Need A Birkin On A Budget? Coach Has You Covered!

[@DianaPadilla-f9f]

I hate to Break it to people, but Coach has survived and thrived through all of the Luxury nonsense. Coach's heritage and excellent quality has Spoken.

[@hankypanda]

I have heard that 90's coach leather is better than hermes. I think jessiestyle did a video on it. im so curious

[@Mirella_MtOlympia]

So true!

[@socobbb]

@@hankypanda frank Clegg is the American Hermes quality.

[@iStorm-my5fp]

People have been sleeping on Coach for years

[@sarahbritt1234]

​@@hankypandaI don't have any Hermes so I can't compare but I do know that vintage Coach from the 90's is fantastic. The leather and construction was impeccable. This was still back when Coach handcrafted their bags in the US.

[@shaquillesteinback8839]

I love it. I'll take the affordable bag any day. So many girls out here walking around with bags worth thousands of dollars and they don't have a dime inside of said bag.

[@sarahbritt1234]

😂😂😂

[@shannonpeterson1694]

I don’t think it looks enough like a birkin to be a copy…. But I seriously love it. It’s like a Mary poppins bag, if marry poppins wore combat boots.

[@b__ty]

this is the perfect way to describe it !

[@michellemarshall4411]

@@b__tyI agree completely and still here for I will look for it in 2025 my budget is done for the year 😊 I looked at on coach website because it does not close only one pocket zipper same as Hermes not my thing but both styles very pretty 🤩

[@adl5453]

Coach can always find a way to get my money😂LOL…They got me in a chokehold…I always run back to them no matter which other brands I try out.

[@SaabGuy-mq3cw]

I have 2 Birkins, an Evelyne and a Lindy, and I’m also adding this. I don’t compare this to my Birkins, rather see it as an alternative. This bag, the slouchy leather, burnished edges and the construction are that of a very expensive bag, but for a reasonable price. This the Coach I’ve been waiting for to return. I can’t stand people nit-pick and try to compare every bag, if you like it, get it for what it is, a beautiful well constructed bag. This in a side by side with the Row Margaux, I picked this.

[@Mirella_MtOlympia]

Great point!!!

[@amorgladiador8856]

Amen. We think alike. I've been waiting for this comeback too. I've always loved Coach. I have from vintage to their new collection. The Coach chain straps are to die for also and reasonably priced. I added their new C signature strap recently and it's so well-made I can't believe what I paid. Plus, their customer service is top-notch in my experience.

[@SaabGuy-mq3cw]

@@amorgladiador8856 agreed, they have great customer service

[@blt565]

It kinda reminds me of the Row Margaux more then Birkin like. The Empire is a nice looking bag. Definitely cheaper than a Hermes quota bag factoring in the pre-spend to be offered a bag 😂

[@NicolleJansson]

I own the 40 in this bag as shown in your background photo. The natural full grain leather is to die for! I can tell you, the size 40 and 48 are full grain leather and the smaller sizes are Coach's glove tanned leather which is a stiffer and very prone to scratches. I hope that continue to make more bags with this full grain leather. It's buttery soft and will age quite nicely IMO! Thanks for the great video, Dacob!❤

[@amorgladiador8856]

Hope so too. Full grain leather was the original Coach leather when the company was founded. It's what put them on the map. Glad they are going back to their roots.

[@havealot2say]

I don’t care what anyone says, I’m team coach all day everyday!

[@meggammacisaacrylie7869]

A lot of people are considering the Empire Bag, based on it's price alone. Why spend between $5,000-$15,000 for a high quality carry all, when you can get one from $450-$895, depending on size.

[@carrino15]

Because no one make leather feel like silk or velvet like Hermés does. Also the colours are amazing on Hermés bags.

[@hankypanda]

@@carrino15 hermes colors really are breath taking.

[@herrgrunaan]

This Empire Carryall is brought back from the Coach archives. Coach and Hermes are their own brands. Respectfully.

[@NicolePapincak]

The FOMO frenzy got me there for a second! I’m OK now 😂

[@bnb0510]

Coach is popping lately! A Heated Mess just bought this bag. It’s beautiful!

[@VC_0404]

@@bnb0510 ya think? Hmm some youtubers have bought (?) coach as well. Me thinks they were gifted to promote the brand. It’s not new. Idyl,gingiberi,parisa wang,etc they’ve been there.

[@janicedelong7900]

Your eye shadow is on fleeeeeek!!!!

[@adriennemoore4789]

I have this bag in size 40 and navy and it is stunning! It is also buttery soft, not stiff or rigid at all. It is very light when it is empty. It can become a little heavy if you put a bunch of stuff in it, but I figure that’s what the crossbody strap is for. I have a large Fendi peekaboo and I love the Coach bag just as much if not more because the 40 has a zipper and is a wide open bag instead of compartments.

