Brahmin Defines Timeless Style

Class, elegance & poise are the descriptives that come to mind when I think of Celia Spiegel.  Who you ask?

Celia was my grandmother who was the veritable embodiment of 40’s / 50’s high style – She always wore a pristine up-do, gloves on her manicured hands & was usually decked out in a floor length mink with the perfect bag to compliment the entire ensemble.

When I saw the Fall / Holiday ‘09 Brahmin collection my mind immediately went to that place where reality triggers such a vivid memory as to make it real again.  My mind was flooded with images of Grandma Celia.  The leather bags resembled those that I envied  in the old pictures that filled the volumes of our family photos.  I wanted them so badly then & wished they hadn’t been lost over the decades.  Now Brahmin has made that vintage memory a reality, but with modern functionality & form.  It was the perfect blend of function & fashion.

With an understanding of fine craftsmanship, Brahmin is of the mindset that beauty is in the details- spending time on more difficult & time consuming stitches that are more aesthetically pleasing and durable, thus adding to the longevity of the bag.  The utility of a purse has always been important, but never in the days of my grandmother did she need so many pockets for such foreign & future-like accessories that today are near necessities.  The interior of Brahmin bags come equipped with pockets for your blackberry, ipod, & digital camera – It’s not just about your red lipstick anymore…

The myriad of shades & perfect assortment of sizes, not to mention pocket pleasing prices are what make the Brahmin Bag the ideal accessory for today’s lady, regardless of her generation.   This family owned company understands the meaning of modern without forsaking the tradition of its heritage. 

Brahmin can be found at major retailers across the US or at www.brahmin.com
