Thanks azureartist!
The seller seems honest but she isn't the first owner of the bag. Should I be concerned about the zipper pull?

Hi there - Can someone double check this Paige and let me know if they think it's authentic?

Hi,
I purchased this Kooba Dale from a thrift Store and was wondering what you guys think about authenticity. They said it was authentic so if it's not I think I can return it. I do not want to carry a fake bag, Even if the money goes to a good cause! My main concern is that the zippers feel kind of cheap (not heavy at all) and the the brass circles on the straps are not finished on both sides. One side is smooth and the other you can see the inner and out circle. The stitching is very straight and perfect and the zippers do gradually get thicker and compare to my other Kooba's (Marcelle and Sienna) but my ore bags do not have zippers on the main compartment. If you need any specific photos let me know! Thanks for any help!

Hi ladies!! While I've never participated until today, I have sooo appreciated this site! It has helped me quite a bit over the last couple of months as I've sought out new bags for myself.
With that said, I just purchased this Kooba that I have no seen anywhere before. I've googled descriptive terms, searched older threads. Nothing. Can someone identify it for me? (and if this is in the wrong place, please tell me so I can post elsewhere).
Anyway, here's the link from ebay with photos:

thanks so much for your help!

Hi Schientist! Stinks that the link didn't work, but no worries- I found an old post after all and figured it out I bought a Kooba Sarah! Thx for trying - I really appreciate it.

Great! Hope you're enjoying it!
Does anyone know if Kooba has re-issued the Paige?
This one on ebay does not look like any Paige that I am familiar with. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Stunnin...WH_Handbags&hash=item5648380740#ht_500wt_1174
I asked the seller about the lining and it is not the suede/ultra suede like lining that the original had.
Right now, there are more than one listed on ebay and I am wondering if they are authentic or fake?

I don't believe so. Only the Sienna and Frankie were re-issued for their 10th anniversary.
Ok, I have a potential suede Sienna up for evaluation... Please see photos attached! (fingers crossed...)
The major signs look ok to me. Zipper is angled and heavy, nameplate looks ok in person, "handcrafted in China" tag in the corner and the inside of it looks ok, all the stitching is even, lining is sewn up underneath the panels like on most Koobas...

Thanks azureartist. I might have answered my own question...... I just found this on Bluefly http://www.bluefly.com/Kooba-eggpla...aige-shoulder-bag/SEARCH/315074102/detail.fly
According to this, and assuming that the bag on Bluefly is authentic (zipper pull looks weird), it seems that the Paige was re-issued.
^^ That zipper pull is the one I've seen on the new Kooba bags on their website. Interesting to find this on Bluefly!
