Kooba Handbags

In a world where individuals can choose accessories to match their mood, the designer fashion line Kooba was born. Launched in 1998 by the mother-daughter duo, Bonnie and Abby Held, this company is best known for their designer handbags. The team that launched these handbags was looking for purses that made a statement, yet were an extension of each individual’s personality. Paying close attention to detail and using innovative designs, colors and materials, Kooba handbags were launched and were an instant sensation for celebrities and common folk, as well as women of all ages.

These contemporary handbags each sport a unique name, generally dubbed after a famous or notable person. Made from only the finest materials, Kooba handbags are crafted from leather, organic cotton, denim or canvas. Their signature shape and simple style have led them to be a fashion staple for many individuals and they can often be spotted underneath the arms of Jennifer Aniston, Avril Lavigne and Sienna Miller (who has the handbag Sienna named after her)! Besides the bold colors and detailed hardware, Kooba handbags are meant to match the buyer’s mood, as well as express her personal style so that she makes the statement, not her accessories.

With the loyal following for Kooba handbags, the company also launched a fall collection of tops in 2007, and have now gone on to sell jackets and outerwear. Kooba merchandise can be purchased at upscale retail stores, including Barney’s and Neiman Marcus.
