Every time I think of getting a black bag I keep on coming back to the Brooke (although I think it looks great in the cream colour too) but a bit worried about the weight. I have a Blenheim in the Darwin leather - I think it is a similar size? If it's a similar weight I think I'd be okay but if it's heavier perhaps not!

Thank you... I know I've not been around for ages...been off having a baby :lol:

Brooke is a brilliant little bag! If anything, it holds a little more than the Blenheim and the good news is that it's not as heavy. It's beautifully versatile too cos you can unclip the chain and attach a longer strap if you have one, to wear it x-body. Good luck finding one!

Hi there's a brooke on the fashion bloodhound site but it's in oak and I think you said you wanted a black one. Congratulations on your new baby.

Brooke is a great little bag, I love the chain but that's the heavy bit. I mostly wear mine with a longer strap cross body without the chain and wouldn't call it heavy at all.

I have the Chocolate version, I am so glad I have hung on to it as it's lovely to still have a Darwin leather bag. It's also a great shape for accessing everything, although it doesn't hold that much

I will weigh mine tomorrow with and without the chain if that's a help

Doesn't sound like it is overly heavy then. Thank you.

That is a gorgeous example isn't in Moo? Wasn't there when I was looking yesterday.

Thanks for the bag porn Mulberrygal lol. If you could weigh it for me that would be excellent.

Hi Peony, sorry for the delay, had a horrendous couple of days and work, just trying to unwind :Pullhair:I did actually weigh my Brooke but totally forget to post a reply

About 400 grms without the chain and about 560 with. My Alexa clutch weighs about 600 grms so would say the Brooke is quite a light weight especially without the chain.

I would take the chain of if I planned to walk far but otherwise it looks really good hanging at the front when you add a long strap. I have a chocolate Mulberry one but it's far more comfy with the wider webbed version in my pic.

I think the Vanilla one on EBay looks gorgeous, lovely versatile colour.
