Handbag PR: Brahmin

In the 1800’s, the term Brahmin indicated high social standing, wealth or influence. Today, Brahmin handbags have come to embody the essence of those standards in the form of luxury handbags. Since 1982, the New England based company has come to represent timeless, high-quality accessories that compliment the contemporary sophisticate. Brahmin handbags aim to “redefine the classics”, and the croc-embossed leather handbags complimented by solid brass hardware don’t disappoint. Made from the finest Italian leather, these stylish bags are enough to make any woman salivate. It’s hard not to immediately fall in love with the Dagny & Daphne collection. Featuring structured totes, the goal of this line is to transition seamlessly from day to night. The larger version of the tote has the functionality of a typical hobo bag, with the sophistication of the Brahmin name. Another favorite is the Melbourne collection – especially the jewel-toned Amethyst and fiery crimson Mandarin lines. These collections feature ever-popular crossbody and shoulder bags, and drip with sophistication. Aside from handbags, the brand also offers a wide range of accessories, including wallets, cosmetic cases, and key rings. My personal favorite is the Lipstick Case from the Classic Tuscan Collection. Lipstick cases are a chic, often underappreciated accessory that makes putting on lipstick so much more glam. Retailing at only $35, it’s a great way to buy into the brand, even if you’re on a tight budget. Because the leather and solid brass hardware is of the most superb standards, the price point is a bit high --- the base retail price for most handbags starts at about $295. Reasonably so, because the purses are designed to last. Just think of it as a very fashionable investment! If you like to stand out, Brahmin bags are a fabulous alternative to more-recognized brands like Coach or Longchamp, without the price tag that comes with Chanel. With so many different styles and finishes to pick from, there’s slim chance that you’ll run into another woman with the same handbag.