[@catnip4587]

This bag is so heave empty. Can’t imagine carrying it full. This Linda says no

[@starz0120]

I like Coach handbags! I like the wallets, too! If I need a big leather handbag, I'll buy the big carry all! It's beautiful and the quality is good. Buying it won't bankrupt me. I'll be a happy buyer!

[@vetpig1454]

Thanks for another great video, Dacob. I find it's more reminiscent of the Row Margaux. Good on Coach👏🏾👏🏾

[@Divinenubian]

I have this bag in 26 maple and i love it. Ive carried it for the last 2 weeks its worth every penny 😊

[@pamelamoscato7247]

Looks great, the price vs quality is amazing... makes those Luxury Brands prices look insanely expensive!

[@QueenShanine]

I told my SA at Coach to look out for the Merlot color. I want that 40 for a work bag. I may take the maple color at this point which I think they still have. The bag is lovely in person.

[@periscope7731]

That’s a great viewpoint in-store. Please tell me, did the Merlot color suggest a warm burgundy-red tonality, or was it on the blue-red spectrum IRL?

[@socobbb]

No need to be bitter in the comments, just because you decided a brikin was worth the money. The big H has dropped in value in the stock market. I see more and more " lucky " people getting random walking offers at the boutiques. LVMH closed almost 50% of tiffanys boutique in China, while Coach is actually expanding. I believe people still love luxury, but they appreciate more value for the money, rather than the hype of a brand.

[@kimaholland3423]

I don't know why but it reminds me of the Mary Poppins carpet bag but also of a doctor's bag 💕

[@mrdouglasthisisme]

This bag is beautiful!!! I knew modern Coach could pull it off!

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

Yes I definitely got Birken vibes. I love the Empire ❤. Seriously considering it

[@gigglingchaos1795]

My coach bags are excellent quality and they value their customers. I purchase those bags for use, not for brag.

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

I have an old Dooney and Burke all leather tote this big

I have it in 48 Merlot. The work bag I always dreamed of! 😊

I just got it in black and in size 40.

[@kavitagupta6103]

Hi.i have many luxury bags but im getting this empire.the quality looks great,minimal branding.for me its like the margaux.not the birkin at all

[@mariax876]

Coach is 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ThreadsandTheory]

I have this bag and have a few TikTok videos on it. It’s stunning and a must see in person. The photos just don’t do it justice. The 40 and 48 sizes don’t have the center divider and have an unstructured base. They’re giving slouchy buttery goodness.

[@svatisingh1]

You absolutely crack me up Dacob - loving your humour and jokes lately, the way you impersonated Maria D really made me laugh, no shade to her, she's a sweetheart, but the way she pronounces certain words, like "style" comes out "st-ow" and I just think is it just me or are a lot of words just not getting their due attention here? So your intro has me laughing out loud! Same as when you mentioned the Chanel house, was meaning to write a comment there, but loved your IBS in private joke there - yes, that house is a giant toilet. Thank you for bringing humour to what is often a serious business 💕🙌 we need the fun 💕😆

[@Cestjosh]

Coach has gone through many phases of the brand lifecycle and they've definitely revived themselves since the Rogue era (in my opinion). This bag is GORGEOUS! Unfortunately not much of Europe will probably get this bag, but I'll remain hopeful!

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

I want this in size 40 ❤

[@lerc3690]

me too!!! In Merlot! Omg I absolutely love it.

[@FireflyGlitter]

The size 40 in blue is on my list! 💙

[@dflowers1477]

Gorgeous bag! But the weight in all leather would be prohibitive for me. Still gorgeous.

[@suerobinson844]

Hi It's smart. I'll have to check out the small ❤ from Queensland Australia

[@amorgladiador8856]

It seems I was prescient on this Coach renaissance back in 2022 when I began investing in some of their gorgeous outerwear. I have several pieces now and they go perfectly with my new Coach bags since they are understated. I've been saying on YT for years that Coach is one of my favorite brands and I own Chanel and other luxury bags. The best part: you don't have to worry about it. You wear it, go out, and enjoy your bag completely. Coach is like a having a drama-free relationship. Not high-maintenance and worry-free!

[@LadyJiJi]

Good for Coach… anyway, YSL also had the Sac de Jour in various sizes with similar design attributes. Has anyone seen the Broome Carryall Bag…? Nice looking bag.

[@blt565]

The larger of the Broome is on my to buy list. I think that is more Birkin like than the Empire.

[@delaiahsimmons4474]

If Hermes is suing for copying they gone have to sue every fashion house then lol. They gone have to go after YSL for the Sac De Jour and The Row for the Margaux and the list goes on. Love this bag so much!

