I liked this bag the moment I laid eyes on it which was several weeks ago. Somebody must have bought it and returned it. It is getting a little beat up & is now missing the dust bag...I want it but it's still $299

Oh, nice design! Maybe it will go on sale for you! :)

Hello missmoimoi! Beautiful bag - I would ask if they can order in another one for you, and if not, ask what they can do on the price considering the 'handled' condition and no dustbag (although my kooba daphne i bought last year from Amazon came with no dustbag - not sure if this is normal or not for Kooba bags as its the only one I own). Can't hurt to ask right?

Hi there!

I know that I cannot place orders at Winners, they are same like TJ Maxx in the USA. When I first found this Kooba, the dust bag was inside as well as original stuffing. Now it's empty.

I can't really pursue this bag...just can't justify it after getting 3 premier designer bags since the new year...and it's only April 1st.

Now if I found this Kooba bag and it was a total bargoon, well...who could blame me for buying?

I don't know either of those stores, but its sad that someone has obviously flogged the dustbags - theres always a small portion of people that have to ruin it for the rest huh? def keep an eye on it, if it goes on sale then absolutely you must snap it up! I love my daphne - I am such a sucker for suede (berry suede at that!) and the handle sits absolutely spot on the shoulder that it just makes me smile. Love Kooba bags!

Did you ever get this. I spied one a TJ Maxx a few weeks ago but they wanted $360, I was hoping to find it marked down. No luck so far, were you lucky enough to find it on sale?

No, it's gone now but that's ok. I really did not want to pay $279 or $299 for it. I have so many handbags, I cannot USE them all so...I have to stop picking up everything that catches me eye. If I actually "needed" a new bag, then yea...

Another kooba at winners plus I found the Kristen again. Both bags are $300.

Just wanted you to know, Kristin is now 199.90 on Ruelala, FYI. And yes, I ordered one. Always liked it.

I work at TJ Maxx and I found this bag this week marked down to $189. I think it was a return, because my store doesn't carry this high end of bags, so I'm lucky to have found it. We're having an employee 20% off weekend this weekend and I'm SO picking it up! I might see if I can get a little more off, since the dust bag is gone and there are a few scuffs on the bottom. I think that might be why it was marked down so far though.

You're lucky! Congrats :)

The brown kooba Kristin is still at Dwntwn winners...still $299 but I'm surprised. Many other bags that have hung around for weeks get marked down but so far, not this one. It is getting a little beat up too but not awful.

Now that I checked...it's been months! I think it's been bought and returned more than once.

I noticed this one on eBay.

It look authentic and in decent shape. Of course, it's a reserve auction (which always annoys me) so the price could still be high. Does anyone have this bag? Can it be carried over the shoulder, or is it just arm candy. I sympathize with tannedsilk, I have too many bags to be dropping $150 here and there mindlessly.
