I'd love to get my hands on one but they are so rarely offered for sale. I keep looking though!
I'm very glad to hear your husband is ok. That's what matters the most.
No, thank you! She never went anywhere with me! Now she's going places! [emoji16]
A small gift for my little Gracie!
The beechnut Gracie was the first of my vintage "Made in Italy" caviar leather Madison Coach bags. She is tiny and impractical but I love her dearly. I found her at the Salvation Army Store for only $2.00 and she was an easy rehab. Her style number is 4413 and she was released in 1994 for $242.
I always felt bad that I was unable to replace her missing long leather strap with a genuine Gracie strap, but I am happy with the MFF gold "curb link chain strap" that I bought on the Coach Factory Online Sale.
Recently I earned $3 in eBay Bucks and I was looking for opportunities to use it on an inexpensive item when I came across a small, flannel "Coach Madison Collection" dustbag for $10 shipped. It is the same kind of dustbag that originally came with the Italian Madison bags.
So I figured "Why not give Gracie a treat?" and I ordered it for her! She is once again encased in the proper storage bag and looking like the perfect little lady that she has always been.
So far I have invested a total of $24 in my Gracie rehab ($2 for the bag, $15 for the gold chain strap, and $7 for the dustbag) and it amazes that the actual purse was the cheapest item on the list!
Here is my sweet Gracie in her new dustbag!

Aaaw, you tell the best stories katev! Your love for your Coach treasures is clear.
(I enjoy finding treats to buy with my eBay bucks too!)
Thanks! You just really love some of your bags more, and Gracie is one of my dearest treasures!
I have your Gracies bigger sister. Her long strap was missing as well. I love your replacement for her.
I.m sorry she is sidewise, but I love her color and have never seen another one like her.
Is this the 4417? Love the color! [emoji7]
Yes! I found her on Etsy a few years ago. I really only collect the larger Madison bags. I think they are perfection. Most of the Coach are too small.
It's a Biltmore! I love it! I have it in red. (Of course!) [emoji16]
The red must be divine. I have another style in the red and I love it.
