OMG just a couple days ago I checked zappos and most koobas were gone and today i. See they have 1 jonnie in stock in light grey. I have been looking for this color for months now so I snatched it. With wineberry arriving what am I gonna do, sigh.

I absolutely adore Kooba.
I have several of their bags that I bought pre-loved that I'm smitten with.
I have a dark brown "Lava" Linda that has a quality to-die-for. I snagged on Poshmark for only $65.00 so I'm beyond stoked at my luck on that one.
I also have a "washed black" leather Ava and one that I have no idea the actual style name. I'm still trying to figure it out. It's long hobo style with a western-y rivet style Y across the front. Really pretty Congac color.
My most recent snag was a black Jonnie, but not the new style. It's the one with the gold hardware that has snaps on the side from 2012-ish.
I'm a huge fan of Kooba - I know they are saying their leather went a little downhill but I did order a brand new Mocha Leroy (my first actual new bag) and the quality was really good. I just returned it because the Jonnie is pretty similar and I prefer the styling better.
If you are able to find a great condition pre-loved Kooba, you will find their leather so thick and smooshy. I love love.

You know, Arailah, if you grab a glass of wine and go to the beginning of the "Pictures of your Koobas" thread, you just might find your vintage bag in there. I your studded bag might be a Jillian or an Ada, but the "Y" studded part doesn't fit. Anyway, just thought I'd toss that out there.

Thank you for your suggestion. I loved looking at all the bags. Ironically the style that is unknown to me was also unknown to the one person who posted the same one.
Tomorrow I am going to take some photos and maybe someone with recognize it. I should just email Kooba. They helped me figure out which season the Jonnie I wanted was released in
I really really want to get a Sloane one day. Just need to save up a little.

I too liked Leroy but found Jonnie much prettier to carry on your shoulder.@compass rose

My light grey Jonnie from zappos arrives today. Ill take pics when i get home tonight. So excited!!
I know, right!!
Im also getting into RM these days and been buying too many bags. Need to save up for a RM and DVF new pop art collection. A must see!!!
If all Kooba bags now are of the same quality of the Johnnie, then I am back in. Hope you love your light grey, eurofashhionista...
Dear compass rose, pls see my reveal post. Trust me, jonnie is a great bag, high quality. You should get one definitely!!
If I get another....it will be three! But, stranger things have happened in my closet, so...I am still eyeing a Berry. You know, it really fits well on your shoulder, and the all around feel of the bag is perfect.
Don't tempt me.....still thinking about it. I would carry this bag every day . Some of my very good bags have not seen the light of day for over a year. And I change them out quite often. I can't find fault with this bag.
Just thought I would jump in and say that I am a Kooba newbie and somehow I have 3 of them since Dec 
I bought the jonnie in ginger and liked it so much that I went back for one in denim at an even lower price from Amazon. I got my johnnies in late Dec and early Jan. And, just today I received an Aubrey which I think I may love more than the johnnies! It is in the color wineberry -LOVE IT!

Yes...we are alike. Love my ginger and navy. Will check out that Aubrey because it is always a plus to get a good recommendation.
