. Find this bag here.
This Beat bag has to be the ultimate fall bag! It has the beautiful brown fall colors, the scrumptious suede and thick leathers and of course the cosy soft shearling on the flap. On top of that, this Beat bag is such a well-made bag from the New York line which could easily be confused for a bag from the 1941 line due to the quality of the materials. One of my favorite things about the Beat bag is that the strap, handle and chain are all detachable which means you can really customize the look to make the bag exactly what you want. Find this bag here.
This beautiful Kat Camera bag is the perfect little pumpkin bag! The beautiful orange color with the black and brown contrasting leather details is such a lovely combination and this bag is a great size for all the essentials. I can just imagine wearing this in a pumpkin patch! Find this bag here.
Next bag on the list is the Troupe Tote from the 1941 line in the color Deep Red - this beautiful warm red is a great way to add some color to your fall outfit while still keeping the fall color scheme. The Troupe features a magnetic turnlock and is a spacious tote which is quite light-weight for its size. Find this bag here.
And of course I had to include the Troupe 16 as well - the same beautiful Deep Red color but in an adorable little crossbody size. Find this bag here.
Because I love the Troupes so much, I have also included this Troupe Carryall in black. A good black bag goes with everything and in my opinion, can be be carried for every season. Find this bag here.
Next up is the Coach Dalton. This lovely and soft shoulder bag is crafted in beautiful smooth black leather with Oxblood suede and subtle snakeskin details. It has all the lovely materials that make for a perfect fall bag in subtle colors with a little something extra. The Dalton has multiple compartments for organizing your things and carries super comfortably on the shoulder. Find this bag here.
There is something about hobo bags that just seems right for fall - maybe it is the softness and coziness of a good slouchy bag. In this case, you have the beautiful Coach Bandit 39 in the color Goldenrod on one side, Oxblood on the other side and with a beautiful blue trim. Find this bag here.
Last but not least - this amazing Coach Tote 34 is great year-round but I think it is especially perfect for fall with that amazing combination of black and oxblood leather and the added details of whiplash stitching and rivets. It is a great sized practical tote that also looks absolutely beautiful in a subtle and classy way. Find this bag here.

Here is one of those super special bags that only seem to turn up once in a blue moon. The playful rivets on this Dinky gives it a both cute and edgy look and the fringe really makes this bag fun! The leather is soft as butter, the lining is beautiful suede and the detailing on this bag is just incredible.

Ok, by now some of you might be tired of hearing me talking about sample bags, so I’ll just leave you a link to my blog post about them here for those of you who don’t know what they are or why they are so special and then move on to talk about this amazing Coach Shuffle bag! If you know the Shuffle, you will probably notice straight away that this one looks a bit different. The Shuffle already stands out with its patchwork design often featuring many different colors and patterns at once, but this one has the addition of zipped pockets on each end. This cute little bag also happens to have the softest leather I have ever felt on a Coach bag. This bag was made in super small quantities and was not for sale in the store so you would be super lucky to ever come across one like this.

I was lucky enough to get another Coach sample bag in my haul and this time it is a Rogue 39 – one of the largest Rogue models. This one is beautiful grey pebble leather and features the inner pockets in the suede lining like you see on the latest Rogue models.

The classic Rogue 31 of course had to make an appearance as well so I got two grey ones for you this time around.

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be more Rogues, here are two super lovely Rogue Totes. One is smooth black leather but the whipstitch handle brings it some real edge and the other features the beautiful Coach links in gorgeous burgundy on black. Both of these come with the small inner pouch, are in great condition and are just the most spacious bags. In my opinion these are great if you want a big bag, love the Rogue but want something lighter that will hold a lot.

Another bag that you don’t find just anywhere is the Coach Rogue Satchel with Patchwork Snakeskin handles. This bag is INCREDIBLE! You all know how much I love a Rogue, but I’m telling you, this one is to die for. The black leather is so rich and thick, the lining is all gorgeous suede and the red, white and black snakeskin on the handles just gives it the perfect pop of color and makes it really stand out in an edgy yet classy way.

