I hope you find a lovely Putty bag. It's such an interesting color!
Thanks, Bigal! I like having a mission! I'm thinking studying the color examples might help me thrifting.
I like that too! I think learning the colors is really helpful. The sage from this time period is a gorgeous green too. I think in all I'm only missing a vintage red. Here are the colors I have. The lighter flap under the tags is my putty classic pouch.

What a great collection, Bigal! Thanks for sharing! You're motivating me to check & group the classics I have....
I had that bag on my watch list when it was $100 but then thought that was too steep a price for missing a shoulder strap. But now, hey, I am way more likely to buy it for another $60.00. Duh! I have three of these bags, one currently in rotation, which I think is Mahogany, a Wheat and British Tan. I would love one in Tomato. I love them, they are the perfect size. I love all satchels that have a zipper that goes right around. The Asheville Zip is great too, I have a couple of them, too, and of course, Baxters.Didn't sell the first time around so it's now been relisted for $160.
Makes sense. I'm sure more people will jump on it now that it's $60 higher. Buyers were probably out there thinking, "What? I wanted to pay more than $100!" /sarcasm off
Hi, Whateve, I have a couple of 9808 Equestrian Flaps, I adore them even though I have to admit they have a little bit of a design flaw, in that you always have to reposition the straps after opening them. I wasn't aware that there were other sizes. What is the other style number and do you have a picture to show? Thanks.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply there were others from the same collection. There are a few briefcase sized bags that are similar in design but don't have the same hardware.
My Madison Biltmore & Gracie rainbow. R to L: Garnet, Scarlet, Forest, (blue?), Navy.
I'm still hunting for cheap Butter, Citron, and Mandarin in this family.
I had Maple Biltmore but decided I didn't like and would never wear the color again after the first time I carried it, and a Granite Biltmore that was too splotchy for me, so they've been rehomed.

Oh, it's supposed to have a strap? I didn't realize that. Meh, doesn't matter to me cos I hate shoulder bags. They always slide right off my shoulder. I take the straps off (if they have them) and put them to the side. Satchels are my preferred bag. I took them off my Italian Madison AND my Sonoma satchel I just bought. It's in Tomato and STUNNING. Dunno if you saw my pics. My NYC Madison satchel didn't come with a strap. If I rehabbed bags and resold them, it would make more sense to buy multiples, but since I don't ....
I'm the type of person who doesn't have multiples of the same bags in different colors. When I was looking for a red bag, there was a NYC Madison (no glued-in serial number) on eBay. Same as my British Tan one. It was a gorgeous red but ... no could do. The only thing similar about my bags is the structure. I have a black, khaki green, etoupe, British Tan, tomato red and rosey pink.
I still think the slim satchel is GORGEOUS. Love the patina.

OOH Pretty! I didn't realize there was two shades of red. I guess my Gracie is Citron.
OK, I was just starting to get a little worried when people stopped replying to my posts. I hate thinking I've upset someone and can't for the life of me think why.
And ... WOW! That is cheap, but small and totally impractical for me.

According to Cameochi, these are great but super rare. She has a black one and says it's a great evening bag for those who carry evening bags.
Personally, I don't.
