What do you think about this one? The font looks totally fake to me.

That's a gorgeous clutch & though I'm not 100% positive the older Kooba's weren't faked, I think it looks real-the lining looks good. I have one of a different style with the same lining in red.

It's sold with BIN; It looked good, not familiar with the seller.

I agree...it's neat older clutch. No one is going to bother faking the lining and logo of a 5 year old plus bag. Actually I haven't seen any fake clutches from any year. Has anyone else?

You won't believe how soft and distressed this pink leather became after a few days use. It's wonderful. I sprayed it with Wilsons and it repeled Italian Salad dressing!
The Kim is a little more structured than the Alex. The Alex is quite a roomy bag despite it's looks but looks great with less in it as it slouches. My vote would be the Alex if you can only have one.
Maybe write Linda and ask if she'd sell it to you for a 250 BIN???

YIPPEE... "Kim will now be joining Alex!! (for a mere $123.50)
Thanks for your help Lexie....Now... about that purse ban of mine!

Kooba Paige Handbag

Item #: 160115320342

It looks like she changed the description. It may have said Bourbon becuz she has an older Sienna listed & lists the color as Bourbon. I'm curious what some have to say about her Sienna. It looks a lot like the one I bought a few weeks ago and the consensus was split - -Half thought it was authentic, half thought it was fake. I went w/my gut which said authentic cuz I don't think these older bags w/fabric lining were faked nearly as much as today's bags, and certainly not as well, and there's nothing that screams FAKE to me.

Anyone else have any thoughts on her Sienna?

HOW CUTE..

. didn't know that Alex had a little sister.. Faydra - if you get her we'll have to get together for a "family portrait" LOL!!

Lexie: GOT THE SCARF!!! I didn't realize when I asked you about it that it was for breast cancer.... so that message etc.. is just an added bonus - I'll be PROUD to display it with Alex!! (can't wait for them to arrive next week!)

Are black Sienna's still sold, or am I out of luck (aside from eBay)?

I would pass that up. The pics are terrible but the leather does not look right and that Kooba tag is attched by a plastic tie. No side pic of the zipper. Seller has OK feedback but Unless you get some good pics of the leather and zipper I wouldn't touch it. The leather looks pebbly. Here is mine. Check out the leather.
P.S. The Black is gone from kooba.com now too.
