I just got the gold coast christy from nordstrom on sale in black. I love love love it! It is so classic and cute, could be dressed up or down. The quality of mine is lovely, no thread snags or obvious scuffs. The only thing I worry about is the padded leather will wrinkle if smooshed down, particularly in the middle under the flap and in the top middle of the flap itself. I am already seeing it and figure it will be important to store the bag stuffed full of something.

I got the Gold Coast Maryanne Large in Black during the recent sale and I am loving every bit of it. My niece who owns nothing but chanel purses actually thought it was a chanel. I have no complaints so far although I carry it everywhere.
I have this same bag and it's beautiful. Funny, I saw the same bag on a gal walking through a store recently and it made my heart skip a beat just seeing it.
I have two Maryanne's, black and cream. I have never bought the same purse in a different color before but I really like this one. I am considering a third in a bright color. Do you think that's too much? Are all your's the same style Gold Coast or different models? I love mine too, I just don't know about a third, but it's just such a classic style. What to do?!? TIA
I saw one of these small crossbody gold coast georgina in hot pink at a Marshalls around two weeks ago(forgot price). I am pretty sure it is real and it looked cute and all but the leather felt weird like almost too squishy and thin so I looked inside the bag to find the cloth tags - low and behold it wasn't 100% leather. I forgot what exactly it read but if it was 100% leather it should have said that, like what other bags do. Are they all like that?
Depends on which size you get, I have a Small Georgina and a Large Maryanne, and while the former is a bit small I can carry my iPad in case, make up bag and wallet, along with sunglasses (no case) and a few other knick knaks and do dads (key's, small phone etc) without it being too stuffed.
The Maryanne would be the one that would be able to carry a lap top depending on how big it is, but with the chain I'm not sure you'd want to carry a lap top in it as the bag itself is already quite heavy.
I hope that helps!
thanks so much for the advice! That's what I was thinking-- the chain look is soo luxe and pretty but I think it could get a bit heavy as an everyday work bag. I might just go for a smaller Georgina or another style and use it as a weekend purse
I do LOVE both bags, so I have a hard time saying anything critical, lol. I've actually found my Minkoff MAC almost the same weight because the chain is even heavier on that bag, but I'm in love with chain handled bags I can't help it. I'll just have to suffer!
I have three Gold Coast Elizabeths! Fuchsia, hydrangea and black. I just picked up a new Margot in Platinum (discontinued) on Ebay which looks very similar to the Elizabeth but without the side pockets. I love them all. In light of Kate Spade discontinuing the Gold Coast line, i say go for it! It was so hard for me to find the Margot because I was not into purses or Kate Spade at the time the Margot was being made.
Hi, trying to figure out how to post via the purseforum app...Time for a Family picture!
I love the app, so much easier to post pictures! Here is my little Gold Coast family picture: the Elizabeth in hydrangea, black and fuchsia. The margot in platinum. it took forever to find on ebay, but i finally found it brand new. i want it also in bronze, if i can find it one day--I haven't used it yet.
