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!

Thanks, they are Swarovski Crystals and they really sparkle! I checked the WayBack Machine for Fall/Winter 2005 and I wasn't able to find my little bag but I found several similar styles; they made a lot of cute and unusual bags that year!

These are adorable! I love the little bags with the butterfly! Those pleated hobos are cute, too.
 
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.
I don't recall it drooping when I carry it. I don't use a full size wallet.

I had a few from this collection. I had the flower motif framed bag and the matching coin purse. They were adorable! I had a large coin purse that matched the gold mosaic hobo in the top row and the suede mosaic wristlet that matched the mosaic pleated hobo in the bottom row.

Those little framed bags are sooo cute!!!
 
That’s funny because I feel the same about the black with rivets!
Yes, it’s a beautiful bag and I love mine.

I still love looking at photos of everyone’s Rogue handbags. It’s definitely one of the nicest bags from Coach in the past number of years.

Twins on the navy 25. I didn’t get the black rivet Rogue because I have the black rivet Dreamer. I try to exercise restraint every now & then, lol

There are loads of other unique and cute bags that were released for Fall 2005, I just grabbed one page from the Wayback Machine that showed a similar pleated jeweled evening bag. Here's another page that shows another "jeweled" bag from that release that I have, the Soho Tweed Demi Flap 8F01, and I also have the matching Soho Jeweled Tweed Pouch Fob 1747 - and I love that little fob!
