Thanks! I think I'm okay with that. I'll definitely have to see it in person but I've been on the prowl for a great grey bag, and Brahmin has always been awesome in terms of functionality.

Thinking one of the slouchy styles in smoke and then maybe this beauty too...

I had two brahmin's both the older black ones and sold them I wanted the one with the rose but never got it. Now you have me back on my brahmin hunt. The pics are lovely. I don't hear too much about brahmin but i think thier bags are lovely and great quality.

The Sonny is a great bag too, but I don't carry crossbodies anymore. I have shoulder problems. I just ordered the Delaney Satchel (not the larger tote pictured earlier) in Smoke. It is suede. I am really excited to see it. I know it is very expensive but I just loved it.

Oooh! Please post pictures when you receive it. The Delaney satchel in smoke is on my wish list.

After selling 40 bags, and in the process going over each microscopically, I have to say that Brahmin holds up better than any other brand I own (Coach, Rebecca Minkoff, Tory Burch). Even my laptop bag which likely had a million miles on it was in very good condition.

That said, Brahmin styles hadn't been doing much for me lately so I'd been concentrating more on Coach.

That's until this - that I just could not resist... IMO, the quality and details for the price cannot be beat.

Congratulations! I had the opportunity to see this IRL and it is gorgeous! I just don't need another bag in this color. :(
I am eyeing the Smoke Wilmington. Have you seen that one?

Yes, I'd planned to buy it but when I went to the store it was more brown than I was expecting, so I'm still thinking about it. It's still a gorgeous color, especially on the tri-texture bags, and I highly recommend it. Personally I would have just preferred a little more red tint.

Thank you for replying. I'm trying to find a burgundy/dark wine bag for autumn but so far the colour is closer to brown than red in all the bags I've seen.

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've just started noticing this. Just returned the Sonny Dalton because of dye issues. It had been ordered for me in store, because there were issues with the one on display in store! This is after sending in another Brahmin for repairs last week after the dye starting fading within 6 months on another lightly used bag. I'm pretty bummed as Brahmin is my absolute favorite, but no more Brahmins for me.

I'm sorry to hear that. I have 3 bags and no problems so far, though they are all the croc-embossed leather.
