Kooba Handbags

Celebrity-adored and editor-coveted accessory brand, Kooba is designed for the contemporary fashion-forward woman that is not afraid to express a playful, effortless sense of style. When the Kooba design team started the line in 1998, they found themselves shopping in a luxury market that was filled with similarity. Armed only with passion, they set out to create a collection of handbags for themselves and for their friends. The label has since dedicated itself to cultivating a long-lasting brand, while keeping each collection fresh and exciting.

Kooba Handbags

Kooba designs reflect the areas that speak to their creative team the most: a key attention to detail, original styles and distinctive textures. Senior designer Colleen Langston continuously creates timeless pieces for independent women who appreciate sophisticated, high-quality designs and materials. "I design bags that are on trend, but will never look dated," says Langston. "The key to a great bag is to be able to pull it from your closet years later and love it just as much as the day you first wore it."

Kooba handbags are known and loved for their simplicity in style, along with their signature shapes, minimal hardware, and variety of seasonal colors and tones. Crafted from high-quality materials including soft, supple leather, suede and more, each design features subtle detailing while offering full functionality. It is this design philosophy that inspires the brand's motto: "Stand apart. Love the difference."

Kooba bags are available at high-end retailers including Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, and Nordstrom and online ($198- $628; www.kooba.com).
