Brahmin handbags.How do I love thee.

Mellie Flap Bag

Let me start off by saying that I am SO tardy for the party. Brahmin has been around for years (since 1982) and I'm just now discovering the beauty of their handbags. Simply put, they are the true definition of timeless style. My affinity with Brahmin not only stems from the fact that the handbags look WAY more expensive than what they cost but also the fact that the family-owned company aims to create high-quality yet completely functional handbags. Brahmin accomplishes this by teaming up with skilled craftsmen. That's right. Craftsmen, NOT machines.

The video below explains the history of Brahmin and provides an insider's view of the manufacturing and construction process. From the selection of the Italian leather to the stitching and attachment of hardware, it is evident that after 25+ years, the Brahmin family remains passionate about the brand and focused on delivering great quality to it customers.

With a price range of $200 - $400, these bags are aesthetically "rich" although they're priced far below that of most luxury brands.

Below are some of my favorites:
