We went to an outdoor festival today and my little vintage Gracie was the perfect choice to carry just the essentials!

I love this bag! I've been hunting around for one, but I can't decide what color because they are all so pretty!

How does the chain attach on the Gracie? I've only seen a leather strap that buttons under the flap. Is there another way?

Great idea to put a chain on your Gracie! Can I ask how you did it or see pics?

I'm a new owner of a Gracie and 2 Biltmore's. They all have the matching strap but I like having different looks.

Thanks! I found my Beechnut Gracie at the Salvation Army store for $2 and but she was missing the strap and I couldn't find a replacement. I even tried to have a strap made but was told that it would be impossible to exactly match the caviar leather color and pattern of the bag and it wouldn't look good.

The original strap did snap together under the flap but I bought a Coach curb-chain strap for $15 during the recent online Coach Outlet sale and used that instead. It's not a perfect match because the bag has brushed gold hardware and the chain strap is shiny gold, but I think it looks okay and I am happy that it is a genuine Coach strap. The chain strap sat comfortably on my shoulder all day as I carried her around today.

Here are pictures of the curb-chain strap on my Gracie. It's funny that the strap costs more than 7 times as much as the bag even though it was only $15!

Wow what an awesome deal! Thanks for sharing. Yes I wish Coach would sell a chain strap in the brass color as well as whichever light gold or imitation gold color they sell now. But this looks great to me :) A clever solution!
