I don't know Nunnla-you could go to China...no i really don't know -unless you put your name on all of your pics- ike some sellers do so people will know if they are copied...

[nunnla]

I did just that plus sent a report of suspected fake product, unauthorized use of photos to the website security.

[Alberta Mommy]

I hope that works! I don't know if they actually regulate anything in China as far as fake stuff.

Wow. These people have some nerve. Unbelievable. That guy's customers are going to be in for a shock when they get their bags.

Guess I'll have to open an account on that website and send her an ask seller question to send her a blast to remove my photos immediately. Suggestions?

Call an attorney and ask about this since they were using your photos as advertising without your permission.

I don't really know if this is a fake, but I bet the "Kooba Recommended Seller" description is. I emailed this seller asking how he/she became one, and if she has any certification. No response.

I think the Bonnie pictures look legit, but I'm with you - what is a "Kooba Recommended Seller?"

How quickly do the counterfeiters pick up new styles? For example, the suede Bonnie is pretty new. I'm not sure how fast they would fake that.

I was looking at the massive supply of fakes on iOffer out of curiosity. They did have a black suede Elisha, but the picture was clearly a stock photo from the Kooba site of a very legitimate Elisha. Who knows what they are sending people (and of course they only take money orders, no paypal, etc.) Some of the fake Siennas were pretty funny.

This is very comman. It's happened to alot of sellers I know and I have had my pics stolen (but only to other ebay auctions). Larke...I believe Lninos had her pics used on Ioffer. Maybe you could ask her if she did anything about it. I really should watermark my pics but I'm too lazy.

Why do you think it's fake? It matches up to My Taupe suede Devin. I think it's okay but the Kooba Recommended seller is delusional.

I am sure that the Suede Bonnie is the real thing. Plus, as they have just been released, the fakes havent even been made yet..
I have scoured the fake sites, just to be sure.

I suppose with this last seasons Elisha/Devin/Bonnie styles the fakers might do the plain leathers eventually but I bet they bypass the Suede ones altogether. Suede is not the greatest sellers.

The lavander suede bag just can't get sold but she is a reputable seller and they have made suede bags. I even was told that the White bag with the Gold whipstitching was authentic and a special "Holiday" bag from someone last year. Anyone recall who?

[shewolfy12]

Oh my! I am soooooo off when it comes to fakes. What about this suede Sienna?

Oh My...why did you buy this if you are not sure? I would say this is fake. There is no Sienna made with tassles that long and spindly Plus the auction only has 2 far away pics. The bag seems to pouch out at the bottom in an odd way. Kooba made a rich deep brown suede but never a color like this. This is the only thing the seller has sold and they only have 49 feedback. You should take a step back, take a deep breath and slow down. You don't want to have to contend with ended auctions that are fake.
You really have to worry about fake bags that can be viewed on your feedback as a buyer. When you go to sell on ebay, if you should, potential buyers will look at what you have bought and if there are fakes there...they will not purchase from you because they can't trust you to know a fake from a real bag.
