Anyone see the new Layla? It is a gorgeous framed satchel. I love it but can’t decide if it is too dressy for everyday wear. Any thoughts?
I do love the frame bags but I have to admit, they don’t work as an everyday bag for me. And I don’t have a framed bag kind of life. I have one Coach that I waffle on selling, but I’ve learned to admire them and leave them.
 
This is gorgeous! Really different from what I associate Brahmin with.
Thank you! Less than 10 years ago you couldn’t have given me a Brahmin. I didn’t like the croc embossed leather. The smooth bags were all right but they didn’t really do it for me either. Then something happened inside my head one day when I looked at a Brahmin snow leopard bag, and it has been an obsession ever since. I prefer them to any other designer now, including the luxury brands. Not that I would turn down an LV or Chanel, but Brahmin is my first choice of any :)

Apparently there's a lilac version of the Duxbury coming out in April.

I already own the small duxbury in 3 colours but it's such a light weight, discreet, and classical bag. Perfect for taking it to work when logos are a no-no.
 
Y'all have any favourite haircalf Brahmins? I have an older Mimosa in Camel Leopard that I adore and I wish Brahmin would bring back that kind of style. It was gorgeous.

Also, I've noticed an increase in Brahmin fakes. :( Found some on a marketplace site that looked questionable, sent pictures of them in to Brahmin customer service and it was confirmed that they were fakes.
