Have you ever taken a look at the price tag on your new Coach bag and wondered what all those numbers and letters on top mean? Those Coach tag numbers have meaning and relate to the specific bag or accessory to which the tag is attached.
In the upper left, you will often see something like F10925. This is basically the style number of the product. Not always, but you will often see a large F in front of the numbers. In most cases, this means factory, which means that the bag comes from a Coach store.
The following numbers represent the style of bag or accessory. In this case, 10925 represents a small purse with a flap from Soho. This is the number the coach uses to identify that style bag. Whether it comes from a factory outlet, department store, or boutique, this number will always be on the label of that style bag. Sometimes the name of the bag will be written along with the numbers, smaller and below or in the middle, but not always.
The numbers to the right of the label represent specific details of the item. In this example, we will use SPKNA. The S stands for silver. The hardware of this product is silver. PK means pink. The main color of the product is pink. NA means natural. The leather trim of the bag is made of natural-colored leather. Combined, it has SPKNA.
If you were to buy this bag, you would probably notice that the Coach label has F10925 on the top left. On the right at the top, you will see SPKNA. She would carry a Coach exclusive small flap bag with a pink body, natural-colored leather trim, and silver-colored hardware.
The most useful use of these numbers is when trying to match items, particularly colors. With so many products and beautiful color shades created by Coach, finding a perfect match can be difficult. With tag numbers and color codes, you can’t go wrong!
Brass, for example, comes in various shades. Often times the hardware letter will be followed by a number. You might see something like B4PKNA. The B4 would stand for brass 4, identifying a particular tone or type of brass used by Coach. Even colors sometimes have numbers after their abbreviations, like PK1, which stands for pink 1. As you can see, Coach tag numbers can be quite necessary for a perfect match when shopping for accessories.
