I went to an event last night and it was the first chance that I've had in a long time to get dressed up! I was wearing black and sparkly silver and so I decided to carry a sweet little bag that I've had for many years. I love this little bag because it is pretty and dressy but it's not too small and it holds my phone and all the other essentials.

It's the Madison Small Pleated Hobo 1486. It's made of black satin with leather trim with a pretty violet lining and it's decorated with Swarovski Crystals - a very sweet little bag.

I bought the bag in 2010 and it was my first ebay Coach purchase. I was nervous about it because the listing was poor and I couldn't find any more information about the bag, but @Hyacinth identified it and told me that it had been released for the 2005 Holiday Season. It originally retailed for $278, so I was happy to buy it on ebay for only $56! I don't use it often but I always enjoy carrying this lovely little bag!

Below is a Coach stock photo that was shared by @Hyacinth of the Madison Small Pleated Hobo 1486. The pictures of the bag with dustbag and of the creed were originally posted @lilwaif and there's also a couple of my earliest (poor) attempts at taking and uploading pictures of purses!

I've never had a problem with this bag not holding its shape. I imagine it would be pretty easy to cut plastic or cardboard to fit the bottom. I've done that for other bags, none that I own currently. Usually when I wasn't happy with the sagging, eventually I wasn't happy with the bag, even after trying to fix it.
Hmm. Mine looks like this. Yours don't?:confused1:

Simple but classy! Love it!
 
that could be from poor storage. Mine has a nice flat bottom. The sides are folded in but I think they are supposed to so the handles come together. I can't remember if I rehabbed mine. Rehabbing should allow you to mold it back into the proper shape.
Thank you, @whateve . Mine also folds on the sides. The bottom does not stay flat when carried (with wallet, keys, some weight inside), does it? My pictures were with full size heavy wallet inside. I can totally see it flattened after the rehab but I can imagine it will droop in no time if I put anything inside. I will probably rehab it after I use some more! Thx.
