HI.

I called one of the outlets and they have a Madison Gathered Tote (black/gold), 20522, now $174 plus tax.

1) Would you purchase this? And in what capacity would you use it? Not looking to use for hauling papers etc, but something to use out at weddings/ events etc. Is this too 'casual' versus other styles? I am not sure if I would be able to find other styles, and not too keen to spend too much on the bay.

2) Another Madison Gathered Lindsay is also available, the style number is F18643, after all discounts this comes to $232 inc tax.
I have read up on the MFF and FP, and still trying to get a hang of this. I am confused as to why it has an F. Is the quality of this not like that of a FP item, and what are the differences in quality, workmanship etc ?

Not sure where to post this, so thought chat should be ok. I would love feedback from anyone.

Thank you!

If you talk to the outlets, all styles will have an F in the front of the style number. That is how they store them in their computer. The Lindsay and Madison tote are both FP items. I don't think the tote is casual at all.

The gathered tote is beautiful & you found one @ an excellent price! I wouldn't pass it up. It's not casual at all. The gathered + gold hw w/ black leather make it dressy but still great for everyday use too.
The F is just part of the style #. This is definitely a boutique, FP bag.

I appreciate the above responses. Thank you!

I ended up purchasing the Madison Gathered Lindsay, F18643 instead of the Madison gathered tote. The 2nd set of numbers on the creed begin with an F.

Having purchased this bag (will decide whether to keep); what is the difference between this and a boutique similar bag?

This is a gift for my soon to be college graduate daughter; she's has had her eyes on this bag for some time, but would rather not pay the steep price tag.

Would you all keep this bag?

Again..I certainly appreciate the help and guidance on tPF. You all are wonderful!

The full price version has a horse and carriage emblem on the front above the Coach lozenge. I've never compared the factory version to the full price version so I don't know if the quality differs. I think other people on the forum have gotten these and been happy with them. If it feels nice and looks nice to you, what else matters?

Ugh, I'm just fuming. Evilbay seller sent me a Coach bag just SHOVED into a box - no tissue, no bag, no dustbag, no plastic grocery store bag! Just box --- Candace. AND they didn't even fold the handles down! Now one of the handles is bent, as well as the top edge. AND there's a deep pock mark that wasn't disclosed in the pictures or the listing. I sent a note. They are a power seller - whatever the eff that is - so I can't leave negative or neutral feedback until a week has passed! Ridiculous. They'll think I'll forget. I won't.

What? You can't leave feedback because they are a powerseller? I never heard of that. A power seller is just someone who has gotten more than 100 positive feedbacks in a year. I'm sorry this happened to you. If the seller doesn't help, you can open a SNAD case. I wouldn't want to leave feedback anyway until the situation is resolved.

Wow, I've never seen that. I wonder if it is only for Powersellers? I can see why they do it, though, because they want to give the seller an opportunity to make things right. If the Powerseller gets a negative, they might lose their Powerseller status.

The way I look at it, you have a better chance of getting them to try to make you happy if you haven't left feedback yet. The threat of the negative might be enough for them to try to correct the situation.

This happened to me a few days ago too! In the auction pic the bag had a dust bag under it so I assumed the dust bag came with it--NOPE! It was just shoved into the ups box no bubble wrap no ghetto walmart bag packaging- nothing! So rude. And on top of that I noticed a small leather flake off on the crossbody strap. Oh well what can u do. That's the risk you take when buying used. Now if it was nwt I'd be beyond pissed it wasn't protected during shipping!
