What do you think of the Ruby style in general. I have not seen it IRL,is it heavy? I like the look of it better than the Duxbury, but keeping Duxbury til Ruby arrives to be sure. No way I am losing this Berry Opal pattern!
Tell me about Brahmin bags please?

Hi there! I'm looking to purchase my first Brahmin bag and I was looking at some used ones for sale. I'm just very wary as to whether they're authentic or not. I read on the Brahmin website that their bags have a chamois leather/suede lining inside. The used one I'm looking at has pen marks on the lining, but I'm more concerned with the look of the material of the lining and the fact that the word Brahmin on the lining seems to have faded/rubbed off in multiple spots. Does anyone who's familiar with Brahmin bags know if the brand name on the lining can fade like that? I've attached a picture. Or is there a thread on here for authentication of Brahmin? (I didn't see one under the list of designers) Thanks!

I like the style of the Ruby much better than the Duxbury. I don't find it heavy. At least not as heavy as an Elisa. Also, I don't carry much... basically just my wallet, a lip balm... and... oh gosh... I really don't carry much of anything!
I really don't think there are fake Brahmin bags. There are lookalikes. I've seen older Brahmins with linings that have literally disintegrated. I've never seen any linings made of leather. They are more like a felt. The newer bags have a jacquard striped lining. Hope this helps!
Gorgeous bag. Congrats! Brahmin has a new leather called Tan Charleston, Tan Savanah and Black Charleston. I ordered Tan Charleston in the Harrison hobo. I'm really intrigued. Will post pics when it arrives.

And I'm in trouble.........that copa cabana print is so darn cute!!! I lucked out though because the Dillards store I was in didn't have either the shoulder drawstring or the med Arno. The Duxbury they had was too small, it wasn't the full size. So I'm still new-bagless for this year but I do believe one of these will be in my collection before too much longer.
I was just at Brahmin's website and looks like they've gotten more things in for Spring. I'm really loving all the new colors! :loves:

Congrats! Look forward to seeing your pics.
Brahmin has beatiful smooth leathers. I wish they made more bags in their smooth leathers.
It's here! OMG. This bag is so soft and lightweight. I like it but think I may need to exchange it. I noticed a couple things that gave me pause. 1) The price on the tag says $295 but in the website is says $315. Of course I was charged the price on the Web but had a promo code, so I didn't pay that price. 2) The dust bag doesn't seem crisp like they are when you first purchase the bag. They aren't deal breakers. I know this is a summer preview with limited quantities, but my biggest concern is the shoulder strap already seems to be broken in. I noticed slight cracking where it has the point at the top. Thoughts? Am I being too picky? I can note these concerns on the comments when I register the bag.

I have no idea why it posted within my reply. Oh well. Here's a picture of the cracking on the seal.It's here! OMG. This bag is so soft and lightweight. I like it but think I may need to exchange it.

That's not like Brahmin. I would contact them. Maybe they can get an exchange out to you.

It seems like you got a slightly worn bag. That's not right. (Also, the difference in the pricing, hmmm..) I would contact them right away about the things you see. When I ordered my Loiuse Rose satchel the rose it self had some cracks in the leather on the stem. I called them right away and they sent me a print out to mail it back to them for free. What stood out to me most was that the CS person was very grateful that I called right away so there were no doubts about the issues coming after the bag was worn. CS was very nice.
Hope it works out
I'm a brahmin lover too and your Ruby is beautiful. I wanted to ask you if you find the zipper difficult to use? thank you
