Hi Kaz! Congrats! Maple is such a nice colour 🤎. It fits a lot, too. Great that you found the perfect size! 🧡✨

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Corrine. I think the Tabby you bought was Maple, it really is beautiful colour 🥰

[@JoleeLovesIt]

Handbags are my weakness❤

[@5ftNothing]

Me too Jolee. The sales were so good this year. My mouse might have slipped a couple more times 🙄💖

[@betalove012]

Mine too 😅❤

[@Mirella_MtOlympia]

So glad that you got the Empire version that you wanted!! The color is gorgeous too! Congrats Kaz!!!🥰🥰🥰

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Mirella, the size is perfection and I love the colour. It was worth waiting for 🥰

I still don’t know, why I love handbags and small leather goods, so much! I was a little girl, who ask for Christmas, handbags, tea pots sets, and dolls, the babies with diapers to change.😅 I love this bag, the color is the perfect brown or maroon. This was helpful, I am thinking in getting one, the size is perfect. I am petite also 5’2”. Enjoy it in health and in love. Thanks for sharing.❤

[@5ftNothing]

Thank you for your kind words, it's so nice to share my love of handbags. I think the 28 is the perfect size too, I hope you manage to get one 🤞 🥰

[@jaks_bag_attack]

Love the look can't stand the divided split ❤

[@5ftNothing]

It definitely restricts the amount of room and you have to be more organised. It's a bit like a game of tetris 😅

[@GraceChen838]

Woooo, what a gorgeous bag, I am glad you got a wonderful deal and something you love. The colour is beautiful!!

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Grace. It's a really good quality bag for just under 1k, I think I'm in love 🤎😅

[@cchewdiary]

I have this same 28 bag but in dark stone colour. However that maple dark chocolate brown is just absolutely beautiful! Glad this bag size worked out for you

[@5ftNothing]

Thank you. I have the Lana bag in dark stone and it's a beautiful colour. The size of this bag is just right. It's a Goldilocks bag 😅

[@michellejackson7950]

This bag fits all your essentials in ! Perfect ❤

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Michelle, thank you, it is such a great size, I love the colour too 🥰

[@JoleeLovesIt]

Ok Goldilocks! Let’s get the right size 😊

[@5ftNothing]

It’s the perfect size for me! 🥰

[@JoleeLovesIt]

@ it’s a fantastic size 🤎

[@kaja9552]

I'm so glad the Empire Bag worked out for you! It's a beautiful bag. I'm the same as you as far as charms. I don't have any. The thought of Scott hiding your mouse makes me laugh. I can picture you looking for it in the late night hours when the urge to check the internet strikes😄

[@5ftNothing]

Thanks Kathleen. Scott really should have hidden that mouse, it slipped again, whoops 😂

[@marybethlengyel8875]

Great new bag, I just bought a 26 quilted tabby in a silver color. Which I’m loving. Congrats to you. Take care 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Mary, thank you. The quilted Tabby is a lovely bag, congrats to you too 🥰

[@elischubert8833]

❤beautiful bag, and great for fall / winter😊

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Eli, thank you, I love all the fall/winter colours 🥰

[@kathythomas9352]

I love this bag in this size. My only regret is that darkness of the interior. Thanks for the video.

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Kathy. I agree, it would be a great bag if the interior was lighter but the quality and size is excellent 🥰

[@marytownsend3718]

Glad you had good luck with the Empire bag. It’s beautiful. I had to punch extra holes in my shoulder strap since I’m also 5ft nothing.

[@5ftNothing]

Hi Mary, I'm really impressed with it too and I think the 28 is the perfect size to use as an ordinary bag. I'll definitely be punching a couple of holes in mine too 🥰

[@JoleeLovesIt]

Glove tanned ( think baseball gloves )

[@5ftNothing]

I've never seen a baseball glove. The leather is lovely though 🥰

[@jaks_bag_attack]

You know almost everything is manufacturer in china which is closer to you, i bet they import it all back to america to export it out, because technically its cheaper to send it to Australia

[@5ftNothing]

Very true. It probably goes as good as once around the world before it gets here. It's the same with a lot of European brands. They make 90% of the bag in China, it goes to say Italy, they finish off the last 10% so they can say it's made in Italy. Then a lot of it is probably shipped back to China to be sold. It's a crazy world we're living in Jackie 🙄

Hi,fellow luxury lover here .l have bags on my mind constantly really struggled with coach.beacause i buy only high end bags i didnt know if i would use coach.i caved and bought the blue tabby 26.in the same year that i bought loro piana,dior,fendi, bottega,louis vuitton and Ferragamo bags.and the coach did not feel out of place.long story short im gonna buy an empire 28 because of your review.im going to italy for new years and definitely buying vuitton and hermes if i get a bag .did i say i was a bag lover😅

[@5ftNothing]

Hi, sorry it's taken me so long to reply, your message was 'held' for some reason, maybe because of the mention of all the designer names. Coach is really great value for money isn't it. I love the Coach Empire 💖

[@McMc-jl2wn]

I agree, it’s a gorgeous purse! I’m curious on your thoughts though on buying preloved luxury?

[@5ftNothing]

Nearly all of my luxury bag collection is pre-loved. Most of my bags have never been used although technically they're pre-loved because they're pre-owned. I've only bought 3 of my collection direct from boutiques, 2 Chanels and 1 Louis Vuitton. There are some good deals at the moment. My advice would be to buy from a consignment store that has a good reputation. It's easy now to check their reputation looking at google reviews, trust pilot etc. I do think it's advisable that once you have the bag to have it authenticated even if the 'store' you're buying it from have authenticated it themselves. I hope that helps 🥰

[@grreeeeee]

perhaps the base measures 28cm? the widest point would be 35cm

[@5ftNothing]

It's the distance between the D rings either side of the top of the bag and you're right I just checked, it is the base too 👍

[@JoleeLovesIt]

lol! Where DOES the 28 come from? Weird 😊

[@5ftNothing]

I've just been measuring every bit of the bag and I found the 28! It's the distance between the D rings on the top of the bag and just the flat part of the base too 🤔

[@JoleeLovesIt]

@ hahaha yes
