These are Natalia bags. I am not sure if they had been faked or not. Seems to me I have seen alot of them on ebay lately which is odd since they weren't highly popular bag even in their season. Here's an old page from LB.

That Reese is a beauty. I had this bag and it is lovely but probably a more Winter bag. Lninos is a fabulous seller and only has Authentic stuff. The Liz is real. The others I can't determine since I haven't seen them or had them.

It's not personal Bella. This forum is not too active especially with the old time Members who know their Koobas. I only look in here myself every so often.

Default Please Authenticate this Kooba Jackie
Hi,
Not sure how to post a new thread.. so I'm sorry that I am replying to yours... do you know how to post a new thread? This is what I wanted to post... I just purchased this Jackie bag off of ebay and would like your opinions on its authenticity. It feels and looks real. Wondered if the Jackie is one that is often replicated too. This is my first Kooba so I'm so excited and hope it is real!! It had tags from the department store on it too. I called the department store to look up the sku and they said it was for a Kooba Jackie too. Here are the pics!

Default Another Kooba purse on ebay
How about this one?

It looks like it has the ultra suede lining they used to come with?

It's a Bridget Bag. Probably 2004 or before. I had it once. Very cute. Here was mine...

There was a black Natalia listed a couple of months ago, the leather looked very nice, sort of like a Braedon in black. I have a sample (sort of Natalia) I purchased from a Kooba TPF member that I love. It's the most gorgeous shade of a pink and lavender or mauve. The difference is it has grommets on the shoulder strap. I get so many compliments on that bag when I carry it.

The Natalia is a very comfortable bag to carry and is actually very roomy. The only drawback for me is that the leather bows on the sides and front drive me nuts. I can't stand crooked things and these tend to turn sideways, makes me crazy.

Thanks so much. How's the quality of this bag? The leather does look very cracked.

No problem with the quality but the crackled leather does become more crackled and can look dry and aged. It looks Vintage to start with anyway. You will notice whitening on edges and heavily creased areas. But it's a very cool bag. They don't come along often for sure.

UGH! NO! Gotta be careful because with Ecrater and Bonzle you can import your auctions from other sites. I just did mine from Ebay into Bonazle. But you can also import from Ioffer and almost every bag on Ioffer is FAKE. These are Ioffer auctions. All of Nikki's bags are Fakes.

Make sure you post your bags here so we can check them out first. You don't want to buy a Fake Kooba for your first Kooba bag.

You know what I have copied the URL for this eBay item and it won't convert to tiny URl, it also shows a very strange address-I'm going to check this out, but in the meantime please go to ebay and see what you think about this blue Sienna.

[/B]Wow, wow, wow, did Kooba really make a blue Sienna? What do you think?
