Nope....look at that yucky pebbled leather. Tsk Tsk. One time I saw the prettiest deep blue one that made me wish it was real.

Thanks Lexie, I didn't think it was authentic but always hesitate reporting until I am 100% sure.

Hello ladies ... sorry I've been "out of pocket" but I've been going through some medical issues. A friend of mine - Hannah Gray - is trying to find an Annie in oak. She found this website. I did an exhaustive search for her and nothing turned up. No one is selling one on ebay. She send me the above website. Have any of you ever heard of it? The bag actually looks pretty good, at least from a leather standpoint, and it's used, according to the write up. Anyone else heard of these people and what do you think about the bag? Thanks.

The bag looks good. The color would not be chestnut tho. This is Saddle. They didn't make Mia's in Chestnut. Keep in mind the bag is heavy and bulky. It's rather difficult to get into easily. I sold mine immediately because it was not a comfortable bag to use with ease.

Never heard of the site. The bag is certainly real but it looks far more distressed than I would like. I had the Annie and it was distressed with the darker streaks but looking at the bottom of this bag it looks like it has large areas of this distressing that may be water spots. For 282.00 I think the bag should be in better shape and your firend may not be happy with it's looks. Just my opinion for the price.

I am close to giving up on ever getting a brown Jaylin and am now considering just getting this one on Ebay in black. Does this look authentic?

There is a stock picture in black that looks to be a different leather (less shiny) than the photos of the one being sold. Is there a matte black and a shiny/patent black for Jaylin?

I'm not too sure if Kooba used different leathers but there was a regular leather and a patent leather one. I would trust the photos the seller personally took over the stock photo used. It does look authentic though.

Hi- How did you determine the Black Jaylin is a fake? I didn't truat it as the photos look different from each other but I am new to kooba.
Thanks.

No i think the Jaylin is real and my post for the fake purse references the sienna purse posted by ejbfelton. The Sienna leather is really nice and the one from the photo is more pebbled. Kooba did use textured pebbled leather before but it was not as uniform as the pebbled leather on the fake siennas.

I have the Sienna purse myself and after seeing the real thing it's almost second nature now to spot out a fake.

Hi. I am dying for my first kooba bag. I saw a lady carrying one and I just stared at it until i memorized the brand name! Can you tell if this bag is authentic? Thanks in advance!

Who knows, with only one photo it's anyone's guess. You might write the seller and ask her to email you additional photos.
