So many decisions, so little cash!!!

nina44nina · Jun 10th, 2008, 12:26 PM

Okay ladies - I have been using your discussions as a source of insights and inspirations for a while now, and now I hope to tap in for some help.

I think I better admit it, I think I am becoming a Kooba Addict!!! It's a new thing for me, and although I love bags, I don't own many and am absurdly picky about what I will actually buy. At this point, I own two Koobas - a Sloan and a Phoebe. I don't switch between bags very often, just because my life is in too much of a rush usually, but those two bags are trusty friends - esp. because the Phoebe fits into the Sloan and is a great going out clutch for the evenings.

So now I find myself in a similar situation to so many (at least that's what it seems like) I WANT A JACINDA/JAYLIN. BAD!!!

Now I know that the decision between which of the two I will pick is up to me, and I feel like from the feedback I've seen on this board, I might be heading towards making a decision, but what I can't decide is the color!!! You all seem to have so much insight into leather quality and color durability, so I am really really hoping for some feedback

.

Also - if any of you run into good deals on either bag and you would be kind enough to share, I would be very grateful!!

I'm dying to get a Jacinda too, but I'm just not lovin' any of the colors...
As for Jaylin, I like brown, black and lavender is kinda growing on me.

anilu!!! I'm so excited - just purchased a Jacinda online at Bloomies. 40% off!!!!

Just what I've been waiting for.

I was really leaning towards the Jaylin, because the size is in between the bags i have and I like the across the body strap, but I actually think the Jacinda is probably more useful in size and I was concerned that the outside pockets on the Jaylin would be basically useless because they are so small.

I hope you can jump in with this two girl!! It's your third this month

I say when a sale like this rolls around - feed the addiction girl!!

I really am trying to control myself. That Bloomingdale's sale might prove to be stronger than me :)

I am bidding on a green Talia and I am crossing all my fingers and toes so I get it!!!
I hope to be back with good news and pics of the new addition to my Kooba family

nina44nina · Jun 13th, 2008, 09:34 PM

Anilu - I'm rooting for you for that green Talia - but just in case - there is a grass Callie on sale at active endeavors for 452 and I'm sure you could find an additional coupon!!

Good luck!

anilumagloire · Jun 13th, 2008, 10:18 PM

Nina,
I have been keeping my eye on that Callie, so if the auction fails...
I love Callie so I'll be happy with that one also.
Have you used a discount code at Active Endeavors? I thought I read they do not accept them on Kooba.
