It’s a beautiful bag!!! The leather is sooooooo beautiful, I would def be afraid to travel with it. Thank you for the update!!❤❤❤❤
@@mckeevamonroe thanks for watching. I appreciate you!!! It’s gonna have to be my brunch/officr bag moving forward. But a great excuse to buy another bag for travel. 😆
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. 🩷💕🩷
BTW, what color are you waiting for?
@NothingButBags 💜
@NothingButBags MERLOT MERLOT MERLOT, darling! Ugh! Stalking everywhere, heard rumblings of a February release! I blame *you* for my color preference, btw 😆
Waiting for your next video. Be well 🌹
Thank you SO MUCH. Your video was super helpful and gave me things to consider when getting a travel bag! I think I will get it as a work bag!
@@ajm935 yay!!!! So glad you enjoyed it and got something from it. I love this bag. I think it’s such a big girl bag and great for work. It can be used for travel but for me I think work is a more comfortable carry. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 💕🩷💕 Thanks for commenting.
@@NothingButBags Sold!!! I just bought the 40- your review was what sold me on it!!!
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!!! 🥰
That bag is gorgeous and definitely a work bag, it’s huge! I love how you styled it! The top handles and the all leather is gorgeous. I agree it will get better with time. It might be nice to get a thick dust bag from the outlet to put on it during travel. Tfs 💕
@@RobinCookie that’s what most comments are telling me to do. I have heard people travel with dust bags to keep their bags safer while traveling. I am definitely gonna go grab one when I can. Thank you for watching Robin!!! 🩷🍪🩷
Thanks for the mention and recommending my video Liz ❤ I agree 100% with everything you said. I'll check out those channels you mentioned. Love the charms and the chain you put on this bag, so pretty 😍
@@AisafromAsia thanks Aisa!!! I appreciate you my friend!!! 💞💞💞
I love that you did this follow up video! I sadly, didn’t keep mine. It was just too big for me and I knew that. But…but….and you’re the second person to know….I may or may not have finally found the perfect one for me. I hope to share soon!
“I don’t think that’s her ministry.” 😂😂😂 I just adore you!!!
@@WhatLeslyeLoves I adore you RIGHT back Leslye!!! ❤️ I can not WAIT to see what you found. I love following your search for the perfect tote. It’s so fun. And I learn so much that helps me pick mine.
@@NothingButBags I can’t wait to share 😘
I honestly love watching you and you made me chuckle when you said it’s illegal to walk around with no clothes on 😂 that is such a “me” comment. Keep the videos coming, you are a delight to watch!
@@diahannw thank you so much!!!! ☺️ I appreciate you for watching and commenting. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. 🩷🩷🩷
"The two-month review video was great! Thanks for sharing such a detailed experience with the Coach Empire 40. The product's performance and your personal opinion are really helpful. The video will be a great guideline for those interested in buying it. 👌😊"
@@ritechnology0 thank you SO MUCH!!! I appreciate you and the feedback!! 💞💞💞
This was a great review and update. The bag is gorgeous. I saw Asia's video on her travel experience with it as well. It was good to hear your review and thoughts. This will be helpful to those who are thinking of purchasing for various reasons. TFS
@@djking247 thanks for watching DJ!! I appreciate you. I’ve seen some videos of people who regret buying this bag so hopefully someone considering it will know the ups and downs before adding this one. 🩷🩷🩷
I learned the hard way too, Liz. Now my air travel personal item is good quality nylon. Your Coach Empire is a gorgeous work & pleasure bag for you, your friends, & your co-workers to enjoy.😍🌻
@@lindap7719 thanks Linda. Yes, I think a Longchamp or something similar in that nylon is DEFINITELY a better travel companion.
