Luckily I didn't see anything I couldn't live without! On their non sale items I am so tempted by the Stacy Emeral Greenvale Satchel. Has anyone ever bought one of their bags in Ostrich?

I didn’t see anything I had to have in the sale. Actually, I haven’t bought a Brahmin in a couple years. I’ve downsized my collection a lot. The Emerald Greenvale color is beautiful! I thought about getting it in the Stacy or the Mod Shayna but decided to wait.

I’m thinking of getting a Spencer. I have the Duxbury Weekender in color Cotton Candy and I think it’s so pretty, but it’s quite heavy. I’d like a smaller duffel for carry on. Dillard’s has one on sale that I like. But I’m not sure I want to go through the hassle of selling the bag I currently have. I can’t keep two big leather duffels.

I really am enjoying my Brahmin bags as a break from Coach. The medium Duxbury size is perfect for my needs and is so user friendly. I have 3 my most recent is Visionary which is stunning IRL. I splurged on the Stacy satchel in Cocoa Goldspur and love using this style. The Emerald Greenvale caught my eye and I am so tempted I might sell my favorite Rogue 25 to add it to my collection! my only complaint is the shoulder strap could be a little wider.

I love the medium Duxbury too. It's the perfect size. I only have 1, but it's great. I have 2 large Duxburies and they are kind of too big. My mother got me the first as a gift (that's probably the bag the started this whole bag obsession) and since I was so enamored of it, when I wanted another bag, I went to just go look at the same type of bag. But it's really a tad too big.

But selling your favorite Rogue?! Are you sure you won't regret it? Rogue is not my style of bag, but most people who have them seem to love them.

Thought turned to action quickly and I ordered this bag a few hours after I posted here. It came the very next day! It's the Brahmin Spencer in color Spellbound. It's very nice, but it's too small. I wanted it to be able to carry at least 2 changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a pack of toiletries. I placed in 2 clean changes of clothes and already it was packed totally full. I might be able to super squeeze what I want in, but I'm not interested in doing that. I've already repacked it to go back. Some in life pictures if anyone's interested, including next to my Duxbury Weekender in Cotton Candy

It's a pretty color. I think this style would be too big for me to use as a purse.

Still haven't worn these. Put them on a table to take the pic when they first arrived, and still haven't taken them down. They make me smile when I walk in the room and see them. :love: :love: :love: A couple friends from church stopped by a couple weeks ago and commented that they liked that I was using items I loved as unconventional - very personalized - decor.

More beautiful new patterns from Brahmin. I didn't care for Katie when I tried it on as a style, but I'm loving it for this different embossing they have, with croc in the middle and floral on the side (multi esplanade)

Also loving this top handle, Hallie in Saltwater Taffy Bungalow:

I don't love Katie but they make so many patterns in it and it is so reasonably priced.

I love the colors on the trim of the Hallie.

Lately I've been thinking a red Brahmin would be pretty.
