Consumers may be able to claim up to $10 in cash or a $40 voucher from a Coach Outlet discount class action settlement that will resolve claims of misleading sales advertising.
Those who can benefit from the settlement include individuals who purchased certain items offered at a discount from a Coach Outlet location between Dec. 23, 2011, and Aug. 24, 2020. Coach Outlet items must have been offered at a discount from the company’s “suggested retail price” or “MFSRP.”
Consumers filed a class action lawsuit against the company after noticing the items they supposedly bought at a discount at Coach Outlet locations had not actually been offered for sale at Coach’s regular retail locations.
Coach New York, a luxury goods retailer founded in 1941, sells handbags, wallets, luggage, clothing, jewelry and other accessories, such as belts and sunglasses. The company has nearly 200 stores, including retail and outlet locations, throughout the U.S., according to Reference for Business.
According to the complaint, Coach manufactures goods specifically for its outlet locations. These items are never sold in retail Coach locations. However, the company allegedly deceived consumers into thinking they were getting a good deal on items that were offered for sale at retail Coach locations.
Coach Outlet discount items are lower quality than the items sold at Coach retail stores, the plaintiffs alleged. However, the company represents to consumers that the outlet items are of the same quality, the class action lawsuit argued, pointing out Coach failed to distinguish between its regular and outlet lines of products by using a different brand or style numbers.
The class action lawsuit noted this deceptive marketing scheme is called “reference pricing.” Reference pricing schemes prey upon consumers’ perceptions that they are receiving a deep discount on a luxury item.
Coach allegedly took the deceptive reference pricing scheme further by including indications the outlet products would be sold at regular retail locations.
Tags included “MFSRP,” which allegedly duped consumers into thinking the outlet items had been offered at a higher retail price.
Coach refuses to admit any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $4.6 million to end the class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Class Members can elect to claim either a cash award or a voucher.
Specifically, Coach has reserved approximately $3.8 million for vouchers. In the event the voucher fund is greater or less than the number of claims filed, Class Members will receive a proportional share of the fund in the form of less valuable vouchers or additional vouchers.
In addition, Coach has agreed to take action to ensure compliance with price comparison laws. The company has agreed to train employees and monitor compliance regarding the use of reference pricing within one year.
To make a claim, Class Members must submit a claim form either online or by mail.
Class Members with proof that the item they purchased at a Coach Outlet contained a reference price or “MFSRP,” such as a price tag and/or proof they made more than $150 in purchases, can receive either $10 in cash or a $40 voucher. Those without proof or who spent less than $150 can claim either $5 in cash or a $20 voucher.
Coach vouchers will be valid for one year. The deadline to submit a claim is Jan. 21, 2021.
Class Members who wish to exclude themselves from or object to the Coach Outlet class action settlement is Jan. 24, 2021. The final hearing is scheduled for Feb. 23, 2021.
Who’s Eligible
Class Members include those who purchased certain items offered at a discount from a U.S. Coach Outlet location between Dec. 23, 2011, and Aug. 24, 2020. Coach Outlet discount items must have been offered at a discount from the retailer’s “suggested retail price” or “MFSRP.”
Potential Award
$10 cash or $40 voucher.
- Class Members with proof that the item they purchased at a Coach Outlet contained a reference price or “MFSRP,” such as a price tag, and/or proof that they made more than $150 in purchases, can receive either $10 in cash or $40 in vouchers.
- Class Members without proof or who spent less than $150 can claim either $5 in cash or a $20 voucher.
Proof of Purchase
Class Members must provide the location of purchase and price. Class Members who can provide proof that they purchased more than $150 at a Coach Outlet or who can provide proof that the item they purchased at a Coach Outlet contained a reference price or “MFSRP,” such as a price tag, can claim a larger settlement award.

Yes. Add me. Which mean they will contact you by phone or email. Lol!
Yes my sister and I both go to Coach at least four times a year.
Can all of you idiots stop saying “add me”….it doesn’t work that way
I have proof for one of the purses I purchased. The other was purchased a few years ago for a “special” birthday and I don’t have the receipt for it. But I know when and where I purchased it. Also what about a picture? Would that be sufficient for the second bag? What a bummer that we’ve been duped.
Class action website won’t let me upload the receipt. Keeps saying there’s an error although I submitted an jpg file. I’ll get $5 instead of $40 because of their lousy website.
Always bought coach, thought I was getting a good deal, I guess not
Have purchased 2 wallets and 3 purses in Oregon @ Coach Outlet. Add me
It’s true that the appearance of a “deal” to be had is at the Outlet Stores… and the prices on tags are marked like that,,, but inside the bag are the stamped codes on the leather label and the corporate office can tell from those numbers (if you call in) which are outlet only bags. They do design for the outlet only and the coordinating stamped numbers can tell that (although the customers are not told that). They have a different code on them than the regular bags sold at retail stores.

Same here? Why do you suppose I got the notice?

This case is so lame. I filled out about three dozen claims using fake names and addresses just to much up the works. This case is being handled by Angeion Group, I bet. Yes, it will be completely screwed up all on its own. Most of the alleged class member that were contacted likely never did business with coach. Angeion Group often falsifies the class member lists.

