Hi everyone,

Some of you may remember me as the brand spanking new member asking the question whether I should buy a good quality copy of a Kooba that I saw online. (This is the original thread if anyone is interested):

After a stern wake up call from a few people, and some very friendly and helpful advice from many, I purchased the following bags in my pursuit of filling the void! :yes:

A Lush bag from About Attitude:

(I threw in this messenger fringe bag in from the same site because it was such a deal!)

I also bought a Bulga bag:

(I have a thing for fringe, can you tell?)

But now, I have just learned that my boyfriend went to the Kooba store online and purchased this bag for me - we saw it in Holt's and it was my favourite out of all the Kooba Siennas

So not only do I have a bunch of nice purses, but I also got the Kooba that I've wanted for quite some time now. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

Thanks to everyone who helped me out! :tender:
 
Thanks so much for all your helpful advice, ladies! If it wasn't for you, I'd have ended up buying that fake bag, and you are totally right - it wouldn't have made me happy!

*Gulp*. I just bought another bag... When I went to the Active Endeavours site earlier to find the link to post the Bulga bag I bought for you to see, I noticed they added a whole whack of new Kooba items to the sale page! They also have a gorgeous Botkier skeleton bag. :nuts:

I just bought the Kooba ADA brown woven tote for $362 down from $725 with no tax and free shipping! That is actually cheaper than the Sienna my bf just purchased for me on www.kooba.com:

I know people either love it or hate it, but I think it's so unique and I am ecstatic that I now will have two beautiful bags for the Fall! :love:
I'll post pics when I receive them. Fingers crossed the duty will not cripple me! :throwup:
 
I just got my Kooba Jessie Bag today in the Raisin color. It is SO AWESOME for a medium sized handbag. I am so glad I got it.

I'm very dissapointed in Ebay. I am trying to sell my Black Kooba Ada on there (It's just a little too large for me to get alot of use). It will be lost amongst the numerous Fakes all starting at 1.00 with NO reserve. I paid 545 for it and won;t get near that because of the crap bag these people are selling. Some of these fakes are going for over 300.00. I can't fathom why Ebay can't halt some of this. I know they make big bucks from fake bags but is there no repercussions for them?
