This looks good...I think! Please help as its in the UK which is good for me...no chance of customs charges!
I emailed the seller to ask about tags, where is was bought etc. but I doubt I will get an answer until tomorrow as its past midnight here now.

Please cast your eyes upon it and give opinions. Thanks!

Sorry halzer, but that is a fake. The black Sienna either has really smooth leather or pebbled leather and this fake looks off.

No Halzer. No good. Note the "uniform" pebbly leather. Real leather is not that even and exact.

I think it's the pebbled Raisin. Pictures suck. What's up with the slant? Guy doesn't know what he is selling. He calls it Red/Burgandy and if it is, the Kooba never made one.

I scour the eBay Sienna offerings daily & I'm getting more and more convinced Kooba.com is the only safe place to buy.

This one was kinda pretty, though:

I saw that one too. I wouldn't risk it but I half think it is real. The leather looks good but as usual, the pictures are crap.

It is a scary place to buy but truthfully I have never gotten taken and I have gotten great deals. But deals are relative. I never got a bag for 148.00. There are authentic bags on eBay. I have sold some of them. If you have some experience, ebay is a delight.

Thanks lexie and Koobalover for your input.
I did wonder as the there wasnt a tag on the bag, even though it was advertised 'with tags'.
Lets see if the seller replies to my email asking where it was bought from. You cant get Kooba here so it will be interesting to see.
Thanks again for saving my pennies!

Those are the same pics, aren't they? I'm glad I let the other go. You guys are right, there is no cheap Sienna.

Maybe the other person stole pics from him. This seller sells alot of high end handbags....and most of the pics are slanted! LOL Feedback is high. The leather actually looks okay from what you can see. I'd write him questions.

i think they're different bags. the first one has a purple tinge and the lining is mauve. the other one is more black and the lining is olive.

You are right. It's very odd though. I checked out both sellers stores. They both sell alot of high end stuff and they both have slanted pics! Maybe it's a new photography trend. I think both those bags are real. This black one looks lke the one off of Kooba.com.

Anyone know what the deal is with these? They would both be too old for me to have the slightest clue...

KoobaBagLover? You seem to be the in-house expert for the older seasons...

Of course, the pics on these two are not very revealing.
