Likely manufactured in China or Vietnam, which was standard for Coach's Madison and Poppy lines during this production window.
Era & Period
Late 2000s to Early 2010s (approx. 2009-2012). This era was defined by Coach's shift toward lifestyle nylon bags and decorative webbed straps.
Age Estimate
Circa 2010-2011 based on the use of the Madison crest hardware and the specific style of the webbing strap.
Cultural Significance
This bag represents the 'working woman' chic of the early 2010s, where high-end nylon (popularized by Prada) became an acceptable material for designer everyday bags.
Condition Notes
Fair condition. Visible signs of lint and dust on the nylon body; some fraying at the strap edges; hardware shows light scratching. Structure is slouchy as per design intent.
Value Estimate
Original Retail: $250-$298. Current Resale Market: $45-$85 depending on the cleanliness of the nylon and hardware condition.
Care & Maintenance
Nylon can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Leather trim should be conditioned with Coach Leather Moisturizer. Store in a dust bag to avoid lint accumulation.
