I used mine-got the large vanity, small metro cosmetic and the zoey cosmetic. I wish they were in fun colors, but maybe they will make them in fun colors later and I will sell them? I don't know. They have been dropping a lot of new releases in the past month though, it's been fun.
I got my valentine’s items yesterday! 
I totally love the makeup pouches, I think the print is adorable. 
I’m still torn on the Greta. It’s pretty for sure, but I’ve been using an LV Recto Verso for two years (which is by far the longest I’ve ever used a wallet) and didn’t get the urge to switch into the Greta, so I’ll debate about that one for a while!

Ooh please post pics when you get the items! I’ll be curious what you think about the large vanity and the small cosmetic!
The Valentines stuff
Today I purchased the mini empire tote in the blue (rather than the camel since I prefer silver hardware and less concern about color transfer). Seems like it offers more structure than the metro totes to offset the same amount of inside fabric, fingers crossed. It’s rare for me to purchase something so quickly (saw the email today, clicked, browsed, and purchased). I’d already decided it was what I needed and was just waiting for them to create and launch it ha.

The Opal Micro Sutton! I opted not to take it on a vacation involving three different theme parks, it was just too new. I think I’ll keep it even though I’m not sure about using it 
It is really stiff, has the same coating as the super colorful leather keyring ID wallet, which certainly has softened up, but it doesn’t even feel like leather. It’s so thick I worry it will crack and peel, eventually 
However, it will always have some structure which is great 
Love looking at it. For some
reason (camera adjustment) my pictures show it kind of dimly and subdued. It’s more like in the picture where the handle sticks out, light/bright.

They are both adorable. Maybe without removing tag just try to fill Greta and see if it would even work for you. I bought a sparkly greta and almost sold it without trying it. Then I thought why not at least test pack it and see how it would fit in my bag. I was surprised how thin it is and doesn't take too much space. I kept mine. My most used wallet is a card holder but sometimes I need a bit more room and that is when I use Greta.I got my valentine’s items yesterday!

Thank you! I think I might have to give it a test pack at the least and it’s nice to hear you felt the same right away! I haven’t done anything with it yet since I know if I return it, it’s not something that will be re-bought easily. Thank you for the suggestion!!!
I'm really eyeing the empire tote! Is it like the metro tote that has a lot of fabric at the top that closes the bag? I don't have the metro tote (only have a sutton) but imagine that the flappy fabric on top would make it hard to get to my things...The Valentines stuff

Hi, I don't have the empire but I've been thinking of it. Yes i think it has the "flap" like the metro tote bags. I've owned a few metro it's actually not that bad. I don't put any stuff I use frequently into the interior front patch pockets. I like the 2 top collar exterior zip pockets
.
I still have not used the ad-lib code. There's so many I want but none I need.
1. Small Empire tote reflective: it's a unique material. I like the original grey, but don't think I'll see the "flash" silver reflective much in real life. Also heard the special reflective treatment might worn off overtime?
2. Small Empire in navy and black: safe color combo. I like the 2 top collar pockets. Is the base really that wide? 7.68"?
3. Mini Empire in navy and black: looks so cute! But it's smaller than the mini metro tote and same price.
4. Metro shoulder: everyone seems to love this hobo bag. Good price point. 0 exterior pocket. But regular (medium) or large size?

Next post I’ve got pictures and notes on Mini Empire. I adore the micro and mini Metro Totes except for those flaps (and the micro’s openings are a little hard to get into), and because they’re floppy bags they feel like they’re swimming. I assumed similar for Empires but in fact they’ve scaled those flaps back! On the metros, you stuff the bag to its max and you’ll be able to zip it shut with no constriction, flaps are like a floppy lid. Empire is a little tighter, almost feels more dense, a little more buttoned up and formal.
Mini Empire arrived next day, ordered Wed AM, arrived Thu Boston area. Definitely a safe color like ms p said. Haven’t even packed it up yet. It was hard to get picture comparing its base with Micro Metro… I guess the bottom piece is the same size, and how the bag fans out and opens up is a little different. Dawn bag in the back is Mini Metro.
The closing flaps really are smaller, hope you can see in the picture. Empire is slightly taller than Metro, I think the sides also start moving up closer to the base, cause on the metro the side fabric spreads out effectively extending the base, then goes up, so metros get their capacity/volume that way. The black accents going up front and back give a little support which also helps the swimming-in-fabric Metro experience.
One inside front pocket, one inner pouch pocket in the inside back pocket (is that 5 interior pockets not 6 as listed?).
Exciting: This Mini Empire is comparable to Micro Sutton and Micro Metro, BUT it has those two outer slip pockets that do fit an iPhone pro plus width wise (sticks out the top, cute if not secure), a cute little market bag pouch, and the keyring strap!!! I’ve missed all of those on the micros!
Since vacation I need very little space, but soon I’ll be putting this gem to good use.
