Hi ladies, I'm liking this bag, don't see a whole lot of them, so not sure what to look for other than the zipper pull. What do you think?

She is real and extremely HTF Husky ... this model came in the smaller Taylor and larger Farrah.

This Paige's pebbling looks really funky to me.

I saw this bag too. I just hesitate because she only has 6 feedback. She also has a LV up that I would love to know is real or not. I know Nada about LV. She said in the LV that her friends wanted to buy it from her but she didn't that that was right...so she sells it to strangers? LOL
This bag is either a Taylor or a Farrah depending what size it is. She leaves that part out. But the bag looks good. I'd want to see the zipper pull.

Oooop, just saw that Laura already have you the scoop. Now you have the scoop twice.

I agree with Laura. The leather has large pebbling that seems a little uniform to be real. Here is a pic of the leather on the Bourbon colored one. There is alot of variation all through the bag. No large areas of uniform large pebbling. I realize all bags can vary greatly but that Paige you like is too strange looking to me.

Girls, I need your help!!

I've been obsessed with finding a BLACK Kooba Lucy with lavender lining for months now.

Finally, this one popped up on eBay.

It's only a 3 day sale, with reserve, starting price $100, from a Seller with only 34 feedbacks -- but 100%.

The bag LOOKS beautiful -- but what do I know?

Having a fake would kill me even if it were free.

Could any of you PLEASE take a look and give me your gut feeling??

The subject line simply says "Kooba Lucy Black"

Thanks SO MUCH!!!!! Marianne

Here is the link:

Again, thanks so very very much!

Default Re: Authenticate This Kooba!

she replied to the dispute. her first reply was that she can't believe i think its fake and could i take it to neimans/Saks to get it authenticated. i wrote back saying i already did that and they won't say either way. she responded saying it is real and that she has seen alot of koobas and the leather is the same. she said she doesnt know what to do because she has never had a disatisfied customer and look at her feedback. she said she thinks this is a case of buyers remorse. i told her it is not buyers remorse and that nothing she can say will change my mind. i asked her again for a refund and told her if it was'nt resolved by tomorrow i would have to file a claim. i tried to be as nice as possible but with still getting my point across. now i wait to see what she says. i posted my purse next to the authentic that was posted here on the eBay forum and just looking at them, it has to be fake. so i will probably have to file a claim tomorrow if she does'nt respond......do you think i will win ??

Babygirl,

That tag has always been questionable; I'm not sure if the burden of proof is on her or you, but I'd say her. Paypal seems to side with buyers complaints more than with sellers claims of authenticity.

I would go for it. She is clearly in the wrong by replacing the tag. There's something "funny" about that whole deal. Save the emails she sent you about that fact.

That tag is like nothing kooba ever produced on their retail bags. I think that's your ticket, there.

Hi .. I'm new to kooba and was wondering about this bag. It's a 1 day auction which, to me is odd..

Thanks for any advice!
