Sadly QVC does not sell Brahmin bags. But I see women carrying them when I am out and about. I think they are pretty. Do you have one? Do you think they are worth it?

At one time Brahmin was my bag of choice. I haven't bought one in probably 10 years. They used to make nice smaller bags (I don't do totes or big bags) in pretty colors. Then I think they sold the company and now they seem to have the same tired old styles in 35 different colors. They have to many bags in wild patterns and colors now. I prefer black or pecan. Plus they seemed to put a gloss that is now really shiny and it makes the bags look like plastic. My bag of choice now and has been for many years is Brighton.

They are my favorite moderate brand.

I have some I purchased several years ago in West Palm Beach and Newport RI.They really are great quality and after having them over 20 years they still look good as new.

I have one, I don't think I'd buy another one. Leather is very stiff and I wish it had more pockets. 

I get lots compliments from young women when I'm carrying it.

I have at least 5 Brahmin bags and they are around 8 to 10 years old.  They are in excellent condition.  I realize they are not inexpensive but I feel they are better than any Dooney.  My Dooney's are great too but the Brahmin are superior.  I would not hesitate to buy another Brahmin.

I've bought Brahmin bags for over 25 years.  I still have the first ones I bought and they have held up to lots of wear.  i like their styles and materials but I haven't bought recently since I want to use what I have.  I don't think they look plastic at all and enjoy the different colors I see.  Mine don't have a lot of outer pockets, but that isn't important to me.

I've got a couple.  Came out with a pretty Pink color

Yeah, they are stiff and sometimes don't have the back pocket. I stuffed the one I got that does have a back pocket and put down hard paper rolls to stretch it out won't take it again till spring or summer.

Like Nash's better. Seems like I got it on clearance at Dillards

I have only two, a small tapestry and brown leather bag and an ostrich type, small brown one.  The tapestry one, the leather has cracked.  They are stored in my climate controlled closet, in my bedroom, in the bags that came with them!  I was disappointed in the leather but only I notice it.  I no longer need to buy most things. I am old and have acquired way too many nice things!

I have had better luck in my later life with Brighton bags.👜
