Tell me about Brahmin bags please?

I won't be buying from Brahmin any more this year because I'd like to explore other brands, and my small bag collection is already Brahmin-dominated. But I do like the Emmett style, like in this Ruby Ombre. Feels very retro, like something from the 40s, and I love that decade's fashion. I could wear it with some Mary Janes and my hair in a tuck-and-roll on an evening out. And each Ruby Ombre bag style comes with a really pretty special edition dust bag that's ruby with a croc-embossed print on it, since it's their Ruby anniversary.

I also love the jacquard bags. I'd love the big tote, it's big enough for a full size laptop. And the Ady wallet in the jacquard is to die for too

Though I do wonder about the bottom. Anyone have one of these Merediths? Is the bottom just soft fabric? Also, would it be hard to clean?
 
Thread needs more pictures. Let me share! Brahmin, Small Nadine, Retro Jungle.

I have mixed feelings about this bag. It's so cute, and it's the only bag I have in this green/blue colorway (except for one that is blue/gray). It goes really well with denim, which I wear a lot. Of my bags, it's the best with denim. But, it's too little. This bag actually carries less than it looks like it would, because it's very structured and stiff, so it doesn't really give or expand. And it tapers at the top. It tapers so much that you are likely to scrape your hand a bit getting in and out of it. I got it 5 months ago and still am deciding how I really feel about it.

I’m a Brahmin lover who has not visited here in quite some time. Did anyone else buy from the online outlet sale?

I’m awaiting delivery of this staple piece.
What is the name of your piece? It has really nice lines. I didn't even know it was going on. I can see if I go into a specific style that some colors are on sale, but is there a link to the sale itself? Like, everything that is on sale? Also, when did it start (the sale)?

This one is a Marianna. It is sold out now.

I think the sale started Friday, and goes through today. https://www.brahmin.com/online-outlet

I just discovered a mall's Macy's in my area carries some Brahmin in store! I don't know how long they've done so, as it's not the closest mall so I don't generally shop there (actually, I don't shop at malls), but I was there yesterday and decided to take a look in Macy's. This is the only place I've seen in my area that has Brahmin bags in the store. They seem to be more in the US South, and some in the West.
