Coach Madison Embossed Exotic Leather Op Art Audrey Tote (Style 14570/14578 variant)
Coach · Clothing & Accessories > Handbags > Totes
Era / Decade
Circa 2009-2010. The script metal logo and 'Op Art' embossed leather were hallmarks of the Madison collection during this period.
Material
Metallic gold/bronze embossed leather (likely bovine leather with a metallic foil finish) with light gold-tone or silver-finished hardware and a sateen interior lining.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The exterior shows typical structural softening (slouching) and minor creasing. The metallic finish appears mostly intact, though there is potential light rubbing at the bottom corners. Handles appear sturdy.
Demand Level
Moderate. While metallic bags are currently trending as 'neutrals,' older Coach leather styles move steadily rather than instantly. Higher demand during holiday or wedding guest seasons.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
Low: $45 | Mid: $75 | High: $110 (depending on interior cleanliness and corner wear)
Estimated Retail Value
$358.00 - $398.00 USD (original MSRP)
Comparable Sales
Recent sales for the Madison Op Art leather series range from $60 to $95 on Poshmark. Pristine examples with original dust bags occasionally reach $120.
Description
Sophisticated Coach Madison tote in a stunning metallic bronze/gold embossed leather featuring the signature 'Op Art' C-pattern. This spacious bag features dual flat shoulder straps, polished hardware, and the iconic script Coach logo on the front. Includes matching leather hangtag. The interior typically features a zippered pocket and multifunctional slip pockets, perfect for organization.
Key Features
Large 'Op Art' embossed leather pattern, highly desirable metallic finish, script logo hardware, matching hangtag included, and exterior side slip pockets for easy access.
Authenticity Indicators
High Confidence. The script logo font is correct for the Madison line; the leather hangtag matches the bag material perfectly; the hardware rings are high-quality. A 'creed' patch inside should have a serial number prefixed with 'M09' or 'A10' typical of this era.
Flaws to Note
Structural slouching from use, minor creasing in the leather, possible scuffing at the base corners where metallic finishes often peel over time. Check interior for ink marks or stains.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay are the best venues. Poshmark is particularly strong for mid-range Coach bags because of the brand's high search volume on the platform.
Selling Tips
Stuff the bag with tissue paper for photos to show its full shape. Use keywords like 'Madison,' 'Op Art,' 'Metallic Gold,' and 'Boho-Chic.' Clear photos of the bottom corners and the interior creed patch are essential for buyer trust. A light wipe with a dry cloth can enhance the metallic luster.
