    Hey 👋
    I just learned about the E40 a few days ago (I'm not on TikTok) and I'm obsessed! Learning more about it has literally *consumed* me 😫, so you've been appearing on my FYP so I finally tuned in. I'm happy that I did! Anyway, once my obsession kicked in and I decided to purchase (waiting for my preferred color to restock), and saw Isa's video after she traveled with it, I began searching specifically for content about how it performs in-flight, but without any luck! Then I clicked on the second ever video of yours that I've watched and VOILÀ. Thank you so much. While I'd hoped to be able to take her through the airport and above the clouds, I've still got to have it ~ no question about it...
    The gag is that I haven't been a Coach lover but their most recent girlie's have me in a chockhold.
    I'm blabbering now, but you have a new subbie simply because of this video! Thanks and be well 🌹

      @@bluespagirl1 thank you VERY MUCH for watching my videos, commenting and subbing. I sincerely appreciate it. Now since I did this video a lot of people recommended traveling with the dust bag. Putting the bag in the dust bag before putting it in the TSA tray and again when placing it under the seat on the plane. So it CAN be done. I have other options so I don’t know that I will but it IS possible. Some folks have said it fit well under the seat for them. Especially the middle seat. I am someone who just doesn’t like crushing the bag. And it was so new at the time I didn’t wanna cause too much damage. Now this bag as a work tote! 😍 Or as a tote bag for the day! It’s still a phenomenal bag to me but I would travel with something else. Thank you again for watching and letting me know you stopped by. 🩷💕🩷

      Love your personality & totally subbed when I left my comment!! Questions: do you have recommendations for a stylish travel bag? Also do you have a Hermes Kelly or do you have the Lalage Beaumont Maya bag? I just learned about the Maya and am really interested in it (I love the mini Kelly but it doesn't look practical enough to justify the price) but just started looking into reviews! I prefer reviews from bag connoisseurs like yourself who can compare it to other bags and give feedback on usefulness! 💁🏿‍♀️ If you have it I will refer to your videos (please forgive me if you have a video, I haven't had a chance to watch your full video catalog yet)!!

      @ I don’t have any Hermes in my collection, YET! And this is my first hearing of the Lalage Beaumont so I went to look it up and they look gorgeous!!! I’m all about trying more cost effective options before acquiring a pricey bag because I know I want it to be a bag I would reach for. Especially a special silhouette or unique bag that isn’t an everyday bag. As far as travel bags I am a tote girl but those can get heavy. My favorite one right now is the Brahmin Landmark tote. The straps are wider than my Neverfull. And it’s super light because of the fabrication. Now that I’m getting older though I am thinking of a good backpack option. I just haven’t found one yet.
      I appreciate you subbing and commenting. It’s sincerely appreciated!!! 🥰

    I love all three of my Empire 40’s. I have Navy, Merlot and Honey. I had not got a Coach bag in years because they had went down in quality. All of my bags were legacy bags from 90’s and early 2000’s. I got these bags and wasn’t disappointed. Don’t think I’m going to go back to Coach forever, but I do love these bags. If the 48 is ever restocked I’ll get it and hopefully they make it in all the colors. I think they would be a nice travel duo situation. I’d also definitely have a dust bag for travel situations. Not the silky one that it comes with but something more sturdy. Would never put my bag on the floor of an airplane floor with no coverage or any place dirty. That includes when laying it in the tray for security. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Great video! You are so creative with that zipper pull. It looks really good! You have inspired me to wear this bag today. Also I want that colored chain you have on yours too. Also when traveling with my YSL ICARE I usually will bring the dustbag with me and put on the dustbag going through security and when I am jamming it under the seat in front of me. I agree that the Empire, while soft, is probably not the best travel bag

    What I would recommend as far as air travel would be to tuck inside your bag a dust bag. When you sit down in your seat put your bag in the dust bag and put it under the seat or in the over head bin compartment. Honestly, the bag will look better with scratches and wear in the long run. So use your bag without fear.

    Great review! Suggestion: Take the dust bag with you when you fly. Put it on the bag to go thru TSA and when stowed on the plain. Then, wash the dust bag when you get home. It will at least protect it from scratches and other people touching it. I would lay it flat under the seat in front of me, since it has a zipper and you don't have to worry about anything falling out, plus its tied up in the dust bag.

    Hey Liz. Thanks for following up on how this bag has worked for you and how you fixed your zipper pull. I was wondering how that worked out. The gist I got is that Ms. Empire needs her own seat on the plane, lol! I can see all the things you mentioned bothering me and so I agree that she's not the best for travel. I keep a dust-bag handy for plane travel, especially, but even that wouldn't help prevent structural damage for a bag of this size. I honestly still cringe even with the dust-bags being on the floor and those TSA totes - YUCK! All that said, that bag is still so beautiful and I love the slouch that's developing.
