I am celebrating the end of summer with one of my vintage rehab bags. It is the Coach Madison Copley 4414 that was made in Italy in 1996 along with the Madison French Purse Wallet 4473. The color of the bag and wallet is called "Butter" and it is a light, creamy yellow and very pretty but hard to photograph. I bought the bag and wallet from Goodwill for $76 and they were authenticated by @whateve and @Hyacinth.

I have decorated the Copley bag with the Under the Sea Mix fob 93169 B4 MC and I am enjoying my vintage beauties!

Thank you! Yes, the color is called "Butter" and it is lovely. @Hyacinth provided these catalog pages from 1996 with pictures of the Italian Madison bags in butter. They also came in: Beechnut, Black, Forest, Garnet, Granite, and Navy. Some of the bags came in combos of Butter/Black and Butter/Beechnut.

My Copley bag is shown in Beechnut in the second picture below and it originally cost $376.

They are lovely but be aware that a lot of the vintage Italian Coach bags are small, my Copley is a nice medium-sized bag and can hold all my stuff.

Here is a picture of the Copley bag next to my Beechnut Gracie, which is a cute but tiny Italian Madison Coach bag. I carry Gracie as a swingpack when I want something small but stylish. (Note: Gracie has a replacement strap, the Coach "Curb-Chain" strap.)
