Handbags

[ladycos]

I spent my handbag allowance for the next two years in late spring on a LV.  I really have enjoyed it but....I thought it would cure my addiction  and I wouldn't be interested in any other bags for a long while and maybe I could streamline my hand bags. You know, simplify things! 

Well, that is according to my friend who loves everything LV.

She is a lot younger than me but,  I should be wiser don't you think?  Guess Not , it didn't cure me it just hurt my wallet serverly. But everyone needs one Is how I justified it.  Had to have matching wallet and such.  Ouch ! I really don't regret the LV but I'm not sure if I would want more. Yet...

 Brahmin was getting a little repetitive with the same old styles and cheaping some with all the odd colors just to try to throw new bags out there. They are still a good quality bag to me and...

 What I found out is once a Brahmin addict always a Brahmin addict.  I caved after seeing this Brahmin and thinking about it for a few weeks. It sold out on line at Brahmin,  so of course I started to panic and want it even more. Luckily I was able to find it at Belks, ( last one).

It says summer and fall to me.  I'm glad I caved because this would have always been the one that got away .

Hi, @ladycos !  I love Brahmin bags particularly the Melbourne series.  I have two, one small and a Duxbury large satchel. This is the smaller one.  For some reason the Duxbury wouldn't post.

That is a beautiful bag with unique coloring. I love a satchel.

That's the large duxbury...correct?

Do you wear it as a shoulder bag?  Is there enough room?  Did it come with a shoulder strap?

Looks better with your picture than the original Brahmin pic, don't know why that is.

Beautiful bag, I love that color combo and I  had my eye on it for a long time.   I'll  proably regret letting that one get away.  I'm not sure but that looks like the Caroline which is a style I don't have yet.. It really looks good in that color combo.  Love it.

No it is the small version. I have mostly the large duxbury but this is my second small duxbury and I am surprised by how much room it has . Yes it came with a shoulder strap which is how I carry it most of the time. 
I think it's actually a little bit more accessible than the large.

I recently bought a Brahmin bag and promptly returned it. I checked the reviews and measurements and when I got it home you could barely fit a phone, a credit card wallet and keys in it. Unless of course you want to take everything out every time you need a Kleenex. I only do small bags. I'm not a tote girl. I have several older Brahmins that I still like but I agree, their bags are getting very repetitive. Same bags over and over again only in another color. Some bags are in 40 different colors. I've written them about making some genuinely new styles and so far nothing to my liking.