Hey Sis 👋🏾 This was such an excellent review on your Beautiful! I enjoyed this! Very informative! Thanks for Sharing this and I'm sure those who have this bag will appreciate this! 🫶🏾🥰
@@SimplyDee9301 thanks Dee. I’m definitely gonna look for review videos when I consider buying a new bag moving forward. Need to know how people feel after they’ve carried it and the newness wore off. That’s one thing I love about your bags. You know what you like and when you buy a bag you enjoy it. 🩷🩷🩷
Nice update Liz! I love the way you keep it 💯 with us. I have an issue with loving the look and function of larger handbags and forgetting that they are not a good carry for me and my weak shoulders. 😂 TFS your Empire is gorgeous ! 💕💕💕
@@JustBeingWanda yes!!! It’s a love/hate relationship. More love than hate though. It’s a good shoulder carry, the strap is good but it does change the overall look. I do love her though. She just can’t be used for everything for me. Which is good cuz I can use one of my other bags for those activities. 🤭
Hi Liz!! Thanks so much for the update!! I have this bag too and love it!! I've been using it for work. I totally agree with everything you said!! Love the way you decorated the bag too! Thanks for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰
@@Mirella_MtOlympia yay!!! Thank you so much for watching. And for the compliment. I had that chain for awhile and felt I couldn’t use it because of the hardware. And this bag just came in clutch. It is perfect on that bag to me. ☺️
TFS!!!!! Hey sis thanks for the update. This is a beautiful bag and it's good to know how this bags works for different occasions. Enjoy💚
@@Minnieshandbags thanks for watching Minnie. I appreciate you!!! 🩷🩷🩷
Beautiful bag! Thanks for all the helpful tips and uses for this bag! Our viewers really needed this. I like how you don’t carry much in your big bag. This helps with the weight. I do this with my large Rowans. Yes, definitely a road trip bag.😊
@@contentwithcandace thanks Candace!!! I appreciate you my friend. Yes I think our follow up videos are more helpful than the unboxing cuz it shows how we feel after actually using it. 🌻
@ exactly! You would think these videos would be more popular than unboxing videos, but unboxing videos are more popular. I guess because of the thrill of a new bag. 😊
Thank you for doing this update video Liz! This is a bag I contemplated back and forth on getting but figured it’s a little too big for me and thought about it for if we were to travel, but didn’t even think of the wear it could get. So thank you for updating us on this! The way you accessorized your bag is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
@@LuxLover_Karolina thank you Karolina. It’s definitely a big bag but I think it’s a really good work and travel bag. It would definitely be my next bag for a road trip. I appreciate for watching!!! ☺️🩷🩷🩷
Thank you so much for the update, Liz. I am glad you did this. I did see Aisa's update. I was disappointed for her because she was so excited to use the Empire for a travel bag. I was glad she gave us an update because I was considering it for travel, but you are right; you need to be aware that if you use it to take a flight, scratches could be the consequences. I am so glad you both gave us some ideas for use from your own experiences. I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. 😁❤Tfs
@@joeltwo21 I did, and I hope you did as well. I’m definitely going to be more into review videos than unboxings so I can see how these bags are after the initial excitement. I appreciate you for watching and commenting. Thank you!!! ☺️
Great video. I like how you explained how this bag and other bags are just for lunch or a work day that’s not be carried all day. Because I have bags just for that. I also enjoyed the video and such a great idea on unboxing bags and come back and tell how the bag carry. Tfs😊😊
@@dooneygirl75 thank you!!! I appreciate you for watching and commenting. That’s one of the things I LOVE about bags. Having them fill different activities and selecting which ones to carry where. I just love handbags!!! ☺️
I wish Coach would bring that multi color chain back this is so pretty
@@tennillelatimore9625 well they released this one and then the pastel so maybe they will release another style. Or bring it back in the Spring. When I first got it I didn’t even want it cuz I didn’t have a Coach bag with gold hardware to match it too. And then I found my Empire. ☺️
Oh, and I second that your unboxing and first impression of this bag/video was 1000% deserved. It was my favorite!!!
@@WhatLeslyeLoves thank you!!! ☺️ I am gonna start watching reviews of people who have used their bags from now on before purchasing. Along with unboxings. They can really be beneficial.
@ same!!! I feel like I need to know before….although, I think the people count on you to help with the vetting process 😅. This is your ministry now, girl! 🩶
Hey Liz! Great review! I have carried my Empire bag for work for the most part. It is a great “day to date” bag and it is such a stunner! Honestly, I think it loses some of the “magic” in the smaller sizes! The size 40 is the star of the line, in my humble opinion! Thanks for the update, Friend!🥰
@@Iamlawandabyrd thanks for watching my friend!!! It’s absolutely a stunner. And I’m so glad we both snatched one up. ☺️
Hi Liz, I just saw this bag in store for the first time yesterday. I was surprised by how light it is. Of course I tried it on empty, I’m sure once you fill it up it will be hella heavy. The leather is so soft. Great video! I hope this one gets 20k views also. You deserve all the love in the world. ❤
@@MelissaAdams-Wade thank you SO much my friend. I appreciate you. It’s definitely a beautiful bag. I think those of us that love bags understand different bags serve different purposes. I hope anyone considering adding this one that they get some useful information from it. 🩷🩷🩷
Hi Liz, great video, unboxings are fun and I'm thrilled that your video did so well ❤️ but a review after a couple of months of use is so worthwhile for those who are still considering to buy the bag at this moment in time. I love how you have already made this bag yours and hope you will keep on enjoying it!