]]>I’m going to answer all of these questions for you! Keep reading to find out what makes these special and what the upsides and downsides to buying and owning them are.
Coach sample bags can be one of 3 things.
1: Some are samples made of a model before it went into production for the stores. This means that it is an early example of a bag that you could also find in the retail store at some point, which doesn’t make it particularly special unless you value having one of the first ones made.
2: Others are samples of models that ended up never being put into production for the stores, meaning there are a very limited number of that model in existence, giving you the opportunity to have something very special if you are lucky enough to find one.
3: Finally, a sample bag can be a sample of a model that did go into production for the store but where there were slight changes or additions made to the design in the time between the production of the samples and the production of the actual retail bags for the stores. This means that you can have a bag that is a familiar model but stands out by having extra features, different colors or other special details and that were produced in very limited numbers.
So, owning a sample bag can mean that you have something very special and a bit more unique from what everyone else gets to have. Now, you might wonder why they make these sample bags, and there could be several reasons for this. They could be made for testing out new designs and features but more importantly, they are created for press campaigns for new collections and for product photoshoots. This explains why sometimes, on the Coach website, you might see for example a Rogue 25 where the hangtags are attached to the front of the bag, but when you receive the bag, they are actually attached to the handle as usual. This means that the final product was slightly changed after the pictures are taken but before the model was put into production for the store.
Now that we’re all clear on what sample bags are, let me address an important question: How do they end up in the hands of us mere mortals who just love having something special from our favorite brand? This is how: These bags are made available to purchase in a Coach sample sale, however, these are only open for Coach employees. Bought at good prices, Coach employees often sell them on (though they are probably not supposed to, but shhh we won’t tell), and this is how they end up in the reselling market. Therefore, in order to get one of these, you can do one of two things. Get a job at Coach and work your way up to earn the privilege of shopping the sample sales OR prowl the deep depths of reselling sites to find the hidden treasures listed for sale. Though they can be hard to come by, they do show up here and there. A great place to start is right here in the Essex Fashion House shop where you’ll find several special sample bags that have already been authenticated and can be shipped worldwide. Shop the whole collection here or keep reading if you want to know how to spot a Coach sample bag.
Before venturing out looking for sample bags, take a look at these points so you know exactly what to look for. These are some of the most common features of Coach sample bags. Please note that not all of these features are present on all Coach sample bags and that there can be other signs of sample bags not mentioned here.
The first and best sign of a Coach sample bag is a creed patch with the numbers 00000 instead of a style number. Sometimes, the production code numbers are replaced by zeros as well. Check out these examples:
Find this bag here.
The reason for the absence of a style number and presence of these zeros is simply that a style number had not yet been assigned to the model at the time of production of this specific sample. Sometimes, you will also find sample bags from between 2014 and 2016 where no numbers at all are present as the type of creed patch in those years did not feature a style number so there would be no number to replace with zeros. In bags with this style creed, you would usually find the style number and production codes on a small white tag inside an inner pocket, but sample bags produced at this time for photoshoot and promotion purposes would not have this small tag and no numbers present at all. This unfortunately leads to many of these bags being mistaken for counterfeits even though they are completely genuine. Remember that you can never authenticate a Coach bag simply by the presence or absence of a style or serial number alone. Check out my Ultimate Guide to Coach Serial Numbers here for more information on this topic.
From time to time, you might even come across a bag with a creed patch that is simply blank where there otherwise would have been a style number. This can be another very good sign of a sample bag. Why some have zeros and some have a blank space is hard to say though. Here is an example:
Find this bag here.
On models such as the Rogue, you often see a different way of attaching hangtags on Coach sample bags. They can feature a little metal loop at the front of the bag for hangtag and/or clochette whereas on normal models, the hangtags are usually attached to the handle of the bag.
Find this bag here.
Another thing that can signify a Coach sample bag is the presence of a large white tag inside the bag with a large barcode on it. This is different from the small white style number tag you sometimes see in bags from 2014-16. This tag is much larger and features no production codes or style numbers.
Find this bag here.
Another possible sign of a Coach sample bag that you don’t see very often but does occur, is the presence of a Coach sample sale card. These are often not present which I imagine is due to Coach employees reselling these bags taking them out before selling the bag as to not draw attention to the fact that they are selling a bag that they probably shouldn’t be selling in the first place.
As you can see, this card contains certain information about the bag such as price category and color code. Interestingly enough, this card actually also has a style number listed on it but this is not a style number that any of the current Mason Carryalls ended up having. The reason for this is unknown to me, but I can only assume that perhaps this specific edition, which differs from any final Mason model on the market, would have been given this style number had it been put into final production which it was not.
Now here is the most exciting part in my opinion. As I mentioned before, a sign that you might have a special sample bag can be that a bag has features that are different to other bags that are the same model. For example, it could be that you have a bag in a color that is not one of the colors offered for that model in the stores. It can also be things like additional details that are usually not present on that model or different materials.
Like this one:

