I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...
I think it's only this model, and I've noticed it too! She has wider hips (only by model standards!) so they make her stand akimbo like that to try and mask it, I guess? They also threw her in some size 2 speeds (electric coral) on the US site just to make the whole look even weirder....
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, I see what you mean. Just looked at her in the speed shorts. Definitely odd.
DeleteI noticed that too, she has a bit of a wide stance and super slim legs 😉 over in Switzerland we got black cherry brushed speeds. I may have to pull the trigger 😊 especially since I returned my Dottie tribe pace rivals (from WMTM, we can return here due to a law). The pace rivals just don't fit me at all, overall too big and the mesh was uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! super lucky that you can return WMTM! That's amazing. Yeah I've tried on the pace rivals and they are always too big on me with the ankles flaring out and too long. Such a shame because I really wanted a pair in the herringbone last year. BTW I keep wanting to ask, how did you end up liking the Define Jacket in the fuchsia teeny tooth?
DeleteI absolutely love the Define! It's even nicer in person 😁 yep it's a bummer for the pace rivals as I really miss the inspire crops. Spoiler alert: I ordered the black cherry brushed speeds today 😁
DeleteOOOOH let me know how you like the brushed speeds. They sound lovely!
