Nelly/Talia

Geminiz06 · Jun 8th, 2008, 07:04 PM

Which is better...Having a hard time trying to choose between the 2. As I have yet to see either in real life. They both look fab. Any thoughts as to which feel better etc.TIA

Geminiz06 · Jun 8th, 2008, 09:38 PM

Any thoughts?

I have not seen either IRL either, the stores near me are Dooney and Coach land, even Nordstrom for the most part. Neiman's is another story, but the service is horrendous!

Anyway- I like the Talia much better for the style of the bag. I know someone purchased a Nelly- but can't remember who did. Hopefully, she'll see and chime in. There are quite a few Talia fans though from the threads on that bag!

I had the Nelli and I have a Talia now. They are 2 different bags and hard to compare. The Nellie has super soft leather and a funky look. The Talia is thicker leathers and textured a bit and looks a little more dressy. It depends on your style and what you want the bag for. You probably wouldn't take a Nelli for a fancy dinner while you might the Talia. Both bags have their assets.

^ Thanks Lexi.....I just may try to get both...Have there been any on sale recently? In bold colors.. I'm trying to find them for under 400.00. Or is that just wishful thinking?

^^^Gemini.I posted a link for a pink Talia under the authentic Kooba finds stickey.

I agree with Lexie, they are 2 very different bags...but both are gorgeous. I have the Talia, and handled a Nelli which was gorgeous in the blue!! If I had the money I would have bought the blue Nelli that was on eBay...

Good to know thanks, fellow enablers, I guess I'll just have to get both

Geminiz06 · Jun 9th, 2008, 08:03 AM

Ok so I have just Purchase the PINK TALIA!!!!! For 325+shipping total 335. Thanks Paula (Lizardo), for the heads up.

I must say that I am already feeling buyers remorse. Hoping to love it...I'll keep you gals posted and take pics when I receive her. The bag looks absolutely gorgeous in the pics. I guess, I'm just reeling over the fact that the color wont be able to go with that much, but I couldn't help it

. She looked too yummy in that color lol.

You will LOVE it!! Congrats and what a score!!

Geminiz06 · Jun 9th, 2008, 10:54 PM

^ Thanks....I'm sure I'll love her

OOOH that's going to be stunning. Pink!!! I've been a fan of the white perforated nelli since before it came out. I love the design. Once you end up scoring it you need to let me know what you think of the bottom supports. I haven't purchased it b/c pics on the kooba website made me skeptical. I love the lines of the bag but don't want those supports to take away from the bag. Hope you love your talia. Looks hot!!!

^ Thanks Sango I'll definetely post pics

Wishful thinking is fun! I spend most of my day and night doing just that....

Keep checking eBay - you never know what might turn up?
