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. ...
You’re right about the lame drop. I’m still no buy all year and it’s been very easy. I also realize I wear the same thing and whatever is on top of my drawers . I own so much clothes. Many have never seen daylight 🤦🏻♀️
ReplyDeleteGood lawd
Hi there! I need to try a no buy all year! It sounds amazing. Maybe consider a closet clean out? I'm always trying to get rid of things I no longer wear.
DeleteI have a niece who is close to my size. I plan on gifting her big bag for her 16th bday ❤️
DeleteIt feels so good saving money
That's a so cool, what a lucky niece!!
DeleteI agree that Lululemon's drop is boring, but the Fount charms--they look so pretty and seem to be made with nice, thick leather! Which one is your favourite?
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! So hard to choose. I think if you want a pop of color go with the Raspberry. If you want more subtle, go with Lavender. But it really comes down to matching a bag and charm together.
DeleteFirst time commenter here-I do appreciate that you cover these drops, even if they are lame. Fortunately my wallet has been safe for a while. I like your reviews as I am a fellow petite girl (5'0) and you've introduced me to brands I've never heard of before.
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie! Thank you for leaving me a comment! That means a lot to me. I'm curious which brands did I introduce you to?
DeleteI have been purchasing LLL for a long time and update my wardrobe from time to time. I appreciate your drop and review posts. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know! Means a lot to me.
DeleteI used to buy something from LLL every month but those days are gone. I wouldn’t mind paying more for something special but not a regular hoodie or tee that you could easily get elsewhere at much lower prices. LLL might be using better materials for similar products, but that doesn’t justify the huge price difference.
ReplyDeleteI’ve only purchased two Always Effortless Jackets from LLL this year and I might not be able to afford that soon with the price increases LOL.

Hi Andrea! Same here. I actually have made any Lululemon purchases this year, none that I kept. All my purchases have been either Banana Republic or Athleta. And bags! 😅
