I've found a couple of threads on Brahmin but they seemed to discuss the brand in general or a particular style so I figured we needed a place to show off our Brahmin bags!

I didn't notice this brand for some time and didn't know much about it but really loved the styles after stumbling into a Brahmin outlet store with some gorgeous bags! I also appreciated learning that this brand is still made in the USA.

Anyone else have some Brahmin bags to share? BTW, I've had the wallet since last summer and it has held up incredibly well. The color is amazing.

I have NO IDEA why these images are rotated! Ugh!

I've heard great things about Brahmin, but everything I've seen from them lately is croc-embossed, which I"m not really a fan of. Hoping to see some other styles/textures here!

I like some of the croc and others...not so much. They have some GORGEOUS leathers, like what are shown in the first two photos. I'm hoping they introduce more later this year. So far, the Sonoma leather is my favorite.

At the time I got these, I thought they were so awesome. It never occurred to me they were embossed. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

The pink is with and without flash. Argh--I miss my xp photo resizer. Am forced to do extreme cropping.

I love you bags

Brahmin makes beautiful bags. Extremely well constructed, nice interior materials, pockets, hardware, everything. Plus a very good price!

While I don't have a Brahmin bag, I do have this zip around Brahmin wallet that my DH got me for Christmas. I love it - very functional, lots of CC slots without taking up a ton of space, and I loooove the color.

Nordstrom had them for about $250-400 when I bought mine in 2004. Nordy still carries them and they seem to be a little cheaper now.

I bought my from ebay. The pink one was new and I paid about $150 for it. The black was was pre-loved and I paid about $50 for it.

Pretty I guess I will need to hit the tent sale next time they have it

Where can I find the "smooth"-textured leathers? Everything I see on the Brahmin website is croc-embossed in one way or another, which isn't my style.

Tejas, I love your brown leather Brahmins! Gorgeous!

I have a Brahmin in the tri color Elisa. The one in praline tri-color .I absolutely love it. Their handbags do not get enough attention. The leather is very nice and thick. I hate thin leather from designer companies. I feel for the price the leather should be thick and durable. I will purchase more Brahmins in the future. I got my mother to finally purchase one. She has the Dakota in toasted almond. Absolutely georgious. I will be carrying my Brahmin for a long while. :)

Call their customer service line. They do have smooth, woven, and saffiano leathers on the site....but outlets, boutiques and customer service will help

Just got this one not sure if it's too old lady looking lol every time all I see are older women looking at the bags 😃
