Kooba handbags

Do you handbag aficionadas have any experience with the Kooba brand of handbags? Evine will feature them 04/03. I checked out the available items at this point and they are definitely pricey. Are they good quality? Are they good-looking when you actually have them in-hand? Just curious-I have never had a Kooba handbag.

A very nice line of designer handbags. Well made and good leather but they are pricey.

QVC toyed with a 'vegan' line from Kooba and in fact, I believe they still carry them. They never got much on-air promotion.

Thanks, Stevie. I think I'll watch the presentation at midnight.

Oh boy, they surely did show some nice bags... If this brand sticks, they're going to be hard to resist... Evine seems to rotate their 'nicer' brands in and out, which is probably a good thing, since it enhances variety... but you have to hope Kooba will stick around for at least a year or so.

More temptation! I have to go to their website and look at these bags!

Couldn't agree more. The leather looks sumptuous.

I just watched the noon show and these handbags are gorgeous. I'm so tempted. I'm thinking of returning the Patricia Nash bag I just received to get one of these bags. I love that you won't see yourself coming and going like many of the Dooneys & Coach bags.

I'd keep the Nash. This is the first showing of these bags on Evine, which probably means they'll be around. Chances are you can add one down the road. But that's just me...

I agree...Nash is tried and true. The Kooba show did very well and they will be back, probably in 3 months. Plus, this way, you can read the pros and cons in the customer reviews when the products arrive and are taken out for a spin.

Loved the Johnie slouchy satchel. Beautiful Summer colors, too! But, probably the last thing I need right now, another purse :-) especially, when it's $500! It did look a bit on the heavy side, but so pretty. Why do we have to have budgets??

Overpriced and no style.

Hey Bling! Many of them they showed were sort of plain, weren't they...? But there were a few that looked pretty nice to me! They are pricey though... Evine sure had some pretty jewelry pieces the other day... Sorry your oryany didn't work out... but I know how that is. I've sent quite a few of them back myself... I've found that most of their bags work better from afar, for me anyway...

Enjoy the weekend!

You made me laugh this morning StevieB. I looked at that OrYany bag and said it looks better at a distance. The lining in it was sort of a silky feeling one. Would have preferred cotton. Just wasn't wowing me that bag. I'm glad I saw one in person because now I won't be tempted by the upcoming tsv bag. You also enjoy the weekend. As you know it's a beautiful weather day today. Will be outside enjoying it today. Make it a safe one.

I don't like their linings either, but could probably overlook it if I liked the bags better... Oh well... Lots of options...

Unfortunately, not so nice here today Bling... very, very windy and the clouds appear to have taken over... And next week isn't looking too promising either, with a fair amount of clouds and rain being predicted... But hey, I guess it is what it is... And you know the weather around here, it'll change at the drop of a hat...

I love Kooba bags, especially the earliest ones that were made of really thick leather. You can get them at pretty substantial discounts on the various flash sale sites and at many other online retailers, even at the the Kooba site sometimes. I'd never pay full price for one because you can usually find some kind of discount somewhere.

Kooba handbags are on My Habit today.

AHHHH! I went and looked, I should not have done that! I don't see this brand locally. Some nice ones, and I too like the fact that you don't see yourself coming and going. Used to love Coach but there is an outlet about 40 miles from me. Honestly, everyone and their neighbor is carring Coach around here.

OK...I caved and ordered that mini EVA bag in camel from Myhabit.com. Otherwise, I am going to kick myself. I am 5'2" and it looks perfect on the petite host when I watched the Evine shows. Love the buckle detail. That leather looks sumptuous.
