Have you ever taken a look at the price tag on your new Coach bag and wondered what all those numbers and letters at the top mean? Those Coach tag numbers have meaning and relate to the specific bag or accessory the tag is attached to.
At the top 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 big F before the numbers. In most cases, this means factory, meaning the bag came from a Coach factory outlet.
The following numbers represent the style of the bag or accessory. In this case, 10925 represents a small mini purse with a flap from the firm Soho. This is the number 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 tag of that stylish 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. The PK stands for pink. The main color of the product is pink. NA stands for natural. The leather trim of the bag is made of natural-colored leather. Combined, you have SPKNA.
If you were to buy this bag, you’d probably notice that the Coach tag has F10925 on the top left. On the right at the top you would see SPKNA. You would have a small flap bag exclusive to Coach with a pink body, natural color leather trim and silver hardware.
The most useful use of these numbers is when you are trying to match elements, especially colors. With so many products and beautiful shades of color featured by Coach, finding the perfect match can be difficult. With tag numbers and color codes, you can’t go wrong!
Brass, for example, comes in various shades. Often 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 shade 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.
