The Kooba handbag and clothing sale going on in Midtown today and tomorrow is apparently worth going to.

A reader wrote to Racked:  “I went to the Kooba sale this morning…it was unbelievable! There was barely anything over $200—most bags are around the $150-$175 range, and pouchettes are a mere $40! Leather jackets are $95. Samples are all under $150, and sample leather jackets are $40!!! Lots of awesome sample bags are around $100, and some are in perfect condition. A worker said they will be replenishing throughout the sale, including the samples. Oh, and clothing is priced from $20-$40. Definitely worth it!”

I just spotted this Kooba Metallic Perforated Nelli Bag on Shopbop and it totally had me reminiscing about the Fall 2008 collections of some of my favorite indies.  The hard, cold metallic look with it’s industrial rivets reminded me of pieces spotted in Rag & Bone, Ruffian and Alexander Wang. You can check out the looks this bag would look great with below and then head over to Shopbop to pick up the bag on sale for $317.50.
