Brahmin Bags

brahmin anytime tote

Dainty handbags are lovely in theory–but in reality I need a bag that can handle all my gear and not detract from my style. I’m always hunting for a stylish tote bag that can keep up with my fashion demands and be supremely practical.

This week I’m showing off my newest find from Brahmin. I’m wearing the
Anytime Tote in Cocoa ($198). This fall I’ve traded in my Tory Burch tote for this gem. It’s light and offers all the details that make this busy, working fashionista happy. It fits my laptop, and plenty more while not creating bulk. I love the way this tote has a two-tone look. It works with all my fall wardrobe pieces.

The bag has a snap closure and one interior zippered pocket large enough for a big wallet. For more details visit www.brahmin.com

As far as the rest of the outfit, I’m wearing J Brand Jeans, a new Tahari sleeveless top, a scarf I scored from TJMaxx and from the way back machine (think circa 1999) two pieces from Ralph Lauren–a leather motorcycle jacket and brown riding boots. The items I invested in while I was managing the stores on Madison Avenue have served me well!

Now I want to know what you’ve been wearing! I hope you’ll join the Monday Mingle fun and link up. Each week I team up with Glamamom and BonBonRoseGirls to talk fashion and style. This week Kristin is hosting so head over there and link up!

    Great bag, agree that dainty bags are cute, but simply not practical on a day-to-day basis for most of us.

    • http://momtrends.com Nicole

      I am many things..but dainty is not one of them1

    It was bound to happen and now you’ve made it so. I officially have bag envy! I just love Brahmin and the bag you are modelling is particularly stunning.

    Thinking of you today Nicole! Stay safe, high and dry during this horrible storm :( .

      I’m blogging inside–all is good. And the bag is a keeper.

    I love Brahmin bags – functional, sturdy, and stylish. I’ve been using the Nordstrom Anniversary Brahmin bag as my daily purse and I love it.

    • http://momtrends.com Nicole

      Oh, I’d love to see a picture!

    What a great look, and I LOVE the Brahmin bag. You are so right about dainty handbags!!

    • http://momtrends.com Nicole

      Dainty is good for royalty. But not the Queen of Momtrends.

    What a gorgeous bag! I LOVE the color and you know I must have something that fits all things I need (laptop, phone,…and good heavens, I’m still a mom :) I’m officially envious. Must. track. one. down. Looks fabulous on you!

      Thanks Danielle, we need portable offices!

    I love the entire outfit, I can’t believe that jacket was from 1999! I also like bigger bags where I can fit all of my stuff and not looking like a bag lady with multiple totes =))

    • http://momtrends.com Nicole

      As far as the jacket…I know. I think it retailed for something like $1295 back in the day. I think I got it at 65% off and it’s been a beloved member of my closet since then.

    Well now I have something to add to my Chistmas wish list! I love the Hobo Bag in the same Cocoa color you have. Such a versatile color – perfect for fall. Love.

    • http://momtrends.com Nicole

      I’m really happy with the color. It goes with everything!

    I caught this on a pic you posted on Facebook and commented then because I loved the look. Reading how practical it is over here makes me love it more. When style meets functionality, it makes my kind of bag!

    Love Brahmin bags. Wish I could afford them. So chic

  • http://www.classymommy.com ClassyMommy

    GORGEOUS bag. I’m dying for one. It is beautiful and the perfect way to dress up anything – even my sweats when I’m running around with the kids. And you look great too! xo

    You know I love me a good bag! Your new Brahmin is fab. I’ve never had one but I’m seeing them more and more and I love their polish. Very lady-like.
