I looked and looked at that bag and I think it is pebbled. The smooth black just doesn't have that texture. Looks like the real deal though but I too would ask about condition.

What is this bizarre site?
I don't think posting links like this is allowed on our forum. Bags wrapped in plastic handles are generally not regarded as "authentic" either. Be careful ladies.
I've heard of Honest Forum before from Ebay members but I thought it was only for designer denim...

It's a site that allows you to buy prescription drugs sans the actual prescription from the doctor.
I'm just kidddddding!
HonestForum started as a place to buy and sell authentic premium denim. It has branched out to sell other clothes and accessories. Everything on the site is 100% legit. You are banned if you try to sell fakes - hence the name Honest Forum.
If those are not authentic, they will be removed promptly. I'm gonna post in the authentication thread just in case though.
What are the rules in regards to posting links to other forums? I assumed since eBay links are allowed, I didn't think HF links would be prohibited either.
ETA: What plastic bags? I don't see any.
Shouldnt it be up to the seller to prove authenticity then? I dont think you can 100% authenticate the bags by looking at one pic. If you arent sure of their authencity then the link shouldnt have been posted here.
I didn't say plastic bags. I said bags wrapped in plastic - specifically the handles. That is always a dead giveaway that the bag is a fake as Kooba doesn't wrap their handles in plastic.
If I'm looking at the right picture, it looks like paper that's wrapping the handles, not plastic.

Very pretty bag!

I'm not condoning the site. It's too hard to control authenticity when all you have to go on is the person saying they are honest. Ebay is full of Honest sellers selling fake bags...ya know.
In the Nina's case, the bag's chain handles do come wrapped in paper to protect from scratching. And there is always some white paper wrap on new Koobas (around handle tops and tassles).
And it's gone again...
One day we are going to see An Alex show back up on there....just for Bessie.
Yes, that's a good point Lexie. Handles do come wrapped in paper often. Plastic, never.
The ones on that site are actually wrapped in paper, my mistake.
However, I just wouldn't trust it as I've never heard of this site, but I'm ridiculously overcautious
after having been bitten a few times by fake Koobas before.
