Thank you so much! I have a couple more that I may need help with. My collection has gotten large and I'm doing my best going through them and thinning out... It's tough lol Thank you again.So I had this very bag and found it in a group photo of all my Brahmins from February 2014. I believe it was a late 2000s bag and you can see it in the middle of the sofa with a few friendsDefinitely Eloise Rose.
Adding Again:
I believe the name was Eloise Rose as there was a rose like hanging from it that you can see on the right side.

Hi Everyone! I'm new here. I have a Brahmin bag and I'm not sure if its a fake. Do I post pictures of it here?
Thanks for replying to me. I'm not sure anyone else is watching this thread. Do you think I should start a new thread?
It may be the time of year with vacations and all... They responded to mine super fast... I would say that it couldn't hurt... I'm sorry that I'm not able to help you
It looks to be in good condition. I do not see the gold Brahmin oval medallion in your photos — it usually comes on the bags. Is it just missing from the photo? What about a little tag on the inside in a corner showing the Made in ___ and Brahmin USA. What about a logo or anything on the inside pockets? Are there any words on the zipper pull - that zipper pull is VERY different than any I have ever seen on a Brahmin.
Those are the things I need to see to be able to authenticate it unofficially. I am not an official authentication service or anything - just someone who has owned a number of Brahmins since the 1990s. I recognize this style with the suede at the top and the Melbourne leather at the bottom. It looks good - I would just like to verify the above questions before I give a “final answer”.
I was out of the country when this post first came in so I did not see it again until you replied today. I do watch the thread and try to give my input.
Hello all! I have researching for days on a bag I found for my mom. She would kill me if I ever bought her a new Brahmin. I found this one at a garage sale and hoping you guys can tell me if it’s real. It had a tag inside it but I can’t find anything. I know nothing about the brand but it smells like real leather and I don’t see any flaws in stitching. Thanks for any thoughts on it.

I don't think this bag goes with the tag you have pictured here. I see a similar style via google search referred to as Copa Cabana which is in line with what I was thinking it might be. That said, the bag has all of the hallmarks of a geniune Brahmin handbag.

Thanks for replying. I checked the bag over and there are none of the things you ask for, except a Made in China tag inside. The bag is solid and the stitching looks well done. It has a leather smell.
