Kate Spade reinvents the classic quilted flap bag for the space age with her Gold Coast Evangeline shoulder bag.
This purse takes its cues from the classic designs of Chanel, with its turn-lock clasp, front flap, quilting and chain handle. But Kate Spade has tweaked a few of these elements to give her purse individuality and edge. The pyramid turn-lock is stunning, and I love the point of difference that the vertical quilting brings. The metallic finish is the cherry on top. The platinum is a little too glitzy for my taste, as I think it makes the leather body appear a bit cheap. However, I appreciate its uniqueness. You won’t find a Chanel purse with such shine after all!
The Gold Coast Evangeline’s slender design makes it look very chic, but it does limit storage space a bit. You won’t be carrying fat novels inside it, but with some careful packing it should hold everything you really need it to. And with its leather reinforced pockets, it’ll keep those essentials organized too.
I’m not sure Kate Spade has improved on the classics with the Gold Coast Evangeline, but if you love glitz I’m sure you’ll appreciate Kate Spade’s design vision.
