It doesn't look very red, does it?
I stay away from Madisons that need rehabbing. Cream isn't my color at all! I love my Gramercy satchel. I think it isn't as wide as the Sutton. I only hand carry it because it seems like such a ladylike bag but because of that, it doesn't get carried a lot.
I rehabbed a navy blue Sutton. No dunking, just put some acrylic mixed with conditioner on the piping. Unfortunately, I did not take any before pictures, and I sold that bag.
The Pocket Purse is almost exactly the size of a Dinky 24, I found and rehabbed a Pocket Purse last month (it's in my avatar). I love the size, if you use a card case, it fits all your essentials easily.
Here's a 1992 catalog pic of the Sheridan Monticello. Only one hang tag.

No vintage styles came with more than one hangtag. I don't think they started using 2 for any style until around the time the Poppy line came out.
Ireiki4u asked "Can anyone tell me if the Sheridan Monte itto came with 2 hangs tag?"
Just to expand on that a bit - many classic and vintage leather hangtags were made of 2 pieces of leather that were glued together, back to back. Over time the two pieces would sometimes separate, leaving 2 hangtags with the Coach stamp on one side and raw suede on the other.
Unfortunately the fakes makers noticed this, and many of them started to make the same sort of hangtag pair for their fakes, although usually the texture of the unstamped side wasn't correct. Of course you can never determine if a Coach is real or not based only on the hangtag, never assume that the original tag is on the bag or other item that you're buying. Once Coach started using metal hangtags, or leather hangtags where the 2 sides were sewn together instead of glued, the problem of splitting hangtags was solved.

I swear my Court bag is on a wagon coming from the midwest out to the southwest territories! Why is it taking USPS this long to deliver something? The seller dropped it off at the post office on the 10th and it is STILL in the midwest and stating it will be late AGAIN!!!
There is one on Etsy right now. I can't tell if it's gray or black but it looks pretty! No creed pic but you could request one.

And one on ebay but with no strap and a crappy creed pic.
