Empire Carryall 21

Perfect size!! I have 6 coach bags total, including the chelsea shoulder 30 and the Brooklyn shoulder 28 and this fits just as much as those two. It holds just over 5.5 liters which is very similar to the size of the chelsea shoulder 30 and the Brooklyn shoulder 28, so dont be discouraged by it being marketed as a "mini bag." The chelsea shoulder 30 and the Brooklyn shoulder 28 are both marketed as "daily bags" and both hold around 5.5 liters as well. Its similarly in size (not capacity) as the lana shoulder 23. The lana 23 holds much more due to its height and the triple compartments. But for size reference, this bag is the same length and width and the lana 23, But it is shorter in height. The empire line is known for being luggage-like and on the slightly larger end storage-wise (since they discontinued the empire carryall 26 and the smallest size available prior to this one was the 28.) But they are one of coach's best lines in terms of leather quality and functionality (imo). This bag fits plenty for its "compact" size, and the gussets on the side of the bag are adjustable, so you can unbuckle them and get substantially more space if needed. In this bag, I can comfortably fit: -compact wallet (bifold with zipper, a full-sized wallet might be too big) -travel size sunscreen stick -travel size deodorant -samsung galaxy s24+ (6.3 inches) -full sized sunglasses case -lip balm (glossier balm dot com) -lip balm (ole henrickson) -lip gloss (ilia in a tube) -foldable hair brush/compact mirror combo (like the old school ones.) I even have some space to spare since I fit all this with the gussets still buckled. The leather is so beautiful, as to be expected with coach, but it will be more prone to scratching/scuffs/water stainung since the newer empire 21 models use coach's semi-vegetable tanned leather rather than their standard natural grain which was used on the older models. But the vegetable tanned leather is softer, more flexible, and will develop lovely patina if cared for properly. Its more than worth it honestly. the empire line was a tough entry at the $550 price point for the smallest available size of the empire carryall 28 (before the 26 was discontinued). This one at $325 is much more accessible in price and still fits more than enough for a daily use bag. Plus, its so dang cute since its so compact! Its like a clown car, it looks small, but so much can fit inside!

Love love love quality the weight and the Material is priced perfectly. Stylish green is a perfect fit for any occasion. I and the feel is yummy . Comes with multiple straps. Butter soft to touch you love this leather bag. Run

Love, love this bag. It’s so beautiful and the color is better than shown in the photos. The suede is of great quality and interior lining as well is better than that of the caryall 34 that I have in black. It’s fairly small but amazingly holds quite a bit. It holds my iPhone 16 promax, wallet, pill bottle, lipstick , eyeshades and a few other items without looking parked. Iam very impressed with it and the packaging was better than the caryall 34 one esp for the arms.

I love this bag. Size, it’s beautiful, everything I wanted. However, it wasn’t packaged well. If I’m paying $313 for a purse it should ATLEAST have plastic or bubble wrap around it to protect it…. It was sat in a box with brown paper. That’s it. I wasn’t impressed with the packaging whatsoever. I wanted to reach out and ask why this happened but never figured out how to.

My goodness was this bag well packaged by Coach! It needed scissors and surgery to free it for use. Coach wrapped every nook and cranny of this bag! It was not a quick endeavor, BUT I appreciate the protection it received. And what I got in return is a beauty of a bag for a great sale price. Been a longtime admirer and buyer of Coach bags, and while the Coach Empire Carryall 48 is the one I drool for the most, it’s a travel bag, and this small version made my heart sing. I love it and haven’t even used it yet. Waiting for fall/autumn as that’s when, in my opinion, suede is best suited for in the fashion calendar. This is my first suede bag and I’m glad to add it to my collection. The only cons I see are the handle design. I wish the handles folded down as wearing it with the long shoulder strap looks odd, so I intend to carry it mostly by hand and on the crook of my arm. Not sure what the suede handles are going to look like after oils from my hands begin to impact it. Oh, and the dust bag isn’t big enough, or rather tall enough to accommodate the bunny eared handles; has to be turned on its side to accommodate. I wish Coach would make a less synthetic bag with some breathability. Their silky polyester bags are substandard.

Great designed bag! Quality leather, grrat value, perfect size and packaged very well. Thank you 🙏💯

I love the empire 28 (bought 3 colors). Empire 21, I held off for a long time. I could not get over the longer handles. I finally bought it because the price was right and I am willing to try. When it arrived, I thought it was tiny but cute. I was surprised the longer handles did not look or feel out of place. It is a little longer but not awkward. It is much better in person than pictured. The color clay is very nice. It’s like a brown with orange undertone, like copper. It is soft and malleable like the empire 28. I was surprised the handle was not in the way at all. I am 5’2” for reference.

Very small bag. It’s cute and all but wasn’t big enough for my daily essentials. Definitely not worth the price.
