I had several in the Madison line at one point and I loved that line at the time, but at the end of the day I'm glad I got rid of the ones I did. The leather was pretty but I couldn't get over how fragile and thin most the colorful leather was, where the corners would rub to white, so I only kept/used the black ones even back then!
Off the top of my head, I kept/used but then sold my Sabrina (OpArt signature fabric), black leather Maggie (with gathered C's), and all of my croc-embossed ones (blk Sophia, blk Maggie, and gray croc one, I think Ashley? The croc ones all had the little jewels with the hangtags). I gave my red patent Sophia to my mom since she loved it and I basically never used it, and she still carries it all the time!

The only Madison I still have is the floral applique Sophia. I never use her except for special occasions, but I still love her and her pretty flowers:

Madison was my introduction to Coach and they are my favourite bags. Sophia was perfect for me and my first real bag. I wish I had kept more of my collection--handbags, wristlets and wallets. I never thought they would end this gorgeous line. I have only three left:

Sophia and Juliette are similar in what they hold. Sophia is a bit larger, Juliette is a bit broader and has the front pocket. Dreamer is very pretty.., but (to me) it misses a contrasting lining or at least a lighter one and it doesn't hold a lot.., it is unfortunately a bit useless to me :(

I probably had 20 or so Madison bags and several Kristins at one point years ago and I sold them all...huge regret!!! Right now all I have left is big mama Kristin Sage in Jade.

Oh, i envy our Jade Sage! I was lucky enough to find a Navy Sage for sale. I love it but the Jade is my dream bag.

So funny to see this thread, I was just using my hair calf tiger print caroline for the first time in years the other day. I still have quite a few madisons including that caroline, two phoebes, two sadies, one of them being the hair calf, and a lizard madeline, which is the only madison bag I regret buying, I'm sure there are a few other madison bags i have, I need to shop the closet again!

I miss Madison too. I remember also when the lining color was a big deal. We used to wait for someone to get the bag first and do a reveal to show the lining. Now it is not even a thing.

Still have quite a few bags in my collection....red gathered sophia, purple gathered sophia, amethyst gathered sophia, purple croc audrey with the jewel, black patent Sabrina with amber hardware, fuchsia sophia, grey/black ocelot audrey, Jade patent Audrey, burnt orange Sophia with silver hardware. Guess I still have quite a lot!! I LOOOVED the black floral sophia and think it is still one of the most gorgeous bags Coach ever made. However, I had it twice and sold it twice as it was just too big for me. Just the other day I carried a smooth eggplant Mia. It stinks that this bag was one of the ones where they did the dreaded baby blue lining, LOL. Where this bag is open it would have looked amazing with a teal lining.

I regret selling a couple of my Kristin bags...violet, Aegean with the coolest ocean blue lining ever. Remember the Parker bags too? I still have the pearl pink shoulder bag with rosegold hardware. I carry in the summer and to this day still get compliments on it.

It makes me sad to see these bags are selling for $70 on eBay. I want to sell my purple croc Audrey as it is too heavy for me now, but just can't part with it for bargain basement prices. I moved away from Coach after Madison. The price went way up and the bags got either too small or too heavy. I do like the small Dreamer though. Regret selling my post Madison small pink Python Crosby

I still have All of my Sophia’s! lol. Haven’t been really using any of them for quite some time as I’ve moved on to more luxury brands...I still do love the line and think they’re the most beautiful bags Coach has ever come out with. I’ve thought about selling some but I can’t seem to part with them (I have about 20 or so Sophia’s). They’re just so light, pretty and user friendly. This reminds me to take one out and start using them again!

I do miss the Madison bags. I found a gorgeous "Criss-cross Lindsey" in my closet a couple of days ago that is still like brand new. I was actually surprised by how large that bag is; I didn't remember Lindsey being so big. This week I gave my two remaining Isabelles to my daughter.

Oh my goodness! I've been looking for the criss-cross version! Please let me know if you see one for sale anywhere! <3
