Someone posted this on the eBay discussion forums. At first, I thought "I've yet to see a fake Maryanne"...but the OP is right...the chain is not correct. The links are wrong and there isn't any leather woven in. Also, on the inside, notice the zipper pocket...that's a style I've not seen on a Gold Coast Maryanne. Of late, the inside has the gold spade stapled in...this one does not.

Gee, Mari, you might be on to something...but...

I did my homework and found several blogs that showed this bag with the marine link chain back in 2010. There was one in gray as well. So...it's most likely first generation but authentic.
 
Well, really, no kate spade is "vintage." kate spade has only been making bags since 1993, so no kate is over 20 years old. However, this is from some of her earlier nylon collections. It's Italian nylon, which ran about $100 more than the regular nylon collections. I'm not really sure what year these came out. Sometime prior to 1999, I believe. Here's a link to some info on those bags... http://ihatecounterfeitbags.info/italiannylon

So are you saying it is vintage?....or better yet, how old do you believe it to be? If it's not okay to ask questions, I do apologize.
