Can anyone help me with this Kooba?

Hi all!

I'm new to Kooba - though I love Siennas. I bought one, then another. The second one doesn't look like the first, and I'm thinking it's fake.

Did Kooba make different Siennas with different grades of leather?

Thanks!

Yes, there were some Siennas with pebbled leather. It looks like that's what you have. There can be so much variation in the pebbled bags, so they can be hard to authenticate. Yours looks like it has variation, which is a good sign, and there's nothing that jumps out at me that points to the bag being fake. One question... does the metal zipper pull get thicker at the end? I can't tell from your pic. Also, how does the leather feel? Does it feel and smell like a $600 bag? It should!

BTW, your thread will probably be closed... it should have been posted in the Authenticate This Kooba thread at the top of the page.

I hope this helps!

You are so right. After coming across some fake Siennas, they have a horrible smell. Like, bad cheap leather, smell. It's gross.

Oh shoot!

Sorry all - I didn't know there was a specific place where we need to post authentication photos.

Thanks for your help! I'll try to post more/ better pics in the authentication section.
