The Kooba is an Annie. A lovely model with the string-ties down the front. I don't own one so I can't go tit-for-tat on it. It looks basically fine to me. My only concern is the zipper pull. It should be rather wedge shaped. It's not clear from the photos if this is so as the photos are more direct-on. I'd need a side shot.
The interior tag (handcrafted) looks good to me.
There are likely Annie models in the archives here. You might want to poke around. In the meantime, if you can confirm (photo or otherwise) the shape of the zipper pull, then all's well.
Hi again.
Could someone please take a look at the following link and let me know the name of this bag if possible? I have looked on other Ebay searches and googled kooba bags but haven't been able to find this bag.
Thanks to some great help on here before I know what to look for and to ask for more pictures of but would like to know if it is a known Kooba bag before I do.
Thanks in advance for any replies

If someone can help with authentification and bag name, I would appreciate it. This bag is currently for sale on any auction site. More pics in next post. Thanks!
Magister, I have that same bag in black and the one in your pictures looks good to me. I'm pretty sure (not positive) the name is "Keira".
:
oints to pearlbaby:: Yep, she's right. It's tough to tell from photos alone. The Kiera is the little sister to the Annie. I was focusing on the lacings. Good call, Pearlbaby! 
It's reminiscent of the older Virginia (and a few other styles with the large stud-buttons and the o-ring clasp) but I've not seen that exactly before. The fact the large name plate appears off-center to the underlying leather square concerns me a tad (it could be the camera angle). I'd want to see the zipper pulls, side-view.
Here's my Virginia:
Hi guys, just wondering if someone can authenticate this for me. Thanks!

I don't have a Paige. It looks overall fine to me but I'd need to see the side view of the zipper pull and the manufactured in/handcrafted in tag. See Magister's photos a few messages above for what we're looking for. Maybe someone with a Paige can tell more. All I can do is look at the zipper pulls/name plate/tag.
You can also go back in the Kooba photo threads here and see if you can match it up to other Paiges.
Hi,
Can you authenticate this Tracy? It looks fine from 2 photos but I know there was a run on fake Tracy bags...If you think more photos would help- of what exactly ?
Thanks so much!

Can't authenticate from exterior only, no. Check the posts above yours on this page, as well as ones I added to my reply (from my own bags). We need photos of the metal logo plates (exterior and interior), zipper pulls (side view and front), and the fabric "manufactured in/made in" tag that's sewn into the lining.

Has Kooba recently changed how they line their bags? I notice the above pics have suede lining while my Hailey doesn't
My Millie, Logan, and Halle have a twill lining, and my Logan has almost a satin. Yeppers, they change linings. If you go back on the photos thread to the very beginning, there were striped and floral linings. I guess they get bored sewing in the same things all the time.
