Come Talk to Kooba

[sugarmags]

I was able to clean my purple Lola! I went to a shoe maker/leather repair shop thinking I'd leave it with him to attempt. Instead he sold me a soft brush and a bottle of "Lincoln E-Z Cleaner" He said use circular motions, do the entire bag, do not wipe, allow to air dry.
It worked!!!! No more spots- I love my Lola again.

Hi Ladies,
I'm back! Hope your September was fun....it went by WAY TOO FAST for me! Unfortunately, the Brynne didn't make it into the final cut for the 10th Anniversary (she was on the list). I'll keep asking our Design team to see if maybe she can come back down the road.

Newer Natashas came out in a thinner less desirable leather thatn the originals so I hope this isn't the case.

Hi Lexie,
The bags will be offered in Black and Cognac nappa. It's not the exact same leather, as we had TONS of feedback that the bags were too heavy the last go around. It's truly beautiful leather from Italy and I'm sure you will like it. They are also coming in a cut leather from Italy that resembles snakeskin in limited quantities.

Hi,
We actually love the new lining! We were getting tired of the basic cotton brown lining and wanted to jazz it up a bit. The purple sateen lining gives the bags a lift....definitely not a downgrade!

Hi Koobashy,
Welcome! The Ada was originally introduced in Spring 2006, and we haven't brought her back recently, but she's stunning! Unfortunately, we can only guarantee aunthenticity through our approved accounts or through kooba.com. Keep your eyes peeled for some upcoming sales on our website....you need to subscribe to get updates, but you might find something there that you like as well. Sorry I couldn't help you more with the Ada!

What part of the country do you live in? It really helps to see the bags in person and try them out.

Please bring back the Brynne, How about a mini Brynne also. Same exact style and leather though, fingers & toes crossed.

Hello Ask Kooba - Thanks for all your replies in this forum. I'm looking forward to the return of the Sienna among others. I do not mind the heavy leather... I actually prefer your older styles because of the leather and hardware.

Here's hoping that the new leather is something we'll go gaga over!
More colors too?

Hi,
I looked on the website- but can't see how to "subscribe". Can anyone give me more specific info?
Thanks!

[KoobaMe]

Glad to see you back again, Ask Kooba. I'm thrilled to hear the Sienna is one of the bags in the "anniversary" line and can't wait to see it. Like others, I'm a hardware junkie and hoping the classic Sienna might have a few new hardware elements. Sorry to hear the Brynne and others didn't make the cut. Can't wait to see the shoes, too!

P.S. I can assure you that many of the ladies around here loved the substantial nature of the older leather that some may have deemed 'too heavy'. I LOVED that leather!

Hi Asureartist,
I'm sure you'll like it! Colors will be a cognac, black and a couple of special leathers to celebrate our 10th Anniversary.
Talk to you soon!
