I’ll be sharing my first impressions of this beauty-from the luxe craftsmanship to the buttery leather. Spoiler alert: this is one of those bags that’s guaranteed to age like fine wine.

Congratulations on your new purchase! I purchased the brown and I love it for work. The leather is fabulous, and it allows me to carry all of my work stuff.
Thank you! It is so convenient and soooo stylish! I love mine!
I got the 48 for a work/weekender bag. I love the how big it is, so glad it works for a guy too!! LOL. This bag is beautiful. At 6’4” it’s perfect. 🙂 😊😂. I also like your point about fast fashion. I have other Coach pieces that I’ve had for at least 20 years, and they have worn beautifully and still completely functional.
Wow! So you are the first and only person who's given me their feedback on the 48! I could definitely see myself having it and carrying is as a weekender. I thought I wouldn't carry the 40 as much- but I literally throw all my work stuff in there and use it throughout the day. It was one of my better purchases in 2024. 😊 Thank you so much for watching and chatting with me. 🩷
You did well with that one ☝🏾 😃. I’m on the waitlist for the Merlot myself I heard from another content creator that it may be released in more colors such as green, I would love to have one like that one as well.😊.
GREEN!!!??? that would be gorgeous 😳 and thank you so much for watching! Hope you come back again 💕
I love this bag. I have the navy one and I ordered the merlot yesterday. Coach knocked it out of the park❤
Knocked it all the way out the park!
The Neverful is made of coated canvas, which is why it is so light, but the straps are most certainly genuine cow leather.
Just got the Honey brown and it’s beautiful
Oooo 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 and the quality is top tier. I found a strap on Amazon and a couple of charms and it really made it extra special ✨
Mine (authentic) also has a smell inside!! I don't know what's going on because none of my other products have the smell of the luxrul bag. Called LV and they said it is normal and I can wipe the inside with a damp cloth. I thought the lining was suede but it's actually microfiber so I'm going to look for ways to remove the microfiber smell because the smell is keeping me from using it often.

My Navy was delivered the same day the Merlot was re-released so yes Ma'am I ordered it immediately! Keeping them and plan to make the most of both! BTW it was sold out again the same day. 😃
@@skysmyheart I’m so jealous!!! That navy is stunning! I’ve never owned a navy bag and that one is absolutely beautiful. But I’m loving the Merlot too. I just feel so put together when I carry it. What do you think about the size!?
@@thepinkelephantbyshanay22 The size is perfect. I bought an organizer that slipped in like a glove! "LEXSION" 15 inch. I'm 61 and have NEVER spent more then 80 dollars on a department store bag. It's never too late to find a new joy.
@@skysmyheart I love that for you! And may I "steal" this organizer 😂😂 cause now I want one! Thank you for sharing and watching my channel!
@@thepinkelephantbyshanay22 steal away! The organizer is in many colors and for the Empire 40 the size is the "slender large". Pop it out of one bag and into another without removing a single item from the organizer!
@@skysmyheart Thank you so much!!! I can't wait to get it. I'll make sure I come back here to let you know what I think! 💗
Great review. I am debating between merlot and navy!!
Totally Understandable!! The Navy is gorgeous! I wish I could afford both 😂 I love how ppl are styling the bags with charms. I'm going to attempt to make my own. Maybe I'll make a video of it. Thank you so much for watching!
I also am torn between this and the navy..I want to see it in person though- but they didn’t have any in store when I was there last
@@jennicolewilliams8220 I understand. I wish I could have both! Which one are you leaning towards 👀☺
@@thepinkelephantbyshanay22 honestly- I’m thinking the navy just because that’s my usual comfort color area….but everytime i see a new merlot video I’m like OOOHHHHH lol
I want to buy this bag but I work from home……😂😂😂 but I still want it in Brown, if I don’t pull the trigger by the end of the year, I’m gonna give it up.
I work from home too 🤣 so I know exactly what you mean. But I find myself carrying it when I want to work from other places like today I'm at the vet with my puppy so I put my macbook and notebook in my bag and it carried everything I needed comfortable. I also traveled with it for the first time last week and it was the perfect carryon/personal item for the trip. So I would definitely consider it if you like to carry a laptop around😄 Thank you for watching the episode! It means a lot!
This bag is beautiful, no doubt. But don't be fooled: that colour shift is not natural, nor is it due to stretching....it was artifically burnished to look like that. Enjoy the bag nonetheless. It will surely patina well over time.💗
I absolutely love the bag and its quality and characteristics! Thank you for watching.
Congratulations on your purchase. She is a beauty.
Im still on the fence., The Brooklyn bag is still on my radar.
Thank you!! What color are you thinking about getting in the Brooklyn!? I Love that bag too!
@thepinkelephantbyshanay22 I love a red bag, i can't resist them, they are my go-to, pop of color...This red is perfect fall red, it reminds me of the autumn leafs
@@hmcnatt1 It's so perfect!
@@thepinkelephantbyshanay22 i also on my fall 2024 list are the cassie 17 (red or navy) and the tabby 26 (pewter)
👀 bigger than wallet...lol
@@hmcnatt1 LOL You know you bout to make me go look them up! And I don't need to be looking at no more bags!😅
Thank you for sharing this video! ! I purchased the replica myself and I absolutely love it! luxrul I would never spend a fortune on a genuine item. I'd rather spend the rest of my money on vacation travel! ! But this is just my own choice and opinion
It’s gorgeous and I’m considering this bag but I am disappointed in the hang tang. They could have given their customers a little more detail and luxe on that tag.
It's so gorgeous! I'm finding myself carrying pretty much every day. I never noticed the and other tag styles with coach. All my bags tend to have understated tag. The one thing I do appreciate with this bag is that it's kinda been blank canvas for me to play with. I added my little doodle charm and rose charms and I even bought a leather black and white strap to add to the bag from amazon! It's made it so me. If you're looking for an affordable option and wide range of colors for leather straps check these out tr.ee/19en5x. 😊
My attention span is 10 minutes, video too long 😢
That's good to know. There should be video notes beneath the video that will help you skip ahead to the parts that interest you. If not, I'll be sure to add that on my lengthy videos. But I will keep this in mind. 🩷
