@ItsME : l received the bag yesterday, but unfortunately it's very large and heavy, and the leather is stiff. It's cumbersome and uncomfortable to carry on the shoulder. I ended up returning it.  Woman Frustrated

 

The color is beautiful though, but the type of leather just doesn't work for this particular style-- a large tote. It's better in a smaller, structured style like you got. I hope you're enjoying it!

@handygal2   That is a shame!  I saw some of the bigger bags, and loved them, but I use smaller bags.  There was a cute small one, but not in this print, and it was just a tad too small.  This one is just right!  LOL

That handbag is simply gorgeous! So sorry it didn't work for you. I love the colors in it.
Brahmin leather bags ARE stiff; at first I didn't like them because of that...I was used to carrying softer, slouchier handbags.
But then I started to get used to the firm leather...and now I like how the bigger bags and totes keep their shape.
Hope you find another bag in that color palette!

I'm glad to see this brahmin post still going. I've been buying Brahmin a few years and I love them now more than ever. I've enjoyed everyone's pictures of their picks. 

I was able to get this Marina Duxbury Melbourne during the ebates 15% 

back on Brahmin promotion.  Also had a birthday coupon from Brahmin. 

 

I'm not a white handbag girl but I love the white and blue together.

Stunning bag! Thank you for sharing it with us. I've never seen that blue tipping on the white - very unusual.
And...Happy Birthday! Love those Brahmin birthday coupons. 💚

Thank you for the compliment and the Happy Birthday.

The crossbody you posted was gorgeous !

They are so addictive and I totally understand about staying away to stay out of trouble, haha. I think I’m going to concentrate on buying the accessories for the ones I have for a while. We’ll see how that goes in the self control dept!!
