Just bought an Elisha...

Hi there everyone. I'm pretty new here but love to browse this site--it's so fun!

I just bought a black Kooba Elisha...I have been eyeing this bag since march and finally justified it as a graduation present to myself. It is the 2nd Kooba for me--bought the Sienna in Luggage back in summer 2005.

I can't wait for it! I'm so excited..

How do the Elisha owners like their's thus far?

xo,

Ahhhh, the black on is sooo classy! I have Red! And it's still one of my biggest loves. I love this bag. I vote it as the BEST new Spring release.

OOooh an Elisha! I love that style too, especially the Blonde one, but I think thats the only Kooba bag from the Spring Collection that looks great in every colour.
Looking forward to seeing photos

Great bag, elle. I own the little sister, a red Bonnie.

I agree with Lexie, the Elisha was the hit of the Spring season, very feminine and a departure from Kooba's normal bohemian style.

Hi elle, great to have you here! Congrats on that Elisha and I also would like to see some pics of that Luggage Sienna

elle down · May 14th, 2007, 06:53 PM

sure thing everyone! my luggage sienna has always been my little gem. we've been through a lot together--studying abroad in europe together (we've been to a lot of countries together :), getting wet at the pool, even made it through an internship together! Amidst all that, she has held up wonderfully! I couldn't ask for more. I can't wait to start my new life with the Elisha..hehe.

I'll post some pics tonight!

My camera isn't really working but I wanted to post a pic with my luggage Sienna, so here is a pic of me cradling it at a bar. And my friend next to me (I blurred her face out, just because...who knows if shed want to be on the internet :) has her Sienna too in an ivory color! Still waiting for the Elisha!!

Congrats on the new Elisha and I loved seeing your Sienna! Makes me want to get mine out of the closet. I haven't been showing her any love in years!

I want to see your Elisha!

KoobaLover · May 27th, 2007, 05:48 PM

Welcome Elle! Love the pic of your Sienna and can't wait to see your black Elisha when she comes!

Elisha has been such a hit on the forum this year, definitely the best of the new Koobas. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I break down and get one too! :)

ViciousBliss · May 28th, 2007, 07:32 PM

gotta love the kooba girls~

ur siennas are hot!

i have a blonde bonnie and i want a black devin. the leather is sensitive at first but if you let it build a natural patina, you'll understand why i'm considering buying my blonde bonnie a big black devin sister~

OH! Where were you about a month ago?!?? I have always wanted a Luggage Sienna - the original one w/brown fabric signature lining. So much so, that when I found one on eBay about a month ago, I bought it. I had never seen one IRL, but after hearing so many great things about Kooba, I was expecting to be WOWed when it arrived. Well, to make a long story short - when the bag arrived I was disappointed and after much debate & back & forth, I determined that the bag was likely a fake. I never really was certain, but after seeing what I believe WAS an authentic Luggage Sienna (again on ebay), I noticed some very subtle differences. Luckily for me, the seller sent me a refund (she actually did this BEFORE I sent her the bag back!). But I am still curious - did I do the right thing? Make a mistake? Could the bag have been authentic?

I know you said your camera's not working but can you maybe tell me a little bit about your Sienna. I can tell you exactly the points which made me suspect the bag wasn't authentic. Thanks in advance

BTW - welcome to TPF!!! Hope to see you around many of the various forums!