@@loyayyay thank you so much!!! I am definitely going to look for review videos next time I see a bag I can’t resist as much as unboxings.
Love your review! Watched your first video and your energy is amazing! Definitely subscribed. Just ordered this bag in Honey Brown and cannot wait for her to arrive! Gotta get her styled up and such! When you said “cause my bag needs somewhere to sit!”….😂😂LOVE!
And definitely getting a dust bag to cover her because we got some traveling to do! ✈️
@@JLincoln_2025 thank you for watching and subbing. And for your gift to my channel. I SO appreciate you!!! You’re my first one!! 🥰 I love the new honey color SOOO MUCH!!! I am absolutely gonna grab something in that color even if it’s just SLG’s. Please come back and tell me what you think when you get it!!! 🩷🩷🩷
Loved this update and video! This is one of my favorites from Coach so I couldn't click on it fast enough. I traveled with this bag but like you said, I had the middle seat and she fit perfectly. It also worked for me on the aisle seat but I turned it a certain way so she would fit but I can also see it being a tight fit for anyone that wants a window seat. I've used her running errands and she does get heavy but she's so darn cute that I didn't care lol.
As always, sooo appreciate your shout-out and congrats on so many views for your unboxing video!
@@classyhandbags thank you!!! I am super glad you were able to travel with yours. I wish that had been my experience but it may just be that I use it for other things. Cuz as you said it’s so cute that I will make a way to use it. Thank you for watching. I appreciate you. 🩷
@@NothingButBags ❤
Liz thanks so much for doing this update video. With me LOVING COACH as much as I do, this was one bag I had to work hard to resist. Being that I don’t carry too handles often, it saved me. I will definitely agree she is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! You deserve all the views you got on this video because she is dressed to impress. I remember Asia talking about carrying this bag on an upcoming trip when she unboxed, but I didn’t see the travel video. I need to go check it out. I’ve just started going back and doing updates…..they are so helpful! I appreciate the video and it was wonderful as always! TFS🩷💕✨
@@DazzleMe77 yes it updates have to be helpful cuz I wouldn’t know that a bag I’m considering won’t work unless someone who has it lets me know. Hopefully anyone considering it will take not just how fly it is into consideration but also what ways it works best. I appreciate you Sis!!! 💞💞💞
Liz this video was very thorough! I appreciate the update. TFS🤗
@@moknowsbeauty thanks Mo!!! ☺️🩷🩷🩷
I really love this bag, and it’s been working great for me too. This was a super helpful update, especially since I was planning to take it on a flight soon 🤦🏽♀️ Glad I caught this before making that move!
@@foreverebony yay!!! I’m so glad this helped in time. It’s a great bag. Just doesn’t work on a flight unless you’re flying private. 🤣 Thanks for watching Ebony!!! I appreciate you. 💞💞💞
Hi!
I bought my Empire 40 in black for myself for Christmas. I traveled with my Empire 40 on a plane a few weeks ago and it faired well under the seat - I was in the middle seat going and window coming back. No scratches, yet I just cleaned it with leather conditioner after watching your video and it looks better. You do a great job. Thanks for sharing all of your insight.
@ thank you for watching. I appreciate you. I definitely think if I had the middle seat it would have been a different experience for me. But I’m glad I did the video cuz I got a LOT of helpful recommendations when traveling with it moving forward. I’m gonna get a dust bag from Coach Outlet cuz they are 10x better than the boutique. And that will be my traveling essential moving forward. ☺️
100%, everything you said. I was in mine for like 3 weeks straight when I got it, and I wouldn’t take it on a plane either. Otherwise, though, it’s such a great bag. I even wore mine on a hike with the crossbody strap and it did great. I’m looking forward to it getting beat up (naturally, we’re not taking sandpaper to our bags over here). I also have the navy and that pride chain just looks so good on it. That was also the first of your videos that popped up in my feed and I’m glad it did!
@@joecarroll8286 thank you SOOOO MUCH!!! I appreciate you. Yeah I also can’t wait til it gets even softer and more lived in. I love this bag so much. Have you seen that new brown color they recently released?
