The 30% off is additional on top of all previously reduced merchandise. Today was just for cardholders, tomorrow everyone can get it.

The 25% off is on full-price. The only brands I noticed were Coach and Brahmin but someone in another thread said it's all bag brands.

I have one Brahmin - the Louise in purple croc and the croc was cracking when I received it. I bought it NWT on Ebay. I wasn't impressed with the quality, but the designs are very pretty. maybe, I just got a dud - but I don't think I will want another Brahmin anytime soon.

I have about 20 currently and have had another 25 or so at various times and have never had a bag issue I wouldn't attribute to normal wear (wallets seem to wear quickly though). And I don't baby my bags. I'm sorry this bag from eBay soured you on the brand. It's hard to say what the history was even if it was NWT. Should one catch your eye in the future remember that if you buy from an authorized retailer and register online you get a two year warranty. :)

I got my first Brahmin in 1995 or 1996. It was a smooth brown schooner bag on clearance from Dillards. I was hooked and have been buying them ever since with my most recent purchases being from the outlet in December. All have been excellent leather quality.

I had an issue with a new bag. The first day I carried it I noticed it had a few small tears, just where the leather was folded, the leather on the veining of the croco embossing had tore all the way, it was a little tear but anyway. The leather on the bag felt kind of dry, so I'm guessing because of all the lights on the store it got dry. It was one of my first Brahmins so I was not familiar with them. I did not know that Brahmin bags should be moisturized regularly. I think it's mentioned on the Brahmin tag, I think it says it should be moisturized before carrying it for the first time. I use the Brahmin moisturizer and it really changes the feel of the leather. I think if this is not done often, the leather might get too dry and crack.


Have not had any other problem with them, so I keep buying them. I just got 2 more.
