Authenticate This Kooba

[caramom]

Hi Kooba fans!
I'm kind of a Kooba newbie. I just bought this Katy in pewter off of ebay, but haven't received it yet. I realized that no where on the listing does it say it's authentic. Not only that, but the dust bag on the picture is white, not the usual brown. Plus, the seller said it was bought from someone else on ebay. Does this make this bag a fake? Do they make a lot of fakes in the pewter leather? Oh gosh!

Please see the link for the pictures and details. I'm crossing my fingers!

Hello everyone -

Does this one look authentic? I'm still on my never ending quest for this bag.

They both look good to me.

It's authentic but I've never been a fan of the Camel color and those spots would bug me. I'd hold out for an Auburn or Black. They come up occassionally.

^Thanks, Lexie!

Hi everyone! Can you tell me if this Carla is real? I'm not too familiar w/ Kooba sadly, but I'd like to learn more! Thanks!

How does this look?

Thank you Lexie

What do you think of this Sienna?
Does anyone of you know the colour? Is it really yellow or more cream/offwhite?
Thank you very much

I think it looks good, but when you get it post better pics here for confirmation.

In Spring 2006 they had a Cream Sienna and an Ivory one. Ivory is white white so this is definitely a Cream. It looks good but I wish it had a closeup of the leather to see it's variation. Kooba never put out a Yelllow Sienna. This bag could be a liability as it will pick up denim transfer from jeans or dark clothing. Once they get stained it's very hard to clean unless you use professional services.

Anyone?

[Lexie2000]

The leather looks good. I would say it is real and somewhat used. Looks like it could use a cleaning already.

I am not familiar with Carla's so much. The name of the bag would be Butter and not Butterscotch. A closeup of the leather would tell more.

Please let me know if this is authentic. I bought it off Ebay a week ago. Thank you very much!
