Tell me about it, I am so tempted! But I still have the Blake and I'm not sure what's going to happen with that, don't need two bags in the same color I guess.
I found a Kooba Marlo (black, a couple of very slight scratch marks but otherwise perfect looking) at Nordstrom Rack in Paramus, NJ for about $235 (not including tax). I took her home with me but am probably going to return it this week. (This was an impulse purchase for me, and while it's SOOOOOO tempting to keep it, the bag feels needlessly heavy.)
It's such a gorgeous bag, and I'm sure a Kooba fan would adore it. Just wanted to give any North Jersey PFers a heads-up!
Caught your Gilt.com link here and LOVE it. Thanks for that. I think I read about it somewhere but had forgotten about it. Some great GUSTTO bags on there now at some great prices. I am holding out for my RM Nikki.
