I know, which is frustrating. She doesn't give much info. I sent a question to her but she has not responded. I guess I can always pay full price, I just have to have this bag!

Hi all--I posted this one a little while back but noone gave any opinions. I'll try again...

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

First, she says made in Italy. Koobas are made in China. Also the leather looks funny in these pics, more crinkly and shinier than the ones at NM.

I think I'd hold off.

2LittleBees, that is an authentic sand Jillian. It's not as pebbly as some, but that is a personal taste issue, but it is the real deal.

Hi, I know it is really late but appreciate if someone can help me check if this bag is authentic. I should have asked 1st but it was a late bid and I like this bag alot.

I agree. It's very real. I had the Sand and the Bourbon and this looks like a faded Bourbon to me. My sand was almost butter colored. It might look different on different monitors too.

I have no idea but I wouldn't have gone for this. These were highly faked bags, it's from Singapore, and the seller has sold some other Questionable bags. I'm saying questionable because they were sold very cheap (Like a Prada). Unless you are familair with Kooba quality, you may not know if it is fake or not. I don't know what all colors Kooba made the Parker in, in Patent. I know there is a Caramel but I'm not sure there was a black one made.

Okay...found this. They did make a black one. I think after you get it you should check out the zipper pull.

Thanks Levie. Actually the seller is from United States. I do like this bag alot but dont wish to buy a fake. You are right that this bag is highly fake. I only know about it after I checked ioffer today.

What pics should I ask for to verify its authenticity?

Any other advices from others will be appreciated too.

You are right! I don't know why I thought Singapore. Maybe I was looking at some other auction. You can see if the zipper pull inside is the right shape (thickening at the side bottom) but alot of time these bags can only be told by the quality of their leather. Is this the first Kooba you have? If you aren't familiar with Kooba you may not be able to tell. This seller also has alot of sunglasses. Where do you get that many unless you are buying wholesale somewhere.

[sanity]

Actually I am from Singapore. This is the 2nd Kooba but frankly I have very limited knowledge on Kooba bags.

I am really hoping that someone is able to help me authenticate it or advise me on what pics I should obtain from the seller to verify its authenticity.

I really dont want to buy a fake or have the hassle of returning it.

Hi ladies. I was wondering if anyone can autheticate this black Sienna. I have never seen cream inside a black bag, but I thought maybe it was a sample bag? Anyway, I don't have a clue what to look for so I really appreciate your help.

Here is one more. Thanks so much!