This case is being handled by Angieon Group. They likely had your name and email from some previous case. The class action administrators top up their class member lists by using names from previous cases. It happens all the time. My name has appeared on 14 since 2017. I was only a customer of three of the 14 defendants. Of the three I only had a legit claim to one.
At first I thought the email was SPAM. I never give my email when shopping. Furthermore, I have never purchased anything from Coach. How is it that they can have my email?
Has anyone been able to get this to go through? on 12/19/20? mine wont go through no matter what I do
Add me please.

You can ask your credit card company for copies of the receipts.
Add me please

Add me, please.
I found this site because I did a Google search after I got the notice. Any idea why they sent me a notice? I have never been to a coach outlet, or store. Do they even make men’s products?
The case is being handled by Angieon Group. Odds are you were a class member on some case they handled months, or years ago, so they have your name, address, and email.
Angieon Group has a reputation for padding the class member lists with random names from other cases, or mailing lists. Once you are in their system, you will get class action notices for years to come (even if you have never done business with the defendant).
All the allegations are true! I’m a Coach customer since the 1980s and have been told about this fro people who work there. In the nineties they stamped a circle on the logo in the lining to show it came from an outlet. I have receipts and still have price tags attached to some of the more recent ones I’ve gotten from a local outlet and from their online outlet. The purses are notably different from the full price stores. Employees at the stores haven’t recognized some of my outlet bags. (Employees at the outlets didn’t recognize my full price bags, either.) please add me. I have proof.
Add you to what? Who is it you are asking to “add you”. This is just a discussion forum. Top Class Actions can no more “add you”, than the clerk at 7-11 can. If you want to put your personal contact details at risk then go over to the settlement web site and file a claim, so you can get your $40 voucher or $10 check. You cannot do that here.

I learned the hard way. Bought a bag at the outlet. We to a coach store in the city where I work, to see if they carried any type of cleaner for my bag. The clerk liked down her nose at me and told me the bags were made specifically for the outlet, were a lesser quality yada yada. I left the store and have never bought another coach bag. I’m not joining suit because I no longer have the receipt but I’m happy to see people are learning what’s really going on with these bags.
I am not sure what loss you experienced. If you bothered to ask, I am sure any salesclerk would have been more than happy to show you witch bags are out of season bags that were sold in retail stores, and witch bags are specific to the outlet, and so on. There is no banner on the front of the store that claims, “All these bags are last season’s bags that were offered in retail stores”. You just made an assumption that the bag you bought was once sold in a retail store.
In my experience, 90% of class members are simply people who did not read the contract they signed, or did not do their homework before buying.
I thought the point of people posting was in response to the outlet stores selling products of lesser quality, with no real original price to discount but a made up price to infer a value that was never there to start. ? I have shopped via more than one coach outlet and purchased multiple bags and wallets of various sizes at coach outlets over the years. Please add me without proof of receipt.
You did know that this is nothing more than a forum, and the administrators of the forum are not the administrators of the lawsuit. So your “please add me” did not count as a claim in anyway, and will never be seen by the class administrators.
Add me I have bought several coach purses wallets etc.
I have 6 coach bags and purchased 4 for gifts. Add me please
10 coach bags purchased at prime outlets Jeffersonville Ohio
I own a couple coach purses.
I bought over 10 coach purses with the matching wallets
I am not, and have never been a customer of any COACH outlet. I have called COACH, and verified that I have no account. Furthermore this is not the first time Angeion Group Class Action Administrators has randomly chosen and placed my name on a class list.
How can a class action be considered legitimate if the class member names are randomly pulled from mailing lists? It makes much more sense if the class was made up of actual customer names, not just random names pulled from mailing lists.
I also never purchases anything from a COACH outlet. Any idea why I received the notice as well?
Your name likely appeared on another class list administered by Angeion Group at some time in the past.
I reached out to the law firm. I am no longer part of the class (deleted not opt-out). I so wish my personal details would not get passed around needlessly like this.

I have never bought any COACH product in my life, so I cannot provide proof of anything. Furthermore they sent the notice to the email that I use ONLY for my resume.
You folks keep telling people that class member lists are not forged. If they are not, then why is it that in 2019 I received nine notices, and five in 2020. In almost every case, I was never a customer of the defendant?
Add my name, have shop @ Coach Outlet stores.

I feel cheated from this class action lawsuit $10.00 really??? While the lawyers get 4.5 million. I spent over 2,000 or more the last several years online and outlit. Come on people this is a joke!!!… Plus $40.00 to spend again?..
Add me
Seriously there is a reason they are cheaper. They make bags just for the outlet. All the outlets have a retail bag section, the retail bags that are sold in non outlet stores are much better quality from the lining and hardware to the leather. They make bags specifically for the outlet. Same with Guess Outlet, the clothes there are not the same as what is at an actual Guess store.
I have quite a collection of Coach purses,I still continue to buy them and after reading this I feel cheated and lied to. Please add me to this claim.
Every year I purchase some for myself and family always purchase some every year for me as gifts. I have a room that I have them all. Please add my name to this.
Please add me. I don’t have receipts but I do have the bags! Purchases from outlets in VA and MD.
Please add me. I bought one of their cheaply made bags that is falling apart and I thought I was getting a good sale price.