@@NothingButBagsI did! It looks really nice, but I wish it was more burnished. As pretty as it is, I can’t see myself reaching for it over the navy. But I did pick up a Brooklyn 39 in that new Sage color (a week after I finally picked one up in the Dark Ruby. Sorry wallet 💸💸💸).
@ Coach just wants our money. All of it! 🤣 I agree that new honey color should have burnished edges. That would have been fire!!!!
Thanks so much for this video!!! I just got my bag on 1/15, and I love it! Such a beautiful bag ❤ I love your charms!
@@Cindy_Lulu_Ava yay!!! I’m so glad you got one. I hope you absolutely LOVE it!!! I appreciate you watching my video and commenting so I know you stopped by!!! ♥️🩷♥️
@ of course!! I appreciate you making the video as it was very helpful 🩷 I love how roomy the bag is! Plenty of space for my stuff and the furbaby accessories 🐶🥰 Now, I need to find the Honey Brown color in stock!! Have a wonderful weekend!
I have this bag in the merlot. I love it. I traveled for work and took it with me and I got it a bit scratched too. I used Chamberlain’s Leather milk healing balm on it and the scratches are almost gone. I will travel with this bag again but I will bring the dust bag with it to protect it before I lay it on its side to put under the seat.
@@ItsTooLatetoApologize yes!!! I think the dust bag is a must when traveling. You know the outlet dust bags are more substantial than the boutique. Just an FYI. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you!! 🩷🩷🩷
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.
@@patienceISavirtue75 I love that you have the bag in more than one color!!!! All 3 that you have are absolutely beautiful!!! If I had more room for storing my bags I would have loved to add the blue as well. The Coach outlets are said to have some nice thick Coach dust bags if you have one near you. They would be good for travel and I plan to get one for mine. I appreciate you not just watching my video but especially because you also commented so I know you stopped by. Thank you very much!!!! 🩷🩷🩷
@ You’re welcome. Love your content!!!
Thanks for this video! No one ever tells you how the bags wear. You have convinced me to get the navy. I can’t wait ❤
@ YAY!!!!! Please come back and let me know what you think when you get it!!!! The navy is SOOOO good!!!! 😋
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
@@whatimontoday yes!!! I’ve had a couple people say the dust bag is a must when traveling. I had that chain strap for MONTHS and regretted buying it cuz I didn’t have a bag with gold hardware to match it. And then the empire came along. She’s definitely a beauty. Like me she just doesn’t go with everything. 🤣
Thank you for this honest review. I just received mine, and baby I get in & out of my car regularly. I was considering to use her as my travel personal item, and work bag.
@@Dynysis definitely try it for any reason and see if it works for you. I absolutely love this bag but find it’s better for me as a work bag. Fortunately I have other options for travel that are easier for me. I’ve had several comments from people that find this is an excellent travel bag. I appreciate you so much for watching and for commenting. What color did you get? ☺️
@NothingButBags The Honey and then ordered the Navy 2 days later when it restocked. The Honey's color is luxurious and enveloping. I think it would attract & show dirt and that makes me nervous. I'm waiting for the Navy to arrive to actually try it out for a day or 2. I usually travel with a backpack and I love it.
Btw: Thanks for recommendation Classic Handbags channel
@ that honey color is EVERYTHING!!!!!! 😱 I just love that color so much. And of course on the recommendation of Classic Handbags. I love her channel so much. 😁🩷
@@NothingButBags Baby it was no small feat. I tracked her DOWN!
Oh, first time seing your channel and I fall in love with your video. I love bags, too.😊😊😊😊
@@carollolababy yay!!!! Thank you!!! I appreciate you for watching and especially for commenting so I know you stopped by. Happy Holidays! 🎄♥️☃️♥️
Great update video! This bag is so beautiful I wouldn't dare take her on the plane for fear of scratches. I really need to see this one in person. Love your camo wallet! Wait until you see my carry this week. Enjoyed the video sis ❤
@@momambition ooooooh!!!! I’m so excited 😆! Are you looking at the Camo pieces released recently? Like the Tabby or the Rogue?
@NothingButBags No because I just bought the city tote!!! Pics posted in a few.
@ I saw the pics. Gorgeous!!!! I wish the Rogue had come in pebbled leather. I love my Rogue and that one would have been so good in that camo. Can’t wait for the video cuz I KNOW you’re gonna give us one. ☺️
@@NothingButBags Oh yes! Video coming soon. I agree the camo Roque would be much better in pebbled leather.
