forgot to take it off while at a tanning salon?

Sorry but that bag looks HORRIBLE. Looks likes it's been through war or something.....I don't know about anyone else but I wouldn't pay $1 for the condition of it, JMO...................

I'm not familiar with this style Kooba, is it authentic. I can usually spot the really bad fakes on this style but this thing is so beat up I couldn't tell anything by it.

The dog ate my ... Kooba.

Lexie2000 · Oct 25th, 2008, 08:43 PM

It's authentic. A Teak Colored Sienna that has seen better days. Teak was a wierd color. I tried one once but the color is a real turn off.

Minimouse · Oct 26th, 2008, 01:09 AM

It looks like it's been through the wash and ringer. I'd probably take pity on anyone wearing that.

shockey · Oct 26th, 2008, 01:43 PM

I would say preowned!! And ready for the garbage can!

Melissa71 · Oct 26th, 2008, 03:35 PM

Poor thing, looks like it was kept outside.

KoobaBagLover · Oct 26th, 2008, 03:39 PM

It may be the espresso colored sienna judging by the inside lining.

Rosenpetals · Oct 26th, 2008, 04:48 PM

Now, THAT"S a distressed Sienna, (or is that a Sienna in distress?)

Was the expresso this type of leather, or the smooth?
I've seen the teak, and it looks like this type of rugged, distressed leather.

Lexie2000 · Oct 26th, 2008, 08:13 PM

I had the Espresso. It's just like the smooth black Sienna's. Gorgeous smooth very lightly distressed. This is definitely a Teak bag. I remember the color and the texture well. Looked like someone cut a strip of bark off a rotting tree...LOL I bought the Frankie in Teak and it was ugly as sin...and that was when it was new...LOL

Seriously I would never sell anything like this. It really needs thrown. I guess there are some people that actually use their bags.

Rosenpetals · Oct 26th, 2008, 09:39 PM

Yes, there are somepeople who actually use their bags, but this poor baby belonged to someone who only had one bag for years, not 10 bags every month, (like me) That distressed bag is just crying out for retirement.

The expresso is one color I'd love to have, I thought it was the smooth leather. They are hard to find.

KoobaBagLover · Oct 26th, 2008, 10:44 PM

I have the espresso sienna too and although mine is a little bit less used compared to this one the color and texture of the leather is the same. It is espresso.

Rosenpetals · Oct 26th, 2008, 11:13 PM

That does look like the same bag, with some color variation to the leather.

Pics probably don't do it justice (don't you HATE that?)
I always thought the expresso was the smoother leather (with some variation...my black isn't entirely smooth)
Was this the only darker brown Sienna?

Lexie2000 · Oct 27th, 2008, 12:40 AM

I bet the Espresso I had, and JChiara had was from the Resort collection. That would explain the leather difference. Koobabaglovers bag does resemble the one in the auction, although in much better shape.

I wish I had saved pics of my Teak bag. Here was my Espresso...
