It was my quest to find out if the Kooba Sienna I had purchased on ebay last year was authentic (it turned out to be a fake) that brought me to Tpf. When doing a search then, there were a few threads, but the interest didn't seem huge...Now, 6 months later there seems to be several new threads about this brand every day. I'm not complaining, love Koobas, just an observation...
