My first Brahmin bag, it is absolutely gorgeous however the weight is ridiculous.  I only carry very large bags and have for as long as I can remember and I understand quality has weight.  That is not what I'm talking about here.  This bag leaves purple marks on my arm that takes a couple days to go away when I carry it for too long.  I'm talking about blood blisters sort of marks, seriously.  Also, after about 4 months of use the straps started peeling.  I contacted Brahmin and they were fabulous.  They offered to repair them but I have to ship and they'll have the bag for 6 weeks.  I'm a busy mom so I haven't had time to do this and probably won't but it is worth noting that they stand behind their product.  I have the gravel color and the print is to die for.
