Authenticate This Kooba

I think I'm going to send her a message with a BIN offer of $320. Do you think that would be a pretty good deal?

If she doesn't accept the 320 I would go ahead and use the BIN of 350. Gorgeous bag and a totally realistic BIN considering it's condition and lack of availability.

Can anyone help me out with these questions. A friend has asked me if a Sienna she has bought is real. I have NO idea as I have not seen a Kooba other than my Charlie.

It has the lavender lining, but there is NO made in China label in it. All the pockets have been turned inside out, and none to be found?

The only thing I could think of too check against, was measurements of Kooba plates, and zip pull etc and even size of the zip. The measurements of the sienna are exactly the same on my Charlie.

It was in a white fleecy type dust bag. Mine was in a canvas type brown bag, which is probably similar to the lining on my Charlie.

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

This looks real to me. I don't think they got around to knocking off the embossed Siennas and Scarletts. Probably too much work for them!

If you can get her to take some pictures, that will be helpful. I know for my Sienna it came in a white dust bag.

It's hard to do without seeing it. I would think it would have a tag inside. Did the earlier Sienna's not? Anyone know? And about the dustbag....the fleece white is what was used until just recently. The newer bags just started coming out with the brown one. The first I saw this was last fall.

Looks good to me too. They photgraphed that bag so well.

I've just found this one, in the UK. Very unusual.

What do you think of this Sienna. Also, price???

EBay Item Number 290106456652

Thank you very much.

Nope, I wouldn't recommend that bag. There are a few things wrong with that Sienna and she's also got very bad Dior Gaucho's listed for BIN of $459...

This just looks so fake. It has a plastic-y shine to it. The main clue to it being fake is the evenly pebbled leather. There is no natural variation.

Nope, this is the place to be. Did we miss your original post?

EDIT: Never mind, I see it. It's been a long time since I've seen an Ada in real life... Is there any way you could get some pics in bright, natural lighting? It's a little hard to see the details of the bag from the pics you've posted. Also, one pic that would be helpful would be a close-up pic of the zipper pull on the inside pocket (one that shows it from the side rather than straight on).

Baby girl...I did look at your pics. Truthfully the quality of pics with them being so dark and grainy make it impossible to see the issues we need to see. We need to see clear pics of the leather quality, and a side view of the inner zipper. It would be much easier for your to post the auction number from ebay or wherever you got this bag so we can see it for ourselves. Alot more goes into authenticating. The price you paid and the sellers feedback. Can you give us this info? Maybe we can help you.
