I OWN a Cognac Kooba Marcelle - Finally!!

I got it from the private seller - ebay's was pretty scratched up and VERY dark handles. Lighting made the private seller's look different I think, as I got newer pics from her that show just how nice the bag is.
 
So happy for you! Thank Goodness cause I thought you were going to combust over anxiety of finding one. But I know how you would love a new one so I think it's a great idea to keep the hunt out for a new one. We can all keep our eyes peeled for you. Hope the bag is better than expected when you get it.
