opinions on some fall koobas, thanks!

I plan to see the new bags at Nordstroms first before I buy anything. I don't want to buy a bag just to buy a bag, ya know?
I rather like the Katy and it is my daughter's name, so we shall see.

I want to get an Elisha in black suede and maybe a Harper too. But there are some bags from other lines that I'm also interested in so I'm not going to jump the gun until I get a look at all the fall stuff. So it may be just 2 Koobas for me this time around. 
I agree with everyone that most of the Fall lineup is not very interesting. However, I love the suede Devine (Sorry gals). My girlfriend does too. She loves the Black, I love the Mocha.
From what I'm told, the Harper can only be tote carried. So, if you want to shoulder carry it too, better go with one of the other bags in that style scheme - Jackie, Linda, Dylan, Katy.I want to get an Elisha in black suede and maybe a Harper too.

Saw some of the new bags at Nordstrom over the weekend (the Katy, Dylan, Jackie, Linda and the clutch Olivia). The leather has a definite sheen to it, much stiffer, not as smooshy as other Kooba bags. The eggplant color is a muted plum with a lot of brown in it. None of the bags screamed "buy me" (to me at least). I actually did really like the clutch, of all things, and I'm not a clutch kind of person. But, it was substantial and the sheen to the leather makes it dressy looking. All in all, the new bags made me want to run out and get a hold of a Jessie before they disappear!
Same with me... I been looking at the Katy in the eggplant color. I've been wanting a purple bag and it looks great in the picture. Nothing else calls to me either.
I was excited to receive their email a few weeks ago with new fall bags, but after viewing them, gladly, I can save some money. The bags are rather plain and boring - not like the Koobas of the past. I think they may be getting lazy and putting less thought into the bags now that they've sold so many.
I really love Kooba, but I hope this isn't the case at all. They have always had drool-worthy bags in my opinion, up until this fall. Guess it will be a waiting game for the next season for me.
:shame
on't care for 'em!
I was able to find and fondle a Linda in the eggplant color today. Hmmm, I rather liked the style and loved the color, but the leather just doesn't have that lovely smooshy feel to it. I'm really on the fence about it. If it came up on sale at a really great price I will consider it.
As for suede bags, I just can't go there. I expect my bags to look great even though I don't treat them gently. Leather is much easier to take care of and I don't have to worry about it rubbing off on my clothes.

LMAO, youngster!!
Yeah, the new stuff is a snooze for me, sorry guys
. I have my Ryan black python tote and am happy for now...and my sienna in desert is my workhorse S/S bag again and getting a lot of use since I'm in between jobs right now (a little too casual for the office IMO).Oh and the suede posts awhile back? No suede for pursegrrl...our climate is not suede friendly and I learned this the hard way...rain along with general wear and tear, scuffs, etc it's not pretty.