And this one:

Aaand this one:
Find this bag here.
Finally, sometimes, you can come across a Coach sample bag of a model that ended up never being put into production, which means you can have a really special bag that looks nothing like anything in store. These can also be quite hard to find any information about and I have therefore named my example of this the Coach Mystery Bag. This one has plenty of familiar Coach features and some unfamiliar ones but overall has a unique look and no expense spared when it comes to the amount of snakeskin.
Find this bag here.
As far as I know, there is no Coach model on the market that looks like this one (Please feel free to let me know if you have any information about this bag) and this is the wonder of the Coach sample bags. Sometimes you end up with something super special that you will probably only see once in a lifetime.
In conclusion, Coach sample bare are in fact real genuine Coach bags and in my opinion, they are an amazing opportunity to get little bit of insight into the considerations Coach made when they designed some of their retail models and to have something rare and unique that stands out from the crowd which to me makes them even more valuable than normal Coach bags. They can sometimes be harder to authenticate but in the end, they are all worth the hassle in my opinion. I hope this blog has opened your eyes to the wonderful world of Coach sample bags or given you the information you needed to find your own.

Serial numbers in luxury designer bags can often be an important factor when authenticating an expensive item you bought online, found at the thrift store or bought from anywhere other than the official brand store. Some brands give every single one of their bags a serial number, which is an individual number that is unique to the specific bag, and this is what Coach did, until 1994. Then, everything changed. Coach bags don’t have an actual “serial number” anymore, but what they do have is a “style number” combined with a few extra numbers that are actually way more useful than an actual serial number. These numbers are what we will be focusing on today.
The first place to look for a Coach style number, is on the Coach creed patch, sometimes also called the Coach story patch. This is the little leather patch inside the bag which also features a small text about the Coach brand (the creed), the materials of the bag or sometimes even something special about the style of bag in which it is found. On earlier bags, the creed was stamped straight onto the leather.
Here is what the creed stamped straight onto the leather can look like:
And here is what the number looks like, stamped onto a creed patch:
However, here is the first exception to the rule! Sometimes, you will have a Coach bag with a creed patch that does not have a number on it at all. But fear not! Your bag (probably) does actually still have a number, you just have to do a little bit more work to get to it. In 2014, Coach momentarily started putting the style number of the bag on a small white tag sewn into the bag, rather than on the creed patch. Look carefully! They can be hard to find as they are small and often way down in one corner of an inner pocket. They did this until 2016. So, bags from 2016 can have one or the other type of creed patch.
Here is what a genuine creed patch without the number can look like:
And here is what the small white tag looks like:
But what if you open your Coach bag to find no number on the creed patch and no small white tag inside? There are 4 possible explanations:
No number in a Coach bag is a rare occurrence, and could be a sign that the bag is not genuine, but it does not have to mean this.
There are a few items in which Coach does not put numbers, usually very small ones. So, if you have a small wallet, card case or very small purse with no number in it, do not worry. Just because it doesn't have a style number in it, it doesn't mean that it does not have a style number at all. If you know the style name of the item, you can often find out whether it is supposed to have a number inside or not, by doing a quick google search. If your item still has its original price tag on it, you can sometimes find the style number of the item on that.
Here are a few examples of small genuine Coach items that do not have a creed patch inside:
Another reason for no number could be that the item you have received was one made for promotional photo shoots and display pieces used by Coach for press purposes. These are often produced before the actual production starts of that specific model and therefore do not have a style number added. These bags do sometimes end up in the reselling market, via previous Coach employees.
Please note that a newer style creed patch with a blank space where you would usually find a style number can be an example of a limited edition runway bag or Coach sample bag. Learn more about them here and see the picture below for an example of a creed patch like this:
Here is a little summary of where to (usually) find the serial / style number in your Coach bag, for reference:
As opposed to a serial number, the Coach style number actually gives you a lot of information about the bag in which you found it. It contains information about the month, year and place the bag was manufactured and then of course, the style of the bag.
