Authenticate This Kooba

jlp · Aug 17th, 2008, 01:54 PM

Any opinions? Thanks.

jojon21 · Aug 17th, 2008, 05:03 PM

What concerns me about this one is the inside zipper pull. The zipper pull on my cream Scarlett is the regular Kooba engraved metal pull. Lexie, or anybody else have an opinion on this one?

Forgot to add that something about the "k" on the dust bag doesn't look quite right, and the leather texture also seems a little off. Anybody else?

Yes, vipfashions is a reputable kooba & designer bags seller. This bag & color are new for this season. Congrats if you got it!

Looks good to me. I wish there was a good closeup of the leather but it doesn't have the hallmark fake leather so I think it is okay. The lining and zipper pull match the types of the 2005 Fall line. It's a thick leather that is so much more quality than the cheap @ss stuff they use now.

I agree it looks good. If you look at the close-up of the side pocket, the leather looks good there. It's just that shot of the front where it looks almost 'too smooth'. I took the picture and enlarged it, but it's too pixelated to see anything clearly.

Thanks Ladies. I will keep an eye on it. The older models always throw me off.

I'm a newbie here, and never realized how many fakes there were on eBay. I've purchased quite a few recently, mostly Rebecca Minkoff which I'm told aren't faked quite yet. But I love Kooba as well. Could someone check this one out please?

Thank you so much! it's nice to have experts around to trust!

Welcome! Even though I have six Koobas I'm not familiar with the Hudson. It appears to be a very well made bag and I would say that it's the real thing. However, hopefully one of the gals more familiar with this bag will give you their opinion as I'm not positive. Kooba makes some really great bags...good luck.

It looks authentic.

jlp · Aug 19th, 2008, 08:11 PM

That is a bag I have never seen. Is it a newer bag? I am still trying to navigate the older Kooba bags myself.

Thanks lexie & huskylover for the opinion on the Scarlett. I am watching that auction. I love the size of the Scarlett for an everyday bag.

The Hudson is a newer bag - fall '07 I think?

hello kooba lovers!

i really don't hang out here - you could find me more at the goyard thread. :)
however, i was intrigued by this bag & was hoping someone could authenticate it.
the seller doesn't know whether it's real either

any help will be greatly appreciated!

Please steer clear of this bag. It is a really bad FAKE.
