New Brahmin Summer Collection

Their new summer collection just came out today.  I really like these two prints.

Re: New Brahmin Summer Collection

@Pecky  Beautiful! Are you going to purchase them? 

 

I love my summer handbags. I'm not sure if I will be purchasing anything new this season. Deciding on what I will be using the next several months. This is what I'm using now and through the July 4th holiday.

@Calibeach I had this bag and sold it.  I loved it.  I am probably going to order the palm one.  It will be perfect for spring/summer.

I used to love Brahmin and had many but I lost interest when they kept making the same bags in 52 different colors (some awful combinations) and the gloss or whatever they used to make their bags shiny started to make them look like plastic. Plus they rarely seem to have enough small bags.

@Meowingkitty I agree! I haven't ordered from them in a few years because of the reasons you stated.  Something speaks to me about these two prints.  The good thing about them is they refund you fairly quickly if you should send it back.

I bought a Brahmin bag about six years ago, and it still has all its tags.

 

I think the colors and designs are fabulous, but I find the handle uncomfortable, and the bag is stiff.

 

Not sure if I would ever buy another....

 

They are all very pretty, however!

Re: New Brahmin Summer Collection

Hi, @Pecky !  I love Brahmin bags and have several but as noted in other reviews the leather has been on the stiffer side.  I recently bought one of their bags in the Alden Road collection, which is softer leather that cam actually puddle a bit.  I bought a crossbody/shoulder bag in a crescent shape and it does slouch a bit when I wear it.  The bonus with the softer leather is the bag isn't so heavy.
