Kooba Prince Ali!

kooba-ali.jpgThis purse gives a lovely impression of two arms being held tight around it, nice and warm and snug.

Called the Ali Shoulder Bag from Kooba, this is a gorgeous grained leather bag with silver metal hardware and the aforementioned leather band enclosure.

Kooba Linen

kooba-linen-duffle.jpgNow here’s another perfect purse to kiss the summer goodbye with – the Charlie Pleated Gold Linen Duffle from Kooba.

There are many wonderful things about this bag – the brass hardware, the metallic calf leather trim, the removable shoulder strap… but the best thing, surely, is that this purse is made of linen.

Linen, along with its sister-fabric cotton, is a quintessentially summery fabric, bringing to mind picnics and lemonade, cool shirts and dresses – not to mention wrinkles that no iron on earth can flatten.

Linen is just fabulous – so why not enjoy the rest of your summer in style with this beautiful linen purse from Kooba!

Huge Kooba!

kooba-nicole-large-pleated.jpgThis big, chunky comforter of a bag is the Kooba Nicole Large Pleated Shoulder Bag, a gorgeous addition to this summer’s collection of big purses.

Made of a soft, creamy Italian lambskin with gold hardware, this purse has both a zipper closure and a flap closure. The pleat detail is on both the front and the back of the purse, and the handle is made of soft yet sturdy leather, so comfort is a guarantee.

Kooba Corset

kooba-brynne.jpgBig bags are here to stay for autumn, and here’s the grandmother of this seasons crop – the Kooba Brynne Large Corseted Shoulder Bag.

It’s a delightfully saucy lambskin leather purse, with classic Kooba brass stud detail and the all-too-crucial interior pockets for your cell/wallet – let’s face it, with a bag this size you’ll be rooting around in there forever.

The closure is a simple zip top, with a gorgeous suede lining and so much room you’re spoiled. It’s beautiful because, while it is a big bag, it’s not going to be bigger than you.

Also available in black!

Kooba Stud

koobaada.jpgSeeing as super-huge bags are still very much in, let’s take a gander at this purse from Kooba.

It’s called the Ada Tote, a gorgeously worn-looking leather purse with brass hardware and a suede lining. The worn look of the leather gives it an almost vintage look, as if it’s been passed down from cool aunt to cool niece.

Delightfully roomy,  slouchy, soft and funky, this purse is great for daytime – it’s so versatile that it pretty much goes with everything, be it school, work, gym, shopping, whatever.

Stud-licious!

Kooba Drawstring

kooba braided carlaIf you don’t like braids, or tassels – this seasons purse offerings are bound to disappoint.

If, on the other hand, you love all things fun and dangly, then lots of fun is coming your way.

Like this lovely purse from Kooba – it’s the Carla Braided Leather Hobo – a shoulder bag made of absolutely stunning white leather with a gold tinge to it.

The drawstring you see is not merely decorative – it’s in full working order, the handle is adjustable which is a very nice touch, and there are inner pockets to keep your stuff from getting all mixed up.

A really beautiful, luxurious bag from Kooba – and you will not find this shade of white anywhere else!

Kooban Adventures

kooba.jpgThere’s something very Indiana Jones-ish about the general air of this bag — it looks like something you could take on travels with you without worrying too much about spoiling it.

The bag is called Scarlett, from Kooba — it’s made of a leather far softer than the picture would suggest, with a lovely weathered look to it and an almost metallic sheen to the colour. The hardware is old-fashioned brass, with drawstring sidepockets.

A great bag for non-girly girls as well as girly girls on safari. Available in a variety of colours!

King Kooba

koobagreen.jpgI am head over heels in love with this Chiara bag from Kooba.

It’s that <i>green</i> — I <i>adore</i> green. It’s the calfskin leather and the little brass studs and the slouchy, gorgeous relaxed style of it — so very very very beautiful. It’s a tiny little thing compared to the Claudia bag but that’s why I like it so much — it’s not going to knock anything over when you spin around suddenly.

It’s also available in bronze, which is <i>also</i> very pretty, but you know the green is just more… yummy. Or hell, get both. It’s the holiday season coming up and I know in advance you deserve a treat. Trust me. :)
