Went to my local boutique and looked/tried in person.The “soft” 40 and the 35 are not the same. Different leather, interior design and structure. As a result the 40 is soft and slouchy while 35 and smaller are more structured. I wish they had made the 35 similar to the 40. The 40 is not heavy either. I went with the 40 and I never buy Coach’s larger bags. I’m only 5’1” too so I was surprised how much the 40 appealed to me but once I understood the two sizes are not the comparable it made perfect sense.
I see the 40 and 48 are natural grain leather so they are less structured. The smaller sizes are more stiffy due to the glovetanned leather. Thanks for pointing that out. Appreciate it! ☺️
Yes @mauishopgirl thanks for explaining that I was wondering why the Empire 40 was called the soft carryall. I bought the black one today and I’m in LOVE 😍. It was the last one in the Coach store. 😅
I bought the empire 26 in maple 2 weeks ago, and I love it. It was the last one left in the store. Those larger ones are very cool but just too big for my lifestyle. It's so refreshing to see more bags outside of that quilted tabby that everyone already has.i would highly recommend the empire carry all for those of us who refuse to look like everyone else.
Hola Lena sorprendida de nuevo excelente tu video quería saber sobre esa cartera y me ayudaste a decidirme me gustó muchísimo la marrón chocolate es hermosa Gracias y de nuevo felicitaciones hasta la próxima
I love Marc Jacobs totes, but this bag is a stunner 😍 Think about what do you want it for, make a list of pros and cons, give it some thought and then make your decision.
I went to my local boutique to check it out after hearing all the hype. I tried on the 40 and the 35. The 35 has a divider which was a deal breaker for me. The 40 overwhelmed my size; it seemed comically large, like it was trying hard to play into the big bag trend. Overall, I was not impressed at all. I’ll pass, but hope everyone who wants one gets one
I was fortunate enough to get the Empire Carryall 40 in the Merlot color. It’s stunning and I do like the leather on it a little better than the smaller sizes. The 48 and 40 leather is different. It has a leash clips inside so I can attach my keys and it has feet which I love on a purse. If you can find it get it!

The 40 is perfect for traveling, totally agree with you. Coach is going strong with the latest releases 🤩

Hi Lena. I haven’t seen this bag in person but I think it’s a beautiful bag. If I didn’t all ready own the Margaux I would consider buying this bag.
Indeed. This bag is beautiful. Thanks for watching!
All the coach bags I have are still in great shape ❤ enjoyed your review thanks ❤
Thanks for watching!

Gracias! Me alegra que te haya gustado! Feliz fin de semana!
Thanks for the video, I plan on getting this bag in 35 in the Maple. THanks for sharing!!!
Good choice! That’s my fave 🫶🏼 have the best weekend
Just fyi the 35 has a permanent pocket in the middle. The 40 does not. Just something to keep in mind. I bought both.
Good to know!!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Never thought I’d buy a Coach again in my life 😮
I was about to order a Marc Jacobs, but now I don’t know 😮😮😮

@@Chicandstylishbylena Great idea. Will do!
😉
Been waiting for a thorough review. Thinking to buy the 26 size🤔 I’m afraid the 35 size is to heavy for me . Thank you for sharing
26 is a great size for everyday IMO. The 35 is going to be a little heavy, specially when you filled up. Thanks for watching! Have the best weekend 😊
Did you mention the 48 size? Sorry if I missed it. That's the runway size and it is absolutely beautiful. My new work bag 😊
That one is softer because of the softer leather. Such a beautiful piece, specially for traveling IMO. Thanks for watching!
Name numbers equal length in cm, so 48 is 48 cm or 18.9 inches long (18,75 inches x 13.75 x 7 on Coach website)

It is a beautiful bag . Is it worth almost $900 Cad. no I don't think so , not for a Coach bag .
A chunk of money for sure
I wish it was zipper top.

Wow!!! What a score!! Congrats on your bag 🎉🫶🏼 I would love the maple or the Merlot ☺️ stunning!!!
@@Chicandstylishbylena Thanks! The Maple is beautiful. New subscriber to your channel! 🩷
Thanks 😊
for me it over price Gym bag the rouge 39 in maple is so much better it like coach heart bag is all over not it on sale so just wait
Good point!
The rouge is nice, as well!
Yes!
In my opinion they should've made the 26 and 35 in Merlot and they would've sold out.
Right? That color is stunning! Love it 😍
To be honest with you, I really don’t understand why people crazy about this bag… I don’t see any charming point…😢
Those dimensions don't make sense, 35 is bigger than 40.
35 cm is equal to 13.78 inches not 16.5, somebody at Coach f'd up.
Agreed!
