I am a new member. I saw this Kooba on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kooba-Kristin-/221210092015?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item33812621ef#sp_cr

It looks authentic to me and in decent shape. I am a big fan of the older Koobas. I have a Brynne, a Marcelle and a Ginger. This is a reserve auction (which always annoys me as a bidder, particularly when they start super low) but I'm curious what the experts think. Also, does anyone have this bag? It it strictly arm candy or can it be carried over the shoulder? Is it super heavy?

I hope someone checks this thread :hrmm:... but I just bought a very dirty Kooba Natasha on ebay (for a GOOD deal) and I was wondering if someone can authenticate it. It seems like it's real to me, but I just wanna make sure! (It won't let me add pictures considering how old the thread is, so I'll bump it and see if it'll let me)

I ignorantly purchased this item before I read how many fake kooba's are on ebay.

Can anyone authenticate this Kooba Valerie suede purse?

http://goo.gl/lG1IYv

I noticed that it is lacking a metal logo plate under the interior zipper, and that the zipper pull is different than the ones on other Kooba Valeries, but then I saw pictures of the suede Valerie on Nordstrom Rack and Last Call by Neiman Marcus, and the interior is the same in the pictures for those authorized dealers - so no metal plate, then, on the interior of the suede version.

I don't know what the 2014 tags for Kooba look like (pretty sure this is a 2014 or 2013 style).

Can anyone authenticate this purse for me?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am so thrilled to have found this site! My great uncle at one time owned a purse manufacturer and I am always looking for his bags, which were made in the 1950s-70s. The brand is Michels-Drew, so if you ever come across one please let me know.

Also, I am a big Kate Spade fan and have many of her bags. I have recently started to look at Koobas--saw a friend with one and fell in love. There's an unusual Kooba bag in pink listed on eBay for very cheap. Could it possibly be real? I read someone's blog about authenticating Koobas, and she said the older bags had the white lining with the multi-color logo.

Please take a look and let me know what you think. Or, possibly if any of you know the name of this bag.

eBay: KOOBA Blush Pink Satchel with Studded Detailing (item 300065087100 end time Jan-05-07 08:32:47 PST)

Thanks!

Rebecca
