If you want something a little bigger but with the same look, try the Biltmore.
Which COACH bag are you carrying today?

This reminds me I need to wear mine too. I actually have too many orange bags! I love this bag but I always worry about if I'll need my hands free. I sort of wish it had a strap but I would never alter it.
I’m currently looking on eBay for a Gracie [emoji23] I’m not finding many currently so I will also look for Biltmore. I really like this style, reminds me of a Hermès Kelly ... is that why it’s named Gracie?!
Maybe? Although when I hear Gracie, I think of George Burns and Gracie Allen rather than Princess Grace.
Haha The leather looks so lovely and I really liked how it looked with the chain strap. I will have to set some notifications for new listings [emoji1]
I love Gracie, too - but she is tiny! I used her to carry my phone, comb, cash and a few cards, tissues, keys, and sunglasses - and that was all she could handle, and it was a tight fit.
I don't have a Biltmore, so I don't know, but it might be a better choice because it is a bit larger.
Thanks for the info! I do like small bags for the weekend and carry the essentials you mentioned (sometimes less [emoji23]) The Biltmore may work better for work, or even the larger one someone posted in the old Coach catalogue. I will be keeping my eyes open!! Thank you!
So cute.
Congrats! I like this bag. I have it in black. The blue and orange colors are more interesting. Enjoy.
I like all the cute little hang tags and tassels.
The large Italian Madison bag is the Copley, I recently posted a pic of that bag in the Butter color next to my Beechnut Gracie, see link below. The Copley is a nice, large bag and the Biltmore is the size in-between.

The brown Gracie color is Beechnut, and I didn't know that they made the Gramercy Zip in pale green - sounds lovely! Some of the vintage Italian bags came in Forest but that was a dark green.
I have a Gramercy Zip in black with a matching black wallet but I'd love a pale green vintage Italian coach bag. @whateve posted Gramercy catalog pics at the link below and the color is listed as "Powder Blue" but it looks light green to my eyes, is that the same color as your bag? How gorgeous!

I've been looking for a Gracie for a while now online. Most of them are pricey for used bags. It seems that because they don't have the regular turnlock the best deals people seem to get are at thrift stores, yard sales, etc when people don't realize it's Coach but I might be wrong. Most people selling online seem to be aware of how awesome the Italy bags are lol. I visit thrift stores often and I've only seen an authentic Coach once, but it wasn't a style I liked, so I'm so jealous of you ladies who find such awesome bags!