Coach first changed to the new system in 1994, and there have been a few different formats of the number since then.
In bags from 1994 to 2006, the format was usually a letter, followed by a number (1 or 2 digits depending on the year) and a letter, then a dash followed by a four-digit number.
Here are some examples:
K8P – 9870
E05Q - 9950
The format then changed to a letter followed by four numbers, a dash and five more numbers.
Here is an example: B1980 – 38124
Around early 2020, Coach introduced multiple new style number formats once again. The first part still consists of a letter followed by four numbers, but the new style numbers after the dash could now be either four numbers, a C and four numbers or three numbers. Please note that you may still see bags produced in 2020 and onward with the old format style number as some models from before the format change are still in production. In 2022, yet another format of style number appeared in bags such as some of the Rogue Tophandles consisting of two letters followed by three numbers.
Here are some examples of the new formats:
H2081 - C0769
L2023 - 6019
H2039 - 601
D2281 - CA123
Coach have given multiple explanations as to what the letter C means. I contacted their customer service team to ask them and I was given multiple different explanations. First, I was told that the C only appears in style numbers from the Coach originals collection, however, this is not true. Then I was told that it only appears in bags featuring the Coach signature pattern, which is also not true. There are multiple bags with the C style number that are not part of the Coach Originals line and that do not feature the signature Coach pattern. So, the true meaning of the letter C in the new style numbers remains a mystery. It could be that it is just a tool in order to be able to reuse old four or three digit style numbers without confusion. When I find out for sure, I will make sure to add the info here.
Here is a picture of the different formats, for reference:
And some examples of what they look like on the creed patch:
So, lets break down these numbers and letters.
The first letter signifies the MONTH in which the bag was manufactured, the following number represents the YEAR of manufacture and the following letter or number represents the PLACE of manufacture. Everything after the dash is the STYLE NUMBER of the bag.
Check out this picture to get a better idea:
The first letter denotes the month in which the bag was manufactured. So, an A would mean that the bag was manufactured in January, B in February, C in March and so on. One thing to note about this is that they do not use the letter “I” as they didn’t want to have it confused with the number 1. That means that September, October, November and December are given the letters “J”, “K”, “L” and “M” rather than “I”, “J”, “K” and “L”.
The following two digits denote the year in which the specific bag was manufactured. This is pretty straight forward, but can get a little confusing when dealing with bags manufactured in the 90s or early 2000s. The number 4 was given to bags manufactured in 1994, the number 5 for bags manufactured in 1995 and so on, until the year 2000, which was given the number 0. 2001 was given the number 1, 2002 the number 2 and so on, but then in 2004, they changed to the format to “04”. It would have been a lot easier to make that change starting in 2000, am I right? I made a little list you can use for reference to not get these early numbers mixed up.
Check out these lists for clarification of month and year codes:
These numbers in front of the dash are specific to the individual bag, not the style in general, so this part is actually more similar to something like an actual serial number. Of course, the same letter and numbers will be added to all the other individual bags manufactured in that location and at that time, so still not quite a real serial number.
With this information we can then deduce that in the example K8P – 9870, the bag was manufactured in October 1998, and in the example B1980 – 38124, the bag was manufactured in February 2019.
The last letter or digits before the dash denote the place of manufacture. I don’t have any confirmed information about the exact locations or plants that were assigned specific letters or numbers, but if you have a look around the internet, there is some information about it, however it may be a bit contradictory at times. However, the specific meaning of these specific letters or numbers rarely play a crucial role in the authentication process, but can of course be helpful at times.
Now, to the last and probably most important part: The style number. Each style of Coach bag has its own number. This means that all the bags of that style will carry this number, even if they have different colors. An example of this is the style number of the classic Rogue 31. You will see the style number 38124 in Rogue 31s in many different colors. However, if you have a certain model of bag that comes in different versions such as a plain one and one with rivets, they will usually have different style numbers.
