BRAHMINREWARDS is our free U.S. loyalty program that rewards you for shopping (talk about a win-win). Earn one point for every dollar you spend on Brahmin.com and redeem them for exclusive discounts. Even better? You'll score points for writing reviews, referring your friends, and connecting on social media (make that a triple-win).

Easy. All you have to do is create an account by visiting Brahmin.com and clicking, “Account” (told you it was easy). BRAHMINREWARDS is free to join—meaning, no sneaky minimum-spending amount required.

All BRAHMINREWARDS members are eligible for a birthday gift. You’ll accrue additional perks as you build up your tier status.

The points you receive towards Rewards will expire after twenty-four (24) months. BRAHMIN will always apply the oldest points towards any Reward you redeem regardless of tier. For full program details, visit brahmin.com/loyalty-terms-of-use.html.

Transactions that can earn points (“eligible transactions”) include all purchases of merchandise on Brahmin.com (excluding merchandise shipped outside the United States) and Brahmin Boutiques. Purchases for gift cards, e-gift cards, and gift services will not be eligible for rewards points.

If an item is returned, the points earned for that purchase will be deducted from your account. If the returned purchase had qualified you to enter a new tier status, that will also be forfeited. But your next qualifying purchase will bump you back up!

If rewards dollars are used for the order, the value of your rewards dollars will not be returned if you make a return.

We ask all BRAHMINREWARDS members to use a single email address for all transactions on Brahmin.com to ensure you receive points for every purchase. For questions or concerns, please email our Customer Service team at customer_service@brahminusa.com.

At Brahmin, we want your handbag to feel comfortable and fit your style. Most of our straps are adjustable to create a desired strap drop length. Follow the simple instructions below to adjust your strap as needed. You may also CLICK HERE to watch a video detailing the steps to adjust your strap.

1. Start by sliding the leather loop over the collar button to the opposite side of the strap. Force the button out of the strap hole (there is a small slit above the hole that may need to be pried open a bit to help remove the button).
2. Bring the end of the strap up to the hole where you would like to adjust it. Our basic strap will allow you to double over the entire strap for a much shorter, shoulder bag look.
3. Push the button through the hole, and slide the leather loop back over the collar button to where the strap now attaches to the handbag. Adjust the opposite side of the strap if needed.

If you need assistance or have any questions about adjusting your strap, call Repairs at 1-800-229-2428.
