Customer Reviews

As a busy mom of three, I'm always looking for a stylish yet functional handbag that can fit everything I need for a day out with my kids. I took a chance and ordered the Mercer tote from Emperia based on the reviews. I'm so glad I did! This tote is roomy enough for diapers, wipes, snacks, my wallet, phone, and even an extra pair of toddler shoes. The minimal design looks much more expensive than it was. I get compliments every time I use it! The leather is so soft and has held up perfectly over the last few months with three messy kids. The wide straps stay comfortably on my shoulder even when loaded up. I love all the thoughtful interior and exterior pockets that keep me organized. As far as quality for price, Emperia can't be beat. I'll be purchasing more bags from them!

I'll be honest, I was skeptical that Emperia bags could look as nice in person as they do online. But I am delighted to say I was wrong! I bought the Alma shoulder bag in blush pink for a wedding. When it arrived, I was wowed. The color is even prettier in real life. The bag has a surprisingly luxe feel and the floral embossing is so elegant. I got endless compliments the night of the wedding. The convertible strap let me wear it two ways. The magnetic closure keeps everything secure. Inside, the bag is pristine with a polka dot lining and neat interior pockets. My phone, lipstick, cards, and cash all fit nicely. I was able to dance the night away hands-free! For the quality, Emperia's prices cannot be beat. I'll definitely be purchasing more bags for every occasion. Their customer service is also excellent. Don't hesitate to order from this brand!

As an avid vintage shopper, I love that Emperia's hobo bags have a cool retro vibe but modern styling. The Carina hobo in chestnut brown leather looks like it could be from the 70s in the best possible way! The slouchy shape and braided accents ooze boho flair. But the minimal gold hardware and spacy interior keeps it contemporary. I can fit all the essentials for weekend trips home to see my parents without it getting too heavy. The detachable strap is conveniently adjustable. The leather feels thick and durable but still buttery soft. For a handcrafted leather bag, Emperia's price is unbelievable. I get non-stop compliments whenever I take this bag out. It elevates casual outfits instantly. Overall, I'm extremely impressed by the beautiful craftsmanship and customer service from Emperia. This hobo will be my go-to for years to come! I'll be purchasing more styles soon.

Being a busy college student and avid traveler, I needed a functional backpack that didn't look like I was headed to the gym. Emperia's Marco backpack exceeded my expectations! Right away I was impressed by the full-grain Italian leather details that make it look sophisticated. The canvas fabric is durable and water-resistant which is perfect for campus life. I can fit my heavy textbooks, laptop, gym clothes, and more in the spacious main compartment without an issue. The dedicated padded laptop sleeve keeps my device protected. There are so many pockets and compartments that keep me organized. The zipper closures all feel high-end. For a leather/canvas backpack, the price can't be beat. It has held up great through months of travel across Europe this summer. I've gotten tons of compliments from strangers asking where I bought it! Definitely recommend Emperia for stylish, quality bags that don't break the bank. This backpack was a game changer for me.

As a bridesmaid this summer, I needed a small clutch for the bachelorette party that would go with my dress. Emperia's Ava foldover clutch in gold glitter was absolutely perfect! The glittery fabric is eye-catching without being over the top. The sleek envelope shape is so classy. It fit my phone, cards, lipstick, and cash easily for a night out dancing. The hidden wristlet strap allowed me to go hands-free when needed. The bag looked far more expensive than the affordable price tag. I got so many compliments on it! The next day I was able to transition the clutch into a gold shoulder bag for the rehearsal dinner by switching to the detachable chain strap. It complemented both outfits flawlessly. I am obsessed with this convertible clutch! The quality exceeds expectations. I plan on ordering more bags from Emperia in different colors and patterns. Their customer service is excellent and shipping was super fast too. Highly recommend!
