The little bucket shaped bag has 2 top handles plus a cross body strap. The creed is very faded but says D9C 9301, I think. Made in USA. Dimensions are about 11 1/2" at widest, 7 1/2" tall and about 4"deep

The larger bag with the tuck in flap is much easier to see the creed. It's about 10" wide, 8 1/2" tall measured at top of inner wall, without the flap closed, so a little taller if it's closed, and it's got a 5" depth at the fuller bottom part. Thanks for any info you might have.

Hi, I made another lucky find at the thrift store today. I got a beechnut 1994 Madison Royalton 4403 bag for $10 (now my little Gracie has a big sister!)

See pics at the link below.

I didn't post it in the authentication thread because I was certain it was genuine - the leather, hardware, construction, and creed patch are just like Gracie!

But I was wondering if you have any more information about the Royalton?

Hyacinth told me that Gracie sold for $242 (which was quite expensive back in 1994!) And I was wondering if you also knew the retail cost of the Royalton bag?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The bag on the right (in your first picture) with the serial number 819-2479 is the "Courier Pouch", made in New York City, probably in the late 1970's - early to mid 1980's.

The bag on the left is a Bleecker from 1999 but I don't know the exact name.

They both look good. Wait for other opinions on the "Name" for the Bleecker.

thank you! I was very curious about the Courier Pouch since it is so old, and it was in such great shape. I don't see many of them on *bay, --But I do love the little "bleecker" a lot. Both thrift shop finds that I've cleaned & conditioned.

Thanks! I love that it's roomy but not too big. Some of the bigger bucket styles that I've seen are so pretty, but I hate digging into deep purses trying to find my keys and stuff ! :wondering The crossbody and top handle combo makes it perfect! Just gotta pretty her up now with a fob or something.

Hello, I have a question. Dose anyone here know if the Madison Shoulder tote 15958 was a limited edition or not. It was just recently out but I was just curious.

Thank You!

The Royalton sold for $324 in 1993. I love the "matched set"! :smile1:

You previously told me that the Gracie originally sold for $242 and now I've learned that the retail cost for the Royalton was $324.

I know my bags are used and vintage and not retail, but I was amazed to think that I had gotten nearly $600 dollars in bags for a total of $12!

But then 4vryng reminded me that due to inflation, they would cost $900 new today! (And they probably wouldn't be of such high-quality, either!)

Wow! :faint:

My mother got me my first Coach bag today! It was at a thrift store for half off of $9.99. It looks like it was displayed or left in the sunlight for too long but still beautiful. Where do I find the "Apple" I am reading about to shine it and restore? Is that what I should use or is there a better way? How do I find out what it is called and it's value? It has a small change purse on one end and cell purse on the other. Two pockets under the flap one with zipper. Full flap with COACH bottom right. No.4C-9911. Long two inch adjustable strap.

You should probably take some pictures and post them on the authentication thread. I am sorry to tell you this but that number appears on the "always fake" list, see the link below. :sad:

At least she didn't spend a lot of money on it and maybe you can take it back?

I'm sorry but it's not necessary to take the time to post pictures. Unfortunately, thrift shops, consignment stores, yard sales and other venues are notorious for not authenticating items and selling fakes. Although they claim that "we never implied they were authentic," it doesn't matter.

Even though they're a charitable organization, they still have to abide by the law and it's illegal to sell fakes.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble. I hope you can get your money back because even $10 is too much for a fake. :sad:
