They weren't even popular or well known at the time. The inside linings ranged from a solid color with the Kooba sewn in tag to a wide range of striped and florals. I may have some pics of old Koobas. I'll look.

Thanks for the info Lexie. I guess the fabric tags I have seen were a little bit later in Kooba's early days. You learn something new every day!

thank you all!!! That B&W is a really fun bag - and I had no idea that Kooba's history included such funky little bits.

Is there a good resource online where I can look up more about these older bags?

How do these koobas look? Originally like the yellow, but the browns more "functional"....
What do you think?...

I personally LOVE the nelli! I have it in yellow and it's amazing! The leather broke in really fast and it's just wonderful.

I'm sorry but it is Fake. They never made a Green Sienna. Contact the seller and tell her you are returning it. Keep your reciept and Delivery Confirm papers to prove it was accepted.
