Hi everyone! I hit another Dillards Brahmin sale today. :D Select Brahmins (my store had about 20 bags) were 50% off! There was another rack that the SA told me had just been marked down 30%.

50% off colours included: Angel Fish, Star Fish, Copa Cabana, Corsica, Smooth Gold, Lyon, and a few others I can really recall. I did see lots of brightly coloured Brahmin wallets about 30% off. My store had lots of Norahs, All Day Totes, and Louise Rose bags at 50%.

I got the White Lyon Norah bag I saw on here a few weeks back for $187.50!!! :wlae:It is BEAUTIFUL in person. I had to go back an hour later because my mom wanted the same exact bag. xD
The white Lyon Norah was NOT out on the floor but rather in the back for 50% off. I'm glad I asked because I almost settled with the Norah Corsica blue.

Also: Brahmin Samsung Galaxy S3 cases are half off! Didn't check other types since I own a S3. All styles of S3 were clearanced.

I have been carrying the blue version of this Norah all Spring/Summer, and I LOVE it...I will be sad putting it away for Fall, but I did just order the Hudson Creme Muse to dry my tears! ;)
 
Where are all the Brahmin lovers lately? :smile1:

An oldie but a goodie... Tri-color (I forgot the style name - does anyone know??) is helping me transition into autumn, even though I'm in complete denial about summer being over. :pout::cursing:

I've been a long time fan of Brahmin bags and own several. My latest purchase was a pre-loved smooth leather satchel off eBay and now that's in front of me...I suspect it's a fake.

I did contact the seller and voiced my concerns but she/he swore it was authentic and a bag she bought herself from an upscale department store several years ago. Right afterwards, I suffered a pretty debilitating MS relapse and forgot all about the bag after putting it away in the closet.

I took it out yesterday and my suspicions worsened. I found a sub forum here on tpf and asked for authentication and the response was red flag after red flag. Fark! I'm so bummed since it's too late to file a case against the seller...and Paypal's new six month dispute policy had not yet taken effect so I'm just out of luck and stuck with this bag.

Thanks for letting me have my mini rant. Lesson learned...no more pre-loved Brahmins. I'll head straight to Dillards. lol
 
I went in to get the black, woven Norah during their 25% off event in August and came out with the teal (navy to me) Norah and this black Trina. Love them both!!!

You are so lucky to have a boutique handy! I only get to visit Dallas a couple of times a year, otherwise it's Dillard's for me. But the Dallas boutique staff is awesome about letting me know about sales and events.

In fact, they had an event the other night so I ordered a carmine Trina at 20% off and an anywhere convertible in fig normandy at 40 + 20 off :D Can't wait to see the carmine - I haven't seen it in person yet. Should be here tomorrow!!

Wow, I never really thought of Brahmin as being popular enough to inspire fakes :no-good: that being said, I don't know enough to know if yours is authentic or not, but it's really pretty and looks to be good quality. Enjoy it and don't worry too much.
 
I think you're right. I did run across the name Adora in my research but didn't realize that was the name of a collection not the style. That explains why I kept coming up with satchels when searching the name.
