Kooba spreads the love…

Feb 5, 2009 / Posted in Meet the Designer by Shannon Mahoney.

Kooba RyderOh how this brand holds such a special place in my heart. A Kooba bag was one of my very first designer handbag after all. As we gear up for Valentine’s Day, Kooba’s founder, creative director, and recent interviewee, Abbe Held, sheds a little Valentine’s Day insight.

Go out or stay in on Valentine’s Day? I definitely prefer staying in… it’s one of my daughters’ favorite holidays. They will never give up the opportunity to eat sweets!

Which would you prefer on Valentine’s Day, chocolate or flowers? Neither! A Thai Massage is sounding really good to me now. But, if I had to pick one of these two options, it’s definitely dark chocolate.

What is the best thing about NYC on Valentine’s Day? New York is great everyday! Valentine’s Day is no different for me.

What are your plans for Valentine’s Day this year? My husband and I are the worst planners, so I probably won’t know until 5pm that night.

What is the best Kooba gift for Valentine’s Day? Why? I can’t think of any better gift, but of course I’m partial….for this Valentine’s Day I love the Ryder, Talia, and Kellyn. They are all great easy shapes and come in lots of fun, vibrant colors.

    I’ve never seen this bag before. It looks like it wood be very comfortable to cary
    which is a must. It also seems to be roomy and that is also a plus. I would buy
    this bag if I could.

    Love the color. I’m hot for any purples even plums like this. The zippers are the defining detail that graps me. Very 80’s, but not tacky 80’s. And it has a bit of that 80’s punk feel, but still elegant enough for someone that never did that. So kind of my style these days (Beverly Hills/ Punk Chick).
