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. ...
There have been some really pretty purples being dropped lately! I really like Grape Mist and Atmospheric Purple, but other than the colors, nothing really caught my eye
ReplyDeleteI don't know for sure, but I think I agree that it looks like Twig. It really does contrast nicely with Atmospheric Purple!
I agree! I love both grape mist and atmospheric purple, but I don't see anything I'd like in those colors. Maybe the dance studio pants in atmospheric purple, but I'm not sure...
DeleteI really like twig! It does look like a twig colored vest in the last photo. I'm not usually someone who wears brown, but I'd consider twig. It looks like it has enough pinkish tone to it that I could match it with a lot of things. A heather version of it would be perfect!
I'm loving both Grape Mist and Atmospheric Purple as well! Very tempted to get another Wunder Puff Jacket in Grape Mist but the $50 price increase is putting me off.
DeleteIt does look like the model is wearing a Wunder Puff Cropped Jacket in Twig. I don't like the color on its own but it looks lovely pairing with Atmospheric Purple.
I've ordered the Rest and Restore Eye Mask and wonder if you're loving yours so far.

Hi Lola! Agree! Love all the purples. But Atmospheric combination with Twig really sells it.
DeleteHi Stacy - it really does look like a brown pink mauvey color. I love that. I already have a vest, but might consider getting it too or something else in that color.
Hi Andrea! Agree, the price increases definitely make me pause. I do really like the eye mask. I use it when I mainly travel! Not every night.
I'm not sure what I'm expecting, but I'm tired of the same color stories around this time of year. We get a pomegranate, a dark teal, a medium smokey purple, a pastel purple, etc. I love special edition holiday items, but they are always in the same color ways - just different enough that you can't mix and match a set from different years.
ReplyDeleteWe got the polka dot items in last night - Aligns (25" and 28"), Align Tank, Flow Y A/B Evolve, Define Jacket, and Wundermost LS. They are all really cute! The Aligns also had $98 on the tag - which surprised me. I thought they would be marked up.
Hi LZ! Yeah I get it. It's the same stuff recycled with different names. They really need to hire some new designers.
DeletePolka dot items soud interesting. I can't wait to see!
