Authenticate This Kooba

Minimouse · Oct 12th, 2008, 01:41 AM

I never found the Brynne heavy at all. It's a large bag, but as KoobaMe mentions, very little hardware, so not overly weighty.

hi all, i bought Brynne last night! eeeepp! ^^ sorry to the friend i stole her from. i've been lusting after a Brynne for at least 3 years and w/ the cashback?? could not walk away! thanks for everyone's expert authentication!

You are going to LOVE that bag Nola. The leather is one of the best Kooba leather they had. Thick lush distressed that smells terrific. I should have kept mine. My 2nd favorite Kooba behind the Smooth Sienna.

That is okay Nola. She really wanted a brown or black bag. She told me she wanted to try the Ada and since I told her about the cash back she said to get it for her. I told her it is as heavy as her Mia but I guess she thinks it will hang differently with the shorter straps and be worth a try. I have never seen one IRL so it will be interesting. If I try it on I will probably get tendonitis. Between her and I we are major handbag enablers, LOL.

Congrats on the Brynne. Post pics when it arrives.

Ah, ha! So, you're the one that snagged that gorgeous Brynne that I was looking for last night when the cashback went to 30%. Congratulations on a great score and can't wait to see some pics. Enjoy!

Tracy · Oct 12th, 2008, 03:54 PM

thanks, girls!
jlp~~ i was torn between the 2. i wish i could get both! i searched here last night for Ada info, and most comments were about it's weight. and i've wanted brynne for so long!

i will post pics when she arrives!

jlp · Oct 12th, 2008, 06:02 PM

I have never used the cash back before. Does it take time for it to register in your live account? So far it is saying Zero in my cashback account. I did folllow all the instructions correctly. I read them 3 times before I loged into the live search.

Tracy · Oct 12th, 2008, 06:55 PM

i read it a million times too. it can take up to a day to appear. their FAQ page is fairly helpful.

jlp · Oct 12th, 2008, 07:37 PM

Hopefully it worked okay so I don't have to ask my friend for the extra $100. That would be bad. I am wondering how long it will be before she asks me to sell it. I did read and asked about the Ada and warned her of the weight. It is a beautiful bag.

For what it's worth, Halle description includes "Made in Italy" and NWT. We all know Kooba is handmade in China. No tags in these photos, which appear to be stock. I love what I see in the photos, but I would pass on this one.

Jennifer seller has very good feedback.

Thank you..!

The seller has a lot of negs but none pertain to bags. There's also just the two pics and none of a Kooba tag. I'd probably be leery of this one, or ask for more pics. It would be nice to have a 2nd opinion.

Ladies, can you check this Dylan for me.

Thanks!

Do you know how to convert PhP money?
There is no PayPal for security; this appears to be a cash transaction, so no intermediary if there are problems.

Do you know how to deal with customs, etc., for what is essentially an American (made in China) product.

Not enough or good enough photos to comment on the bag. This link shows a fake Dylan, and if you click on the Larger ones, you get better detail than the eBay listing. http://www.bagtashiaboutique.com/Pro...uctCode=KB2000
For example, I couldn't see the Kooba logo on the back of the eBay bag.

Too much trouble for me.
