A luxury handbag boutique is opening its first Raleigh location
A luxury handbag company is opening its first Triangle store.
Brahmin, a company specializing in luxury handbag and leather goods, will open a 1,200-square-foot location at the Crabtree Valley Mall in February 2024.
There are 10 outlet and boutique stores listed on the Massachusetts-based company’s website. This would be the second North Carolina location. The first is located in Charlotte at the SouthPark Mall.
“Brahmin has a loyal customer base in North Carolina – we opened our first boutique in Charlotte in 2015,” said Susan Thacker, Brahmin CEO, in a statement to The News & Observer. “We have many customers in Raleigh experiencing Brahmin through our website, and we saw a fantastic opportunity to serve our customers by bringing our newest store concept to Crabtree. With our new boutique in this prestigious location, consumers will have the opportunity to engage with Brahmin like never before – we’ll offer limited-edition collections, unique and VIP shopping opportunities and more. We’re elated to welcome our customers and community to join our iconic brand.”
Brahmin offers a variety of handbags and accessories in different colors, styles and textures. Its signature is the Melbourne, or leather embossed to mimic crocodile skin, and the company offers other animal-inspired embossed leathers including snake, lizard and ostrich. Bags on the company’s website range from under $100 to nearly $500.
“We are thrilled to add the Brahmin luxury line to our dynamic retail merchandise mix, the largest in the Southeast with over 200 stores and restaurants” said Debora Overholt, general manager of Crabtree Valley Mall, in a news release. “Brahmin will be a wonderful new addition.”
