I love the style and overall quality of every Brahmin product that I have purchased, however after checking the 18 Brahmin handbags and wallets that I own, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM was made in China!!!! I will note that ALL of the Brahmin products that I have were purchased on line on the Brahmin official website or at Dillard's. All of the of the tags that stated the origin of the product with the exception of one was rather small and took some time to locate. I challenge other consumers of Brahmin bags to check their products. I have a suspicion that consumers will not be able to find any products that are made in the USA. On a blog that questioned where their bags are manufactured, Brahmin responded, "At Brahmin we have a long standing dedication to manufacturing in the United States. We are a rarity in our field keeping as much production as possible at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at our headquarters in Massachusetts. We are proud to be an American brand and continue to keep as much of our production as possible here in the USA." My direct question to Brahmin is; What percentage of your products are produced in the United States? I am betting that if they respond at all they will answer this direct, unambiguous question with an indirect, ambiguous answer. As much as I LOVE Brahmin products for their style and quality, as a socially responsible consumer I can no longer purchase their products. The attached picture was the only product that I own where the tag was large and readily visible.

Brahmin handbags can be purchased in multiple locations. Many websites do have them available for sale. If you prefer a physical store you can try going to stores such as Dillard's or Nordstrom.

Brahmin handbags cost anywhere from $95 to $400. You could find them at cheaper prices by buying them used from Ebay or Amazon, or at upper class thrift stores.
Brahim bags are not made with real crocodile. They are made to look like the are embossing the leather in a crocodile pattern. they are high-quality handbags.

I don't have official resources but no handbag from the U.S. product is made there but in China were the labor is cheaper for manufacturing the handbags.
Initially Rebecca Minkoff handbags were made in New York. But, like so many companies, she moved her entire line to China.