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.
@@la7018 thank you for watching and especially for the recommendations. You are ABSOLUTELY right. The bags are supposed to wear over time. That’s actually a feature of this bag based on what I’m told. Some other folks also suggested the dust bag for travel as well. It would definitely help with TSA trays. I think at the time it was so new to me I felt bad about having to squish it under that seat. Thanks again for watching my video and commenting. I appreciate it. 🩷💕🩷
It’s the real life usage review! I have a friend I’ve sent this video too to help her pic a Christmas gift. Thanks for sharing!
@@mrsbluxlife thank you for watching & sharing the video. I appreciate you!!! 🩷
I love my empire 40! I’ve taken it to the office and on road trips. I would actually be comfortable taking it on a plane as I’m looking forward to it getting beat up and worn in!
@@lees2268 I got a lot of great recommendations on how to better travel with this on flights. Like bringing my dust bag with me. I still think this will be my office and road trip bag more than flights but I’m glad I got so many suggestions to help if I do. Thank you so much for watching. We are definitely members of the Empire 40 Fan Club. ☺️
I always condition my leather bags before carrying the bags. I TOTALLY agree with you, certain bags are good certain things, such as for travel, work, lunch, dinner, etc. Today's leather bags are not as good as the old school leather bags. Great video.
@@shannonbetts8230 soooo true!!!! OMG! Brands have raised their prices and invested less in parts and raw goods. The quality has gone down while the prices have gone up. It’s nothing like a good quality leather bag. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate you so much!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Great review! I have this bag in merlot, and I agree with everything you said. I watched Aisa's video also, and I was hoping that she didn't travel with it. I took it out for the first time last month, and it can get very heavy. Definitely a bag for being stationary and sitting pretty! LOL!
@@SimplyMarquise yes!!!! 😂 Sitting pretty. It’s DEFINITELY gonna be a goin to the office bag for sure. I usually take my work bag in and out that’s it. If I go grab lunch or run an errand I don’t take my work tote. So it’s a perfect work bag for me. And possibly a road trip travel bag too. It’s definitely designed to be cute. And I LOVE the Merlot color!!!!! ♥️
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.
@@zmiller6220 good idea. That is the best suggestion and what most people have said. I’m going to get the super thick one from the Coach Outlet cuz it’s much nicer. Thank you so much for watching my video!!!! I really appreciate you. And especially for commenting.
@@NothingButBags Thanks for commenting even tho it seems you'd been given this suggestion already multiple times! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@zmiller6220 I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you. And Happy Holidays. ☃️
Oh how I love that bag. I have the same the same charms. Along with the pretzel because I’m from Brooklyn.
@@miag6211 love that!! I wanted the pretzel too. But I refuse to give Coach all my money. No matter how good the stuff is they keep dropping. I’m not falling for it. 🤣
Oh my goodness! This is my dream bag! Maybe one day....
@@janicedelong7900 oh definitely!!! Handbag dreams do come true!!! Thanks for watching. I appreciate you ☺️🩷🩷🩷
I would recommend if you want to use the bag for travel you take the dust bag with you. Cover it when you have to store it over head or under the seat. Something i have done for years, even with my leather backpacks.
@@trfrierson I’m glad I did this because that has been the most consistent piece of advice. Having traveled with my Neverfull so long I got spoiled. I will definitely be using my dust bag moving forward. Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate you!! 💞💞💞
Thank you for this! I have this bag in the merlot and burnished edges for about 3 months and I love it! It’s now getting that soft and worn edge to it! But I agree I don’t think I can use this as a carry on smh when I travel by plane
@@faizasusan5865 the Merlot is such a rich and gorgeous color. The softness of these bags are EVERYTHING!! Thanks for watching!!! I appreciate you!!! 🩷🩷🩷
Hi 👋 Liz, I’m glad your enjoying it and now you know how to use it perfect. TFS 🛍️👛🚢🙏🦆
@@DeeDee_Bean thanks Dee Dee!!! Oh yes, it wasn’t what I expected but I still love it. That happens I guess, bags don’t always fit your expected purpose but you love them so much you don’t care. 🤭
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. Use her when you can, comfortably!
