Here are mine. I've had them for several years, and just bought my 5th - a vintage from Ebay - can't wait to get it! But I don't know the names of any of these. Can someone please help identify?

Dalena, that blue is drop dead GORGEOUS...You lucky girl! Which is your fave?

Sorry, I can't help much with the names, maybe someone else here can, though.

Those are great Dalena. What beautiful blues! Can't help you identify them as I'm still a Kooba novice myself.

Thanks Rosenpetals:
I got that blue on at BlueFly before Koobas were well-known. With a coupon I ended up spending less than $75. Got the brown velvet at BlueFly too - for around $50 at that time. The cream I got on Ebay (used, but looked brand new), also before Kooba was a household name, for $50 - I don't think they realized what a prize they had.

But, its really tough to choose a fave, LOL! I love them all, but for very different reasons. I love the style of the velvet and the blue one, the blue for its color, the cream because it holds everything, and the black one because its kinda funky. The black is brand new (purchased on Ebay a couple of years ago), and I've yet to carry it just because its kinda awkward to open and close. Rather silly, but I'm holding onto it just 'cause its Kooba and I especially adore their vintage stuff. Currently considering listing it on Ebay though, but will wait until I receive my most recent purchase to decide.

Great deals, Delena! I've seen the velvet & fringed ones on eBay before, but I don't think I've ever seen your blue & white totes till now.

A great bag in good condition won't lose it's value, no matter how long you hang on to them!

Welcome to the vintage Kooba lover's club, btw. There's quite a few of us here on tpf that just love the vintage bags & their linings. Out of curiosity, what do your tote linings look like?

Rosenpetals, here are the linings. Rather plain compared to some.

I think your linings are adorable! Kooba used to be so versatile, and then they went to the lilac ultrasuede for most & now a canvas type...boring!!
There's so much more character in your bags-I love them! Thanks for posting those, Dalena.

Now I gotta go scour eBay for more of those vintage finds, lol!

Dalena,

I LOVE your vintage Koobas.

It is that age of Kooba that most draws me on the Ebay forum. And I adore the funky linings, loving them the most.

I have one just like your light blue one, although mine is light camel, same lining, a recent purchase. Oh and a little black satchel that is on it's way to me.

Those oldies are goodies.

Ok, here's my Daniella (finally, lol)
The future Kooba.com model is 12, btw. She's got the pouty look down pat, imo...
