Isabella bag

Hi -

I recently just purchased my first Kooba bag and got the Isabella in brown...now after doing some research on this forum, i'm not sure i made the right choice since I've seen posts about Kooba's quality going down.

I was looking for a mid-sized brownish colored bag and had my heart set on the Dr. Q MBMJ bag in saddle, but liked the Isabella brown color & size a lot better. Plus i look better w/ shoulder bags.

Do you think this bag is too trendy for the price? Or should I return it since it's part of the Spring line and may go on sale soon? Any input on these bags is appriciated. Thank you!

If you need me to post a pic of the bag i can, but the only one i found on-line doesn't do it justice in real life.

I think the Isabella is one of the nicer bags in the last collection. I am waiting to see the black go on sale.

The leather on the Isabella is thin. I had mine only a short time and it was gaining all sorts of darkened markings and it was nothing that I was doing to it. The leather was just not up to snuff....actually I felt it was cheap and chintzy (a factor that saves Kooba a bunch of money). I sold the bag for less than 200 on eBay because I disclosed all of it's details and lack of quality. The bag had aged significantly in the short time I had it. I was very disappointed because it was such a cool bag to carry and the pockets were great.
