Kooba Purses - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Has anyone here bought a Kooba purse? I have had my eye on a particular model for awhile now, but haven't been able to justify the splurge. They're a little pricey, but I hear they are of excellent quality. I'd love to hear your thoughts. The one I want is finally on sale, but it's still over $300.

Here's a pic:

That's a beautiful purse. Clean lines, simple texture and colour...

It looks like it'd never go out of style.

That is a nice purse. But I would not be able to justify spending that much on a purse.

redsneaker · 10-04-2009, 06:55 PM

If I knew it would last years and years, I would be OK with it. But, I don't know anyone who has had one for years. And that style comes in yellow! It's beeeauuutifullll!

Gorgeous. And I do every so often drop the cash on a brand name. But only if it's very neutral - obvious I can use it for years to come and people won't think 'oh, that was so '96.' Coach is that way too.

Especially if it has silver detailing, snatch that bag

Hey Woods! Well, yellow isn't so neutral, but I've been wanting a yellow purse all summer (haha) I fell in love with it the second I laid eyes on it. I found one on ebay, but am not sure it's authentic. Funny how these little decisions make me run in circles.

wooÐs · 10-05-2009, 08:55 PM

OH lol. Missed that yellow detail.

I retract everything I said and replace it with EEEWWWW!!!

lol nah - we all have different tastes. Regardless, it's a great style bag. And another good thing about the 'uppity' brands - if they start to whither or the stitching comes out or something, they'll replace it np.

You get on witch yo self and splurge. But you have to post pics of you with the bag.

Beautiful bag...but I'd never spend that much on one unless I knew I'd want to carry it for years & years -- which is simply never done. Right?
C'mon, Ddn't you get bored and want a different color or style? I do.

Now shoes....yummmm...I have an addiction to those!! And I've bought some that I've only worn in the bedroom. And yes - it was SOooo worth it!!!

Kooba is a good brand, its a beautiful purse with supple leather. You'll need to put apple gard leather protectant on it to protect the leather. Their hardware and color does not run. As for the $300 price tag do what I do. If the bag is $300 and I wear it atleast ten times, its a 30 dollar bag. Thats a steal! Yes, I am an enabler!
