You don't want to have to contend with ended auctions that are fake.

I got carried away in Kooba obsessiveness!! I have a trigger finger and had too many windows open and hit the BIN by accident(honestly I did). Now she is sending me better pics of all the major areas.. I can get my money back if this is a fake once I get it..

Too many windows open and hit the BIN by accident??? I don't know what you mean. I added some info to my prior response. You probably should not even pay for this bag and try to get the seller to agree with you. Because if you are not sure what is fake or not how will you know once you get it.

Oh my Shewolfy, putting in two offers on the suede Sienna and then hitting the BIN add up to a huge mistake. Take your finger off the trigger and take a rest. Pull out of the deal if you can because it looks fake and like Lexie says, it could seriously affect any sales you try and make on eBay in the future if anyone sees you previously purchased a fake. TAKE OUR ADVICE AND PULL OUT FAST! (try and do so as amicably as possible with the seller)

Even so, the damage is already done. This will show up on her page as a completed auction she bought. I hope this is the only fake you may have purchased.

I really hope that the sienna you bought isnt a fake wolfy.
I agree with Lexie about the tassels being over-long though.
Here's a pic of an authentic one, and you can see that the tassels look thicker and shorter.
Get the seller to send you more pics before you pay.

Oh gosh, ask someone who's been there, it's not as easy as you think if the seller fights it. You have to prove it's fake, which is a pain in the a$$, and an expensive task.

It's much better to be sure before you bid, but I've done the trigger finger thing too, and have been lucky so far. Good luck to you!

shewolfy12 · Sep 15th, 2007, 04:29 PM

I contacted the buyer and said that I've been advised that it's a fake, and that I am not going to be able to go through with the transaction. I have had this happen before where (not a purse) the seller didn't actually have the item with her but had to order it for me and it was going to take a while to receive, so we cancelled the transaction and she was able to re-coop her fees and re-list. I am going to look into that. Talk about drama!!!!!!! Jeez! I was half asleep when I did this..and I had like 5 windows going at the same time and I thought that I was going to be able to confirm before actually buying it.

shewolfy12 · Sep 15th, 2007, 06:20 PM

I just did a little research on the suede Kooba Sienna and the tassels (SP?) are longer than the leather bags. Check out the old Kooba site showing them. Open it up to look at all 3 of the pics..

ladysalesrep195 · Sep 15th, 2007, 06:31 PM

she, that suede Sienna looks bad to me too. Back out of that transaction and pronto, don't pay for a suspect bag, it is too much hassle.

If she gives you bad feedback, so what, you have a chance to recoup in your comment section as to what happened.

Life is too short for bad bags.

shewolfy12 · Sep 15th, 2007, 07:06 PM

Ain't that the truth!!!! I'm not going to pay no matter what. I just hope it works out as I've been a member of ebay for a long time with 100% feedback..

Just a horrifying bag. Horrifying. And what a shame. Someone out there is thinking they're getting a real Kooba....

jchiara · Sep 16th, 2007, 01:43 AM

Please be careful of this Claudia...I have this bag....and this is not looking right in terms of leather...just a very bad feeling about it......plus it only came in a very dark green inside when older and then of course, the lavendar when it was revamped, but there's no mistaking the leather. This is too pebbly...and the inside is wrong...

jchiara · Sep 16th, 2007, 01:45 AM

And she just listed a "cognac" type Claudia also fake.
So she's a fakey. Please beware, k? And "keyword spamming" is sooo not nice saying "Sienna". Snuh...

Wow. Lots of fakes this week on older styles! You are so right about this one. There is also an authentic (if your getting the bag in the pics that is) revamped black Claudia up though it's starting price is a bit high. http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTHENTIC-KOOBA-...QQcmdZViewItem

The leather on this is a great reference as far as comparing fake vs. real.
