The style is correct in that is 'meant' to be a Kooba Victoria, but I do think its a fake as I have seen these in this colour on fake sites. The whipstitching looks sooo off compared to the real deal.

Wait....I don't know that is fake. Isn't it an Emma bag??? Let me go find the pic... The Emma is smaller than a Victoria but the auction doesn't state size. There was a real one in this color up a few months ago. It would help if it had better pics.

Its a 'victoria' because it has four vertical pieces of leather on the sides of the bag, at the top and bottom of the strap design, but Im not so sure if its real or not. Maybe close ups of the leather would help us.

I think that the whipstitching on the ebay one looks a bit flat compared to the one in the link I posted above.

I've never seen this one before, looks like a relative of Scarlett and Sienna. The whipstitching is definitely different from the stock photo, though.

An Ioffer seller. Disgusting to see what some of her completed 140.00 bags brought her.

So sad, there are 4 bids and it's up over $200. Poor unsuspecting people.

The font looks way off on the inside metal plate. I know the "Kooba" has changed a little bit since the first bags and cloth tags inside, but this doesn't look right at all to me.

The whipstitching is suspect. But I half wondered if someone bothered faking a Victoria. I don't think I'd risk this bag but you hate to pass up a real Rarity if it is real.

The classic fake Sienna.

Hey! You guys wouldn't believe what I saw today...!

I was at the mall & walked into Journeys, looking for some shoes, but instead I found a bag that looked exactly like a Kooba Sienna! I was so shocked that Journeys would rip off such a bag. Even the inside has a tag that's stitched with Journeys' name on it. Here's a picture of it... my friend bought it after I repeatedly told her that it was a fake -_- but I'm going to convince her to return it or burn it while she's in the bathroom... LOL

I'm so disgusted with Journeys right now. They were selling it at $60 too! UGHHHHHHH! Talk about frustration!

Definitely nasty - not even good fakes.

It's scary! I think the problem with Ebay is that they don't care about the 'less' expensive bags sold...they are only looking for the fake LV's and Chloe's too bad no one there cares enough to seek these fake sellers out too!
