Brand New Kooba Blake in Amethyst

mcolli02 · Oct 31st, 2008, 03:15 PM

Hey ladies, someone is selling a brand new kooba blake in amethyst on ebay. I wish I had the money, because it would be mines, all mines, but I'm currently in a recessions

Isn't it beautiful! That's the 3rd one I've seen listed recently, I've been drooling over the pics. I noticed Neiman Marcus had one on their website as well.

Anyone have the Kooba blake?? Would you recommend it?

Thanks!!

There's been several on Ebay lately, they are dropping in price now too. I saw one go for $740, the lowest I've seen lately is $550. I'm DYING for this bag! But, I just can't afford it right now, I bought a Kooba Charlie and an RM in the last couple of weeks and I'm forcing myself into a ban.

For the person who asked about who has it, there's one TPFer who posted pics of her Stone Blake. I tried on the Amethyst at Bloomies when they first came out and I loved it. It's not too big, it's really narrow and just melds into your body. I love it soo much, LOL.

I probably shouldn't ask this because it's just going to make me want it more... but, I've never "felt" a Kooba before.... when you tried on the Blake was it really soft??
Or, more structured feeling (I can't think of a better word right now - sorry).

Thanks again

There is one on Ebay right now at a reasonable price, especially if using the live.com cashback. But I am a little wary of the auction, it's a new seller and she does not list whether the bag is new or used and has no pics up of the actual bag she is selling. I would ask a lot of questions and get pics before bidding.

i have the brown blake and i love it. the leather itself is very smooth, and it doesn't look huge when you wear it, partly because it is so thin. i am not sure how to explain it, but it does sort of squish smaller a bit in the middle when you wear it, especially on your arm, but still keeps a nice shape because of the pointy edges.

Thanks to all of you for your help!!!

(Between this bag and the one I just posted under Eva Longoria... oh, and this economy.... I may have to do an intervention on my self!!

If you happen to visit this thread, can I get your opinion on the 2 bags?
You know the Blake... this is the other bag i fell in love with yesterday...

Your opinions very much welcome......

I have asked questions about that bag and if she had any actual pictures. I got no reply so I would stay away I wouldnt dare bid with no communication and no pictures of the actual bag.

I asked if it was new with tags or used and never heard a word back either. I don't trust any seller that will not communicate, Ebay is risky enough as it is.

I totally agree about ebay... I used to be such a fan. (I stress "used"!)
