Love this! And what a bargain. I have the same style (Trina) in black nepal and use it a lot.
Glad you posted this.
I've always lusted after the Brahmins, but have been disappointed with them the last couple of years. I'm noticing the newer, pre-owned bags on eBay have issues... it appears, to me, that the older bags were actually made from a dyed leather, whereas the new bags (probably within the last 10 years or so) appear to be a "painted" leather... and it's coming off of the handles. I haven't seen that at all with the older bags.
Also, it looks like they used brass hardware on the older bags. The newer bags are just a gold-tone metal. That gold finish wears off. Big dissapointment.
They are still beautiful bags, but the quality just isn't there anymore.
Absolutely gorgeous! Love it with your pecan accessories.
Beautiful! That blue is amazing.
What a deal! Congrats
I have 20+ Brahmins currently and have probably had 60+ total and have only ever had issues with a wallet (2006?) and a coquette vermeer (2014). The color on the wallet rubbed off and the white on the vermeer almost looked like it melted and ran down in spots. I switch bags often so no one is used all that much but I do not baby them a bit and the newer Brahmins seem to be holding up just as well as the old in my experience.
I bought a Brahmin phone case in early October. I didn't have high hopes for it but I loved the color (Carmine) so I bought it anyway. I figured the color would rub off the corners quickly and the leather would peel, but it still looks perfect and is surprisingly protective. I'm getting ready to order one in Sapphire Majestic

My husband gave me a Brahmin iPad case about two or three years ago and I'm really surprised and pleased that the leather has held up so well. Especially considering how much I handle it after I've just applied lotion on my hands. Hmmm... Maybe it's the conditioning treatment from the hand lotion?
Personally, the only real issue I've had is with the hardware losing its color.
The following is a photo from an eBay listing that I recently came across. Look at the handle.
I love Brahmin, and I know the care card does state something about exposing the bags to certain things like lotions, but damn, I'd be pissed if I spent good money on a bag and have the handles end up like that.

Does your wallet fit in that large side zipper? Brahmin has some small wallets. Maybe one of those would fit.
I love the Pecan. Can't ever go wrong with that color.
No way would my wallet fit. I'd have to buy a small one just for this tote. I guess I'll see how much I like the tote once I can see it in person.

Thanks. I hadn't received any info from the SAs I'd been working with in the Dallas store.
Hmm... maybe they don't think I need to buy anything since I went a little over board in October. LOL
I had a different SA in early October than late October. I, too, went overboard with the sale. I am not sure I need anything from this sale but you never know.