@@TheHopefulminimalist exactly!!! She is definitely not the girl for every event but when she’s right, she’s right!!! It just isn’t a travel bag for me unless it’s a road trip. I can’t wait til she gets softer and softer. Thanks for watching Sabrina!! I appreciate you. 🩷🩷🩷

Thank you such much for this! I was just saying there are so many unboxing without updates. The people want to know how the bag is working out considering many buy b/c of you alls initial reactions
@@tiaranesbitt2904 I agree. It’s important to come back and offer an experience after use and after the initial excitement has worn off. Thank you for watching. And commenting. I appreciate it!!! 🩷
I really love this design from Coach, it looks so classic, understated, but still trendy right now. Would definitely see it being a great work and travel/road trip bag. Although I agree I would not want to shove it under a seat in front of me. Maybe if you book a seat with extra legroom or something. And maybe bring a dustbag to protect it in or something. It would make me so sad to put it (or any bag tbh) into an airport tray or on the ground 🥲
@@la_wandereuse yes!!! The Empire DEFINITELY made me learn some lessons about how to travel with my bags. Problems I never knew would come up. Thanks for watching Bestie!!! 💞💞💞
I was able to stick it under the seat on my united flight in October. Didn’t have to squish it down or anything and the handles were up. I think it just depends on the plane but I’m definitely using it for travel too
@@C3linaLov3sMusic I’m sure it’s the plane size. It feels like the storage space in planes has reduced over the years. And it was a Southwest flight too. I’m so glad you’re able to use yours for travel. I don’t think I will carry mine again on a flight but if I do I will definitely take my dust bag with me. Thank you for watching!! I appreciate you!!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
@ the dust bag is a great idea and I don’t mind the scuffs as much. And thank you for uploading your review it was great!
So cutsy!! You are a delight:) And greatly appreciate your insightful review _/\_
@@lesliealanlcsw thank you SO much!!! I really appreciate you watching. And especially for commenting so I know you stopped by. ♥️♥️♥️
I would not put her on a plane UNLESS I put her dust cover on her. I would use a pebbled lever bag for travel. I have the honey brown and I agree with you 100%.
@@pamelaebarnes that honey brown Empire is SOOOOO good!!! If I had waited on this bag I absolutely would have gotten that color. I need to get myself a dust bag from the outlet too cuz theirs are so much thicker than the boutique. Thank you for watching Pamela!!! I appreciate you! ☺️🩷🩷🩷
@NothingButBags I'm so glad I found your channel!
@ me too! 😍
I’m loving your shirt 🩷
@@SuzWhat thanks Suz!!! From one dope chic to another. ❤️
Did you think about just getting a brass jump ring to replace the broken zipper pull? its super easy, if not a local cobbler can do it cheap.
@@hannahwilliams4018 I didn’t!!!! Thanks for that. I will look into both of those options. I wish I had you when the zipper pull came off. 🤭 Thank you for watching my video and for both suggestions. Im gonna check on both of those. 🩷🩷🩷
Thanks for the video. Where did you get the colorful purse chain from?
@@haitianchik82 thank you for watching!!! It’s a Coach chain strap. It came in that colorway and a pastel colorway as well. Not sure if it’s still available though. 🩷
After hearing your review, I think I would take the dust bag with me to put the empire in before putting it under the seat. Do you think that would work? I would have been so disappointed if my bag was scratched up from putting it under the seat.
@@lesmcguire2011 I definitely think I need to bring my dust bags with me from now on. And get the middle seat. 🤭 I think both would help a lot with protecting the bag more.
Girl you are hilarious 😂😂💓💓💓
@@legalgirl1313 ☺️🩷♥️🩷 thank you!!!!
Isn’t the scratches part of the distressing.
@@la7018 it is. I watched a really good video on TikTok when I first got it and the girl purposely distressed her with some kind of a file. It turned out beautifully. I think I felt bad at first cuz the bag was almost brand new at the time. But wear and tear adds character. I’ve definitely relaxed about it now. Thank you again for watching. I appreciate you! 💕🩷
I think she needs her own seat the plane 💺🛩️. 😂😊. I’ve been waiting for the 48 in brass and maple to become available. It’d make the perfect duffle or weekender. Great video . . . Thanks for the update.
@@MichaelTriplett1981 now a 40!!!! OMG!!! Have you seen the honey color?!?! 🤤 An EXCELLENT weekender size bag!!!!
@ I didn’t notice the honey color! It’s only going to get better with age. I think you changed my mind lol. 🤪💸
@ 🤭 IKR?!?! They are all just SOOOOO GOOD!
