In late 2012, we couldn’t help but get excited for the final season of the Gossip Girl TV series upon seeing Michelle Trachtenberg a.k.a the vicious “Georgina Sparks” filming scenes in New York.

The final season was an explosive one – not to mention expensive, with all the designer labels we got to see in the show!

She first appeared as the cruel, manipulative young socialite Georgina Sparks in “Desperately Seeking Serena,” the 15th episode of Gossip Girl that aired on April 28, 2008. Born on October 11, 1985, she turned 23 on October 11, 2008.

The EuroTrip actress was just 22-years-old when filming the first season in early 2008. Her final appearance was in “New York, I Love You XOXO,” the series finale of Gossip Girl that aired on December 17, 2012, when Michelle Trachtenberg was 27.

In November 2012, we spotted Michelle toting a Coach handbag… finishing off her simple outfit with cat-eye sunnies.

We have identified the handbag as a cognac Coach Legacy leather medium Candace carryall, which retails for about $398.

This functional handbag features roomy interiors that will fit your work/school essentials. It is crafted in classic Coach leather, so expect it to last a lifetime compared to its cheaper, or even more expensive, counterparts.

If you’re able to spend $398 on a timeless handbag that’s sturdy enough to cope with your hectic lifestyle, then the Coach Legacy leather medium Candace carryall is the perfect bag.

It comes in four different colors at Macy’s and Nordstrom:
