Coach Purse Color Abbreviations

By Ray Sherman

You can find your Coach purse color abbreviations on most price tags that come with these bags. Knowing what colors the letters and numbers stand for can be pretty much nothing but guess work if you are not familiar with the product. There are several reasons why the combinations are hard to understand. First, there are lots of colors. Second, Coach usually separates the color abbreviations by each part, or material the purse is made from. For example, you will have a color abbreviation for the fabric, the leather and the hardware. When there are this many combinations being used it can get confusing! Still, it is very useful.

Let's see what a coach purse color abbreviation might look like. Usually the abbreviation order is hardware, body, leather. We'll use a Soho Signature Wristlet as an example. The wristlet body is khaki color. The hardware is silver and the leather trim, hang tag and strap is chocolate. The tag code (or color abbreviation), usually on the upper right hand corner, will likely show the following:

SKHCH

This abbreviation code stands for S-Silver, KH-Khaki and CH-Chocolate. Easy enough, right?

Not exactly! (but we'll get through it!) Chocolate and chestnut are both close in color and who would really know that CH is chocolate and not chestnut, or cherry for that matter? If you need to know these color abbreviations, it can get confusing. These Coach color abbreviations are important when trying to find a perfect match for your Coach purse or accessory. Sometimes the colors are closely matched but you can only be sure of a perfect match by using the Coach color abbreviations found on the tag.

Another variation of how the color abbreviations are used is that some abbreviations such as Pink will have a number after them such as: Pk1 or Pk4. This can be especially important to know when buying online. The only sure way to an exact match are the color abbreviations and it's always best to ask the seller what the color code says on the tag before purchasing, making sure it's the same as your coach purse color abbreviation printed on your tag.

The hardware does not offer as much trouble and is fairly straight forward. The main metals you will see are BZ-Bronze, B-Brass, GM-Gun Metal and S or SV-Silver. Brass will often have a number after it like B4. To many, brass is brass with the exception of antique brass but again, if you are looking for a perfect match the coach abbreviations are the only certain way to make it happen.

Though not important for matching, Coach also has some standard tag abbreviations for style collections which can be useful. Most are self explanatory such as HMW for Hamptons Weekend or GAL for Gallery. Others are not as obvious such as PFM for Perfume or FLT for Flirt. It's best to use a good Coach color abbreviation chart when you really need to be sure of an abbreviated color or style.

Stop guessing your coach purse color abbreviations and start knowing for sure you've got a perfect match!

You might see Italian purses made with real crocodile skin, python snake skin, or even ostrich skin!

The Mystique of the Fendi Handbag

By Scott Nichols

What do you think of when you hear the name Fendi? Fashion? Quality? Timeless Elegance? Long recognized as a trend setter in the world of high fashion, Fendi symbolizes the highest quality in craftsmanship, painstaking attention to detail and only the most fashionable of clothing and accessories.

The Baguette is most widely recognized and coveted Fendi handbag. The vintage Baguette is a Fendi handbag that is part of the pop culture of the 1990s, believed by some to be a cult object and seen by others as a status symbol. However you see the Fendi Baguette, you must agree that it is a well recognized icon in the realm of designer accessories.

Part of the appeal of the Fendi Baguette lies with its great simplicity. The short shoulder strap was a unique and revolutionary design at the time the Fendi Baguette was brought to market, and the name is so appropriate to the way the Fendi handbag is carried. The association between carrying the handbag under ones arm to the manner in which the French tend to carry their loaves of baguette bread implies both elegance and comedy.

Even though the Baguette may be the most widely recognized of Fendi handbags, Fendi has a comprehensive and diverse line of designer handbags. There are more than 100 handbags available in the current Fendi handbag line, and they range in price from $175 to more than $1,000.

The least expensive Fendi handbag is the Zucca Brown Handbag, which is both simple and practical. The retail price on this bag is $450, but it can regularly be found at the discount rate of $175. Even though this Fend handbag is at the low end of the Fendi price spectrum, it is a high-quality handbag made with the excellent craftsmanship for which Fendi is famous.

At the other extreme of the price range lies the Fendi designer FF monogram canvas shearling trim designer purse. Costing more than $1,000, this Fendi handbag is made of a combination of the highest leather with FF monogram canvas and features engraved hardware. Additional features include a full interior lining with a pocket.

There are numerous other Fendi handbags available between these two extremes of the pricing spectrum. When you decide to invest in a Fendi handbag, you will be purchasing a superior quality and highly fashionable elegant handbag that will likely last for a lifetime.

How to Determine Authentic Prada Handbags

By Vivienne Neveling

For many women a Prada handbag is very appealing and they are undoubtedly very fashionable. The down side however is the fact that some of these goods that are sold on the market are not authentic Prada handbags, but are replicated. Imagine how awful it must be when you open your purse you have coveted for so long, only to discover it is far from being a designer handbag, it is actually a fake. There are criminals out there who want to sell replica goods under false pretenses; you have to make sure you are not a victim of these crimes. This legendary fashion houses goods are constantly replicated, but other design houses such as Gucci, Miu Miu, Fendi, Chanel, Versace etc also have this problem.

What should you look for when checking for authenticity?

This may be an easy task for the trained eye, however Prada purses are of the best quality and the craftsmanship is exceptional. First off the inside should be as good as the exterior and there shouldn't be one stitch out of place. Examine the material closely for any abnormalities and if it is a leather bag, smell it, if you get a hint of any chemical scent it is not the real deal. There should not be discoloration on the hardware and the imprinted Prada logo should be very clear with no hint of untidiness. Check if the inside label states "Made In Italy" and make sure all the writings on the bag are spelt correctly.

The famous triangular logo on the exterior should also be inspected, make sure it's attached properly and that the lettering is well proportioned. Sometimes they have an imprinted logo and see to it that it is properly and flawlessly done. In general there are many things to check, but it seems that if there is one thing out of place, the authenticity may be questioned. If the prices are too good to be true, well they probably aren't authentic handbags. Take a few minutes and inspect the bag before you buy it, don't feel embarrassed and remember when buying online, only buy from authorized resellers.

Designer handbags are pricey, but they are designed, hand made, only the finest materials are used and labor costs are not cheap in the European countries. The fake handbags are copied, inferior materials are used, the laborers are poorly paid and who knows what age, but someone makes a huge illicit revenue. Every woman has to choose what she will buy, but ask someone who has had authentic Prada handbags and they will testify to terrific quality and absolute satisfaction.

Authentic Prada Handbags will accessorize your outfit glamorously; this prestigious fashion house has been giving women fashionable looks to step out in style. Visit us at Handbags Boutique to view beautiful Designers Handbags.
