No. But I've seen them IRL. They are smaller in person than they appear in photos. I haven't tried to see what can fit in them. I might check it out again this weekend.
I love the colors of your Brahmin girls. Seems like you are enjoying using them. I've enjoyed looking at your pictures.
Just a note about figuring out the size of Brahmin handbags.... according to their site they measure the largest dimension. So, if the top of the bag is longer (wider) than the bottom, the dimension listed is the top. I don't have an issue with this, but it helps to know so you can try to figure out how big or small a handbag is gong to be. Dooney measures very differently (they take their measurements of the length of the bag across the base).
What I find is that most Brahmin bags I look at turn out to be smaller than I envisioned.... because the base is smaller in both length and depth than I am used to. I love my Brahmin styles and leather textures and color combinations. I just wish some of them were a little roomier.

I love the copa cabana bags but wish they would make a large tote in it. I have an Elisa satchel and love it and want a small clutch and a large tote but they don't seem to make them.
I didn't care for this year's model. the leather seemed thinner. Is Brahmin going the same way some other brands and cheaping out? I don't buy many Brahmin but they seem to be getting lighter. I don't care if a bag is heavy as long as it is nice leather.

I haven't paid much attention to the leather on the Copa Cabana. Which color are referring to? They did two runs of it. An ivory and a tan. I don't think they would cheapen their leather now because there's been quite a push of getting Hollywood stars to carry them and also being used on numerous TV shows.
Both colors at retail right now for the copa cabana seem thin to me. Are Hollywood stars carrying Brahmin or the copa cabana one? I don't pay attention to Hollywood so not up on that.
Interesting about the copa cabana leather. And yes they are carrying Brahmin I haven't seen them carry the Copa Cabana but they are carrying the Melbourne and topsail leathers.
Just my impression but I don't peruse them often and only have a few Brahmin.
Good to know. I've sold the majority of my Brahmins because I'm moving away from their embossed leather and styles. I still think they're pretty to look at but don't want to buy them. If that makes any sense at all. Lol. I still actively check the website, get the catalog, have contacts with the stores and are in a few Facebook groups but I'm mostly sharing sale info or new items to keep others in the know.
Thank you! I admit I am completely addicted and obsessed by Brahmin right now. Five years ago you couldn’t have given me one. But when the bug bit, oh my, it went clear through to the bone. I still love all my other favorite brands too, but Brahmin is definitely leading the pack right now. Oh, and I did get the sunflower astaire. I’ll post a pic this weekend when I can take it in natural light.I love the colors of your Brahmin girls. Seems like you are enjoying using them. I've enjoyed looking at your pictures.
I have been eyeing this color! I'm in love with it- I want the Asher tote
I haven’t seen the passionfruit in person but it does look beautiful in all the pictures I’ve seen. This is my beloved sunflower Astaire.
