Kooba is becoming a bit of a cult brand. Hardcore Kooba girls have all of the classics (the Sienna, the Ginger), and now Kooba is coming up with seasonal bags like the rest of high end fashion. The Penelope Patent Clutch is a small purse you might take out at night. It fails to keep my interest, and while the removable chain is a nice touch, it also sort of looks like a handbag you could pick up at ...

Almost magnetically, the sunlit Kooba Nelli Double Zip Soft Shopper draws you right in. Whether that’s due to the highly unusual, unstructured shape or the blinding yellow hue isn’t important. The question is - could you carry this anywhere? Is it even a shopper? Measuring in at around 14 inches high by 12 inches wide, it’s not the largest handbag in the world, but it’s got an interesting charm that might just be enhanced by the fact that this season ...

Wow, what is up with Kooba lately? Everywhere I turn, it’s Kooba this and Kooba that! Even celebrities like Rihanna have been spotted with Kooba bags. Geez… aren’t people tired of it already? Well, no, apparently they are not. When I’m out shopping at my favorite department store, Kooba is the name I her women asking for. To tell you the truth, though, I never ...
The unusual Kooba Roni Asymmetrical Pleat Hobo is certainly aptly named - just check out that unexpected shape. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a welcome change from the seemingly endless supply of black leather handbags that dominate our little world. Just like the essential Little Black Dress, the black bag is something all women need. The difference? We don’t need hundreds of them. One classic and one unusual, like this interesting piece, should do just fine. Also available in ...
Seeking an alternative to your usual neutral handbag? Ditch the dull leather bag with the run-of-the-mill shape and get acquainted with this Kooba Jacinda Buckle Front Shoulder Satchel. Though its structure is relatively simple, it has an of-the-moment appeal thanks to its unusual cut and wraparound leather belt. Both make an otherwise basic purse much more interesting and a hell of a lot more unique! In fact, you won’t ever think of this as a neutral - even though the ...
Here’s Rihanna at the Matthew Williamson show, sporting Kooba’s Heather Clutch. The black day clutch which is lined with yellow, bright blue and magenta trim is a severe nod to the ’80s, which is just what Rihanna’s style is the majority of the time. I am not a huge fan of the purse, but Rihanna is rocking it with confidence and the pop of color (from the trim) looks great with her tailored black ensemble.

It's just a natural evolution. You start by making handbags, then move into something related.
Kooba, the handbag that I could never figure out, went a little extreme by going to leather jackets. Botkier has taken what seems a more traditional path, and after providing us with all kinds of pretty bags, has shoes. The strange thing is, it's difficult for me to "see the ...
This Kooba Jackie Double Strap Handbag has generous proportions, lots of compartments, and it makes a great bag for a mom, who is always carrying around her own life, as well as those of her children. The Double Straps give you plenty options on how to carry the purse, and the supple leather is light enough carry through a day of hardcore shopping or running from activity to activity with the kids. The design is fairly simple, but that doesn’t ...
It's been ages since I featured Jennifer Lopez on Celebrity Style. That's probably because she's been in pregnancy hibernation. The stunning singer stepped out for Marchesa's Fall '08 show in a Notte by Marchesa trapeze dress. It's not a pregnancy dress but Jennifer rocks it out despite her full-blown belly. What I love most about her look is how instead of pairing girlie heels with her feminine dress, she opted for something a little rough and tough to ...
I’m not a huge fan of Kooba, but I do love this slouchy backpack purse. I’m sure backpack purses bring back horrible memories of the early ’90s, but this one is done in a very modern way. While I don’t hope the trend is back in full force (I doubt everyone will have such great execution of recreating a former fashion faux-pas), I do love the color. Kooba uses great leathers that get better with age, so don’t be ...
