Thanks! I almost bought a peacock bag during the last sale but the bag I was considering, Shea, had bad reviews concerning the access, like the pocket was too tight and the zipper scraped your hand.
This is my conundrum with Brahmin. When I've had smaller bags, I haven't like them. Because Brahmins are so stiff, smaller bags don't hold as much as I need and don't stretch to accommodate, and I do find they scrape my hand as I go in. But then larger bags are so large! The medium Duxbury, like @Luvpurplepurses , is the best size and style I've found for my needs.
 
I bought this mini Duxbury preowned that opens wide enough to not scratch your hand. It also has a full length slip pocket on the back. This color is called seaglass and I took it on our last cruise. It was the perfect size. I'm not a crossbody fan put loved this little bag. My understanding is they don't make this size any more.

It's like carrying a peacock! Love the colors. Mesmerizing.
The multi labyrinth is gorgeous! I ended up returning it because it is almost the same as multi manifesto and I didn't need two bags with the same colors.

Also, if anyone has tried or is considering the small Georgina, I returned that one too because it caved in weird on the sides.

I can't look! I'm a Doonyista but the Brahmin colors - oh my some of them are SO pretty..
I know what you mean! I'm trying to keep a ceiling on how many bags I have, and I decided a while ago to not have so many Brahmin bags because I wanted to explore other brands. So I just don't even go to the website, because it's too tempting. The colors are mesmerizing.

I gave in and ordered the Royalty Ombre Melbourne Small Nadine :smile:
Nice choice!
