My bags came today. The mother of pearl finish is as beautiful as I expected. The Katie is a keeper. All my stuff fits without looking lumpy. I was able to adjust the strap to the shortest and it will work. Boy, those are really hard to adjust! I guess now that I have it where I want it, I'll never move it. I didn't completely unwrap the Lorelei. It's a cute little bag and fits more than it seems it would but I don't like tiny bags with short straps.
Tell me about Brahmin bags please?

I'm still thinking whether I should punch holes on my strap. I just don't know how to do the punch and slit at the same time. Do I need a special tool? Would a cobbler have it so I can just take it to one?
If everything else is good about the bag, I would have holes punched. A cobbler would probably do it better than you could. Make sure you go to a good one. At the shortest setting I have a 22 inch drop.
Everything else is good! Thanks for the encouragement! I was gonna pack it up but I am going to keep it after all!
Hey Brahmin lovers- I got the new style, Elaine, in Cappuccino Ombré. It’s a beaut and a keeper.

That's pretty! How do you like Brahmin smooth leather?
It seems of good quality - I would compare it to Michael Kors/ Higher end coach bag quality. The stitching it nicely done and it feels like this will last/ durable. Its my first smooth leather from them. I will let you know how it stands up.
This is beautiful. What size laptop fits in it? Can you post a picture of what all can fit in it? I'm in the market for a new work bag when I go back into the office in June.
ETA: I looked at the video online but they only showed a Macbook and a wallet.
So it fit my chromebook thats 16 inches (sideways only), the laptop charger, my LV wallet, my Channel sun-glass case, notebook, pens, post its, and jewelry bag where I keep my engagement ring and wedding band if I know my hands will get dirty. It could have probably fit a makeup bag in there or a clutch as well and it closed nicely. I will say, the laptop made the sides puff a bit - not noticeable but it wasn't inward like it was designed to be. There is also no shoulder strap. But the hand straps did feel like it could handle the weight of it. I have attached photos, I have a video I could message you - I don't think I can post videos on here

Oh Oh, here is my google link for the video. I am not sure why I called my jewelry bag a makeup bag...I am tired 
Thank you so much for the photos and bonus video! It fits a good amount. My laptop is only 13inches so it should have enough space.Oh Oh, here is my google link for the video. I am not sure why I called my jewelry bag a makeup bag...I am tired
Just found this thread and this brand. Oh wow I'm going to have a good browse in a bit, the croc embossed leather looks gorgeous!
I just ordered my first Brahmin - wanted the Mother of Pearl but that is sold out so I found out they brought back a color called "wonderland" which is very similar to MOP - cant wait to get it!
