How to Choose a Replacement Coach Hang Tag

The leather hang tag is one of the most recognizable details on a Coach bag, and it is also one of the easiest parts to lose. A replacement tag finishes a vintage bag, personalizes a new one, or works as a bag charm on its own. We keep a large selection of genuine pre-owned Coach hang tags and fobs, so here is how to choose one.

What size hang tag do I need?

Coach tags are usually described by their length. The sizes we see most often are:

• 1 inch: small round or rectangular tags, common on wristlets, small crossbody bags and wallets.
• 1.5 inch: the classic size for many Y2K-era bags and shoulder bags.
• 2 inch: a standard size for most handbags and totes.
• 2.5 to 3 inch: larger tags for big totes, hobos and as a stand-alone bag charm.

If you still have the original tag or a photo of the bag, match that size. If not, a tag that is roughly the width of the bag's strap ring usually looks proportionate.

Leather or metal?

Most vintage Coach bags shipped with a leather tag that matches or contrasts with the bag's leather. Metal tags and circle tags appeared on many later styles. Pick the one that matches your bag's era, or mix it up if you are using the tag as a charm.

Which chain color should I pick?

Match the chain to the bag's hardware: gold-tone chains for brass and gold hardware, silver-tone for nickel and silver. On many of our tags the chain color can be switched between gold and silver. Brass chains are limited, so ask before ordering if you need a specific one.

How do I attach a hang tag?

Open the bead or ball chain, thread it through the strap ring, D-ring or handle loop, and press it closed until it clicks. If your bag has no ring, a small replacement ring or a split key ring works too.

Are your Coach hang tags authentic?

Yes. Every designer item, including hang tags, is inspected before it is listed. Our tags are pre-owned, so expect light signs of wear consistent with age. Each listing shows the actual tag you will receive.
