Kooba Large Sienna Suede Bag

I’ve come to the sad and dire conclusion that my love for handbags is utterly not affordable. If I could, I would buy a new bag each and everyday. Problem with that is the lack of funds. Because of this, I feel like joining my lil bro in his quest to win the lotto. His ultimate goal in life right now (he’s a male, it happens) is to win the lotto and live on the beach forever. As of now, he hasn’t won and is still wishing one of us (as in me, my sister, my brother, or my parents) would support him for life in turn for his taking care of the landscaping. Ha. My dad, Mr. “I Work My Ass Off to Provide For my Family” Business man, is thinking No. Brothers are great. While I join him in the quest to win the lotto, I’d still like to buy some stylish bags from time to time.

Many brands are huge right now, and Kooba is one of them. I love the shape of the Kooba Large Sienna Suede Bag. I’ve been searching for another new fall bag and this Kooba bag made of suede with its whipstitch detailing, rounded rivets, and brass hardware really is quite fashionable. Other features include the Kooba lining and side pockets. The dimensions are 13″ L x 7″ W x 9 1/2″ H. The bag is wallet-friendly enough that I don’t have to hit the lotto to buy it, but still is chic enough that I’d love to wear it. The bag can be purchased through Bergdorf Goodman for $595.

Another hIT bag from Kooba

Kooba just keeps knocking it out of the park as far as I'm concerned. This new style, the Marcelle made my heart beat a little faster when I saw it.

Like other Kooba styles, it's fairly simple, yet still packs a style punch. Here, with small rivet studs, delicately threaded with leather string, tied off neatly in little bows. There are also 2 small easily accesible drawstring side pockets, perfect for stashing a credit card, lipstick or even some gum. The top handles, have the same rivets, and the drop is perfect for comfortably tucking under your arm. I also like the pebbly leather. After so many seasons of metalics, and waxed leathers, the matte look is so fresh (not to mention it usually wears better).
The main compartment has a magnetic snap closure, and in what seems to be a return to quality, the bag is lined in suede...which makes the price of $595 that much more attractive.
The Marcelle can be pre-ordered in the above toffee or black for an expected December delivery (the toffee has a date of 2/15, but I believe this to be a typo) from Pink Mascara. There is also a version in cognac, which appears to have a bit more of a sheen, but is available for immediate shipment...if you absolutely can't wait.
