Hi, I'm new to Kooba.
And am thinking of getting an Elisha in Pewter

. But what I'm wondering is how heavy are they? And do you find it a good everyday bag? All help appreciated

I don't have the Pewter Elisha, but my Red Elisha is very light, especially compared to other Koobas. It doesn't have all the hardware or the really thick leather older Koobas did, which def. contributed to their weight.
I think it's a good everyday bag, big enough for all my normal purse stuff. The Pewter is beautiful but there have been some issues w/ color rub-off. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find some of the pics. I don't know what causes that and if you babied it I'm not sure if you could avoid it or not. HTH!

I had an Elisha in Blonde (which I have since sold) but it was fairly light-it's not quite as heavy as the older Koobas.

The pewter Elisha is a gorgeous bag, I've always loved it, but never got one...

Thanks everyone.
Can you wear it on the shoulder? I do prefer bags to go on the shoulder:)

I think that the Elisha could be carried on the shoulder very easily without a coat or jacket.

Thank you Compass Rose.
Does the colour rub off? Does anyone know. Thanks for the help
