I can be an enabler and tell you to keep both. Different color and the croc patterns. Can you tell I've been in this situation before?
Tell me about Brahmin bags please?

Beautiful! I've been wanting something in Cocoa. Did you notice any others in that color that looked nice? They were also supposed to be holding a mini duxbury in chive and berry monarch for me, but their Internet had been down.
Haha! I already told DH I was keeping both. I just bought a Botkier bag in September and now these two. I'm not one to spend $700 on handbags in the span of a year, let alone a month! I'm just going to say, I deserve to treat myself and chill for the rest of the year!;

I'm not trying to be a party pooper here. I have loved Brahmin and only owned one before, but I work in a dept store where we carry and sell Brahmin and have noticed some serious quality issues here lately. Even just them coming off the truck/ shipped with damages already.
The croc/ leather peeling off the nylon in the wallets, zippers messing up/ getting stuck, unraveling threads, and the Brahmin logo plates being crooked.. just some stuff I never thought I'd see out of Brahmin. People returning some lately due to edge coat coming off and unraveling straps.
Anyone else notice anything?
Just wanted to make a post, also to say I'm having my doubts about paying retail for one, until I know their quality is more stable.

I love the Hudson because it has two handles and how they attach. The other r one is more like a hobo' you have to decide which style best works for you. Both are beautiful.
Thank you!!!
Yes - there were quite nice a few that they showed me. I did not pay attention to their names though - sorry!
SG, how do you like the new handles with the buckle? I'm thinking about getting the tobacco Carlisle in this style but I'm leary of the handles because they stand up.
I hate them. Absolutely hate them. Not only do they stand up, but the angle of the buckles makes the handles lean over the top of the bag - you can see that in the pic. It's gotten a little better with me trying to train them to stick straight up but it's still pretty bad.
That being said, they wouldn't deter me from buying another of this style if I really loved the color. It's a good size bag and has become a frequent go-to, especially since the creme carlisle goes with everything.
I received the Arden in the Tobacco last Thursday. OMG, it's beautiful. In the store I saw the Medium Arno tote in Tobacco, equally stunning.
Thanks. You confirmed my suspicion. I only have one purse with handles like that. It doesn't bother me too much as they don't lean over the top, but I prefer them to fold down.
Congrats! I ordered the Duxbury in the Tobacco. They really are beautiful. I may break down and get something in the Creme Carlisle, then I'm definitely on a ban.
Did you get this yet? I saw this for the first time last night when I was online and fell in love!
I am inclined to agree with you. I bought a Brahmin tote at their store in Southampton, NY about five years ago in a beautiful shade of fuchsia. It was very functional and I got many compliments on it. Still have it, looks new after a good amount of daily use over a number of summers. When we moved last year and I purged my closet I couldn't bring myself to part with it. It's nicely broken in, very functional and I will use it again at some point. I regret parting with my original style Coach bags in the early 2000s and didn't want to make the same mistake with this.
I recently bought a new Brahmin Duxbury satchel, and while it's beautiful to look at, it does not seem to be the same quality leather. It is very stiff and the handles squeak, which drives me crazy and says cheap to me.

I got it and it's gorgeous! It arrived just as I was headed out of town and I haven't even totally unwrapped it yet. I'll have some pics later this week.
Great selection!Ooooooo - Brahmin lovers and dog lovers, I'm in heaven! Found this forum while searching for other Brahmin lovers. I have six dogs (no particular breed, all off the side of the road, though I loooove collies) and 21 Brahmins. Here is my Brahmin collection, and a pic of my newest baby, just brought her home today!!