[@shelljackson69]

Definitely a Mary Poppins Bag Gorgeous Timeless Shaped Bag , in some amazing colours My favourites are the burnished Merlot , Blue and the Maple . FYI the bag is not stiff - very supple

[@marit6164]

I really like it

[@ssmith4933]

I seen the bag in person today and seen 3 out of the 4 sizes. I really like this bag, I will go back with my current work bag to compare with the 40. I like that it has a zipper enclosure, also it is expandable.

Makes no sense for Hermes to sue because imaging with all the dupes that are for their bags from different companies.

Hi Dacob 😀 👋 i hope that bag comes full of 💸 she is carrying.

[@reneehampton7665]

It is more like the Row Margaux.

[@shikmabonfil286]

I love this bag only in the bigger size the problem is I don’t have anything to carry inside 🤪I literally leave the house every day with my cell phone and lv key pouch 🥴 the smaller size loose the charm of the shape

[@shyannabanana4846]

I highly recommend the Rogue 25 from Coach. Such an amazing bag.

[@StelmaDesigns]

I love this bag but the smaller sizes appear to have a zipper divider in the middle which ruins the saggy, loose, "throw it all inside" concept I love in a big bag. I immediately thought of a Birkin when I saw it! Then again, I own two Swaggers which I also thought were a nod to the Birkin.

[@gillianl8932]

I felt it in person & it does feel really good! 40 isn’t too large on my frame at 5”7’. I’m itching for one in Navy but it might not be released in my country 😢 both Black & Merlot have currently sold out! They’re saying the 48 will be officially released in Oct & i do think think this is true as it’s currently on Taiwan & HK sites but not available yet.

[@CarolCreates]

Talking about designer bags, because of your fashion knowledge, I’d like your take on Bliss Foster’s recent vid about being unaware of purchasing a “fake” Valentino 🤔

[@NashvilleFrank]

Great information expertly presented! Coach is on it. Who’s their lead designer? I was looking at the Ferragamo tote but the coach catches the vibe.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Frank. Coach does catch the vibe for me too. 💖

[@christelpeeters8767]

The leather Duffel bag of Brunello Cucinelli is the best Birkin dupe.

[@hankypanda]

it's pretty. reminds me of a blend of the bolide and the one from the row. also kinda like a garden party or neverfull with the ability to cave in the sides. I already have a neverfull and garden party, but I gotta admit I love that birkin-esque detail. I dont want any more journeys though! it made it immediately less attractive when thinking about how hard to find it may be if it's viral. it's such a turn off after all hermes put me through lol I just want easy to get stuff the rest of my life, FOMO is exhausting. it's obviously fun for others, but I am not built for it, it gives me adrenal fatigue.

[@bsk6707]

I saw this in the coach store in the smaller size. It's beautiful. BUT !! It is so heavy! Could not carry it without a chiropractor on call. The big one is ridiculous.

[@thebookofglory]

It looks really good though!

[@mommyface2675]

Something missing from it they should’ve added a buckle and a close shot. Maybe it just looks plain to me. I don’t know, but it does look nicer in person than it does in the photos. Still feel like something is missing and small. The shape is weird.

[@jeanettenfreeland1408]

I just love the way you pronounce French

[@JasmineTheSaint]

It's a beautiful bag. However, the bigger sizes are sold out in Germany

[@HereniaDeoro]

I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from luxrul for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.

[@lakamatte4975]

Vintage coach vibe

[@christelpeeters8767]

This bag has the shape of a Hermés Bolide 50 and looks more like a the Row Margaux rather than a Birkin, don’t you think?

[@stratosphere94]

[@texirie]

It’s better in person.

[@raqueldasilva8702]

[@bagobeans]

I'm sorry, it's not Berkin. Don't know why you even think that. Just a regular leather bag.

[@KellyMorganRealEstate]

That bag looks played and unoriginal - the cheapie keychain beads look like it came from a tourist trap - not worth the coin. $69.50 sounds about right for that bag.

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

I love it but I’m not going to join a journey to get it. Coach doesn’t hold value like that. In 2-3 years this bag will be worth $200 dollars preloved or in the outlets

[@lesmisperson]

This doesn't correlate with how their 2-3 year old bags are currently selling... all are maintaining value and rarer ones are going for more than retail.

[@CapeCodBelle]

I don’t think it looks like a Birkin at all! I wouldn’t line up for this and it doesn’t look like it holds much inside.

[@c16621]

Oh, by they way, your eyes STILL look fabulously done! Giving off Taemin "Want" vibes! 👍

[@c16621]

HAHAHAHA! Is coach going back to the traditional leather they used to use 40 years ago? Is the hardware the traditional brass they used to use 40 years ago? If not, then I'll pass, lol. I'm not going to be fooled into buying cheaply made bull5h1t. It's the reason I stopped buying their overpriced, inferior crap since the end of the '90s. I'd rather get a Strathberry.
