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.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.
