I just came across this listing. It's a Madison but looks too big to be a Gracie. Would like some opinions on it as mine are all solid colors and this one is not.

Any ideas??

What makes you think it is too big to be a Gracie? That's what it looks like to me. I've seen this before, complete with the dustbag. Maybe the seller is a tpfer? It is authentic.
Thanks, I don't need two Gracies. I have one in navy and that's enough. My ranger should finally be here tomorrow. The seller lives less than 2 hours from me and accidentally packed it instead of mailing it before she moved. She finally shipped it Wednesday and it should be here tomorrow. This weekend I will try to get photos of the Sheridans and Dakotas and post them on the vintage page.
Yeah, I don't need a Gracie. If it was a Biltmore, it would be harder to resist. I can hardly wait to see your Ranger.
If it was a Biltmore I would have pounced on it! I've been watching this Carlyle for quite awhile and I asked about the lining but the answer didn't make much sense. I wonder if I could repair the lining or if it's even worth bothering with?

I have that one on my watchlist too. I would love something in that color. I can't decide if it is overpriced. If it was in perfect condition, it would be great price. If the tear is just at the seam, I don't think it would be that hard to repair. It would be hard to make the repair invisible, but if you handsew it, it would probably look fine. I don't know how much fabric you would lose from fraying, so it might make the inside a little smaller. If you don't care what it looks like, you could always patch it.
I asked her if it was at a seam but her answer made no sense at all. I was thinking of using some fabric glue on the back of the lining to prevent fraying and then hand sewing it but I think it would always look like it was repaired. I also think the price is too high considering the condition. I love the deep green and my Chapin is that color. It looks as though it separated from the side of the bag. If that is the case, it's not a hard repair but would be time consuming. The way she answered made it sound as though the lining itself is torn rather than just separated.
It does look torn. You can see fraying in the picture. But it looks like it might be a seam since it looks like there is line of stitching near the edge.

Can't you imagine Reed asking the head of his Material Purchasing Department "Couldn't you have spent just a bit more and bought the fur from the FRONT of the animals?"
