Oh my gosh, I love my Brahmins! They are very well made and much lighter in weight than Dooney. My current fav is the All Day Convertible. Its straps are truly long enough for crossbody or they can be doubled as a shoulder bag. It's big enough to hold my wallet but not too big to be a good crossbody. I bought it in green last summer and loved it so much that I bought it in black for winter.

I have several Brahmins. Some are many years old and still look new.

I've been buying Brahmin for over 15 years -- probably closer to 20 -- and love them. The quality is excellent and the ones I have from way back when look as good as new. As I tire of them I handed them down to my granddaughter.

I remember the first Brahmin I saw many years ago. I saw a lady carrying one at a mall and I was on the hunt to find what brand it was and where I could buy one.

I can't remember exactly how I found out what brand it was, but probably an online hunt.

I have a few now and love them. They make awesome crossbody bags with built in wallets.

My all time favorite color is Pecan. I think I own 5 and 3 of them are in Pecan.

P.S. I never pay full price. I either get them on sale or on Ebay (new only).

My favorite color is Toasted Almond in the Melbourne (crocodile) texture. It's a bit lighter and more tonal than the Pecan color. Love it! And Brahmins can be gotten on sale at the department stores when they have Friends and Family, or end-of-season sales.

A good 'don't break the bank' purse. Very sturdy, good for me because I am very tough on bags.
