Kooba makes some of the most beautiful handbags. The leather is so soft and thick, I just want to touch and squeeze it! So you can probably understand my surprise when I stumbled upon the piece you see pictured here. Introducing the Kooba Bethenny Clutch!
I’ve always been into reading about the Zodiac, especially when it comes to my sign. I’m a Leo and I think it’s fun to read what astrologers read about our signs. Some facts are always right on target and some are so off that it makes me wonder if the zodiac is even real?
Last year around this time, I had the honor to interview, Kooba founder, Abbe Held. I went to college for Journalism, so I’ve interviewed quite a few people before but never a designer. Let alone, a known and highly successful designer. I remember before the interview I was so nervous! Not because I was afraid to mess up but because I was about to talk to someone who founded one of the most popular designer handbag brands. It was one of the biggest interviews I had ever done, so I think it’s natural nerves would set in. Ms. Held was lovely to talk to and made me feel very at ease. It was as if I was talking to a great friend and now I can see why her brand is so successful. Good things happen to good people. Karma blesses those who are kind, and Ms. Held was definitely kind to me.
Ever since I got the chance to interview Kooba’s creative director, Abbe Held, I’ve been in love with the brand. It’s always a pleasure to talk to someone who has so much enthusiasm and love for their product. I’ve always believed in the saying, “If you believe in what you are trying to sell, the world will too.” I have to say in my 20 minute interview with Ms. Held, she made me a fan instantly and I can’t wait till I’m able to purchase my very own Kooba bag. I don’t have one in my collection and I think I found one I’m absolutely in love with!
I bring you the Kooba “Kiley” Leather Satchel and boy does it give me a cheek-to-cheek smile. Everything I have been searching for in a black handbag has been put on the “Kiley and I’m literally yearning for it! The zipper closure, belted handles, metal feet, envelope flap pocket, I’m in love with everything. It reminds me of a modern vintage bag and it’s no secret that I’m obsessed with anything vintage. This is definitely the type of bag I could envision Audrey Hepburn, who happens to be my idol, carrying on a daily basis.
Ever since Kooba disappeared from the shelves of my favorite local department store, I sort of lost track of this designer. There is no doubt that Kooba is still near the top of my list of favorite handbag designers. Out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind. So I just couldn’t help but wonder what the heck they have been up to lately! You probably have already guessed by now that I decided to take a little peek at Kooba’s official online store. What did I find there? For one, there was a lot of canvas! But none of those really catch my eye. Nope, my eyes landed on this leather style you see pictured here. It’s called the Faye Shoulder Bag!
Ever since I got the chance to interview Kooba’s Creative Director, Abbe Held, last year I kind of fell in love with the brand. She was incredibly friendly and had an intense love for fashion. What was even more inspiring was her love and devotion to Kooba. After speaking to her, I remember checking out all the purses that were available then online.
After seeing the “Hailey” Satchel today, my eyes fell in love. It’s edgy and definitely my style. Featuring studs on this bag was the best thing Kooba could have done. They really make the bag stand out more and give it a little bit more style. My wardrobe is predominately black and it would go lovely with pretty much any outfit I wear. By the look of it too, you can tell it’s a purse someone would use all year long.
As most of you know by now, our amazing Spring Break Kooba giveaway has come to an end and the winner has been crowned.
Congratulations to…..
