It's authentic. It's not a dinky, it's a pocket purse.

Hi there,
Can you help me authenticate this piece? I've seen a few online (Attache Messenger & some as the Lexington) I purchased this bag at the thrift. I realized after looking at the creed I don't usually see a second letter after the dash. I thought it was a vintage but usually the vintage bags have less numbers that this one does. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Not adding to the authenticity - for reference only. This snippet of the catalog page was online but the color options for #4473 were already cut off.

Thank you. I have a few catalog pictures of the Madison French purse. I don't have any information about the Gramercy French purse. I have the Gramercy continental clutch in my files. It makes sense there would be a Gramercy French purse but I never found that catalog page. It could be in the Reference library and I just missed it.

It's authentic. I have it in my files as Morgan Briefcase, unconfirmed. The F after the dash indicates it was made to be sold in outlet stores. It was made in 2007.

Happy 6000 pages and wishing you all well

Also found this attachment of several Madison items online. Some of the available colors for #4473 French purse are shown.
(Note, the seller watermark - as discussed here previously.)

Thank you! Oh I didn't even realize that's what the F could of meant - Duh! I appreciate your help.

The colors for the Gramercy bags and wallets from Coach Holiday 1998 catalog were Mahogany, Black, Red & Toffee and from Coach Holiday 1999 Blue, Black & Wheat. Kisslock coin closure is different than Madison collection 4473, looks exactly like the kisslock coin closure on my Black Gramercy Envelope Clutch #7098. Thank you all for the help, I do appreciate it. Especially on smalls from limited short production run lines.