While the examples above are the most common formats, there are a few exceptions. You have probably all seen a style number with the letter F in front of it. Like this: M1592 – F36704. This is what the style numbers made for the Coach outlet stores look like. F is for Factory. These bags are often referred to as Factory Outlet bags and these bags are genuine Coach bags, they just happen to have been made especially for the outlet store rather than the retail store. Now, the difference between Coach retail and Coach outlet bags, and whether the quality of the retail bag is higher than the outlet bag, is a whole other discussion so we will leave that for another time.
On very rare occasions you might see other variations as well, such as the addition of a “P” which denotes a “Pilot” bag. This means that the bag was part of a “first run” of a certain model of bag sold in the stores. This could have been done to see how well the model would sell before starting production of it. So if you get a Pilot bag, it might be a rare bag depending on whether the model was put into production or not after the trial run, and at the very least, you know you have one of the first ones made.
This brings me to another thing you might run into. The Coach sample bags. Once in a while you might come across a Coach bag which has “00000” stamped instead of a style number. Sometimes, the characters before the dash will be replaced by zeros as well. These bags are usually Coach sample bags and can be very special bags. If you want to learn more about them including what makes them special and how to find one, check out my blog post about this topic here. In recent years, Coach has also used the all zeros creed patch on certain limited edition models such as the Rogues crafted in their "Original Responsible Leather" and in their one off baseball glove Cashin. These were available to buy through the Coach store, but were produced in limited numbers.
Here is an example of a genuine Coach creed patch with a "00000" style number:
The last example I will bring up is not actually a style or serial number but something that is often confused with a style number. In early versions of the Rogue, Dinky and Saddle bag from the 1941 collection (and a few other models), you might find a number on the creed patch that looks like a serial or style number but is not. They look like this:
As you might know, “RG” means “Rogue, “DK” means “Dinky” and “SD” means “Saddle”. These numbers are not exactly style numbers and are not very useful when authenticating, so if you see these on a creed patch, have a look in a small pocket inside the bag for a small white tag, like the one I talked about earlier. This is where you will find the actual style number and manufacturing dates of the bag like on other Coach bags.
Here is an example:
Here is an overview of the most important exceptions to remember:
I hate to break it to you, but you can’t. At least not with the number alone, but it is one of many important factors to take into consideration when checking the authenticity of a Coach bag, and as I explained earlier, this number can give you a lot of useful information and is actually in many ways way more useful than an actual serial number.
The two most important parts of the number is the style number and the year of manufacture. These can help you authenticate the bag in a few ways. First and foremost, check that the style number inside the bag is an actual existing style number and that it matches the style of the bag. For this, Google is your friend. Write “Coach” followed by the style number and do an image search. If the style number is accurate, you should see a bunch of image results of your exact style of bag. Remember, they might be different colors, but as long as the model is the same, this is a good first step towards authentication. For example, if we google the style numbers from the examples above, we should find that the number 9870 belongs to the Coach Court bag and the number 38124 belongs to the classic Rogue 31. So, if the bags that these numbers came from are not these models, it's a bad sign.
If you bought a bag that still has its original price tag on it, you can also compare the style number on the tag with the style number inside the bag. Of course, if these two are not the same, there is a problem. Don’t forget that what you see on the creed might not be the actual style number and that not every price tag has the style number on it.
The year of manufacture can also be helpful. If the year of manufacture shown in the bag does not add up with when the specific style of bag was made, something isn't right. This could be if the year of manufacture is marked as 2016, but this specific style of bag wasn’t put into production until 2020. Or if you see the year 1998 stamped onto a more modern creed patch, for example. You might need to do some googling to find out when the specific styles were actually made.
Please note that while looking at the information in the style number and doing these searches can be a very valuable part of the authentication process, it cannot make up the entire process. If you want to make sure your bag is authentic, you need to look at several different factors and not focus solely on a serial or style number. And of course, should you have a bag with the "00000" number, it is even more important to look at other factors for authenticity.
