Brahmin Handbags
The history of the name Brahmin is interesting, as is the vision behind Brahmin handbags. On the east coast in the late 1800's the term Boston Brahmin referred to a sophisticated socialite from a well-bred family. In 1982, Bill and Joan Martin established their company, Brahmin Leather Works, Inc., with the vision of designing handbags that the modern sophisticated woman would appreciate and desire. Bill Martin's Boston ancestry plays a role in the Brahmin Leather story and its logo.
Founder Bill Martin's many-times-great grandfather, Ambrose Martin, was the captain of a schooner sailing out of Massachusetts. In honor of his ancestry, Ambrose Martin's schooner graces the silver metal logo on each Brahmin handbag. Bill and Joan started the Brahmin line from their home in Massachusetts, but quickly outgrew their home based operation when the Brahmin name took off.
Among handbag connoisseurs, Brahmin means craftsmanship. All handbags are crafted from the highest quality Italian leather and feature a unique aniline finish. Aniline means that the finish and coloring technique teases out the natural beauty of the texture and grain of the leather. Brahmin boasts solid brass hardware, from grommets to studs to D-rings and clips; the hardware is the most long-lasting in the handbag industry. Along with the long lasting hardware and fine leather, the stitching and straps maintain a high standard of strength.
Brahmin Handbags have 208 styles to choose from. Brahmin has one of the most extensive collections in the handbag game. The Brahmin handbag collection is gigantic, but has an interesting system by which to identify and choose your handbag. The specific shape and styles of the handbags range from satchels to totes and are given women's names such as Tera, Kendall, and Emilia. The numerous different and distinct finishes-with names like Burchelli which is a chic tiger stripe design-are used in many different styles. You can order the Sophie bag in the Classic Tuscan finish or a Metallic Toasted Almond finish, depending on what you think is beautiful. The possibilities are endless.
