Pardon me, but is the Kooba Charlie still available for purchase?

I saw it at Nordstrom about a month ago. It is so pretty IRL. I would be saving for it except that I can't bring myself to cheat on my LV. Here are some online links:

This past Christmas I got a Louis Vuitton black epi speedy and have carried it practically every day since. It's so classic, chic and has held up so well. I love the shape and suprisingly I don't mind the short handles and carrying it on my arm.

SFC- is the epi heavier than the canvas versions? I think I want a red epi eventually, but I am not sure I'd like it if it was much heavier.

Halleybird,
I'm pretty inexperienced with LV so I have no clue if the epi is heavier than the canvas. Sorry aww

Halleybird- I have LV's in both and I don't really find much differnce in the weight. I do find that the Epi leather is stiffer at first, but it softens up.

All summer I have used my MJ in Kelly Green.

thanks, chic! My husband says no more expensive bags until I turn 30 (2 years), so I will keep it in mind!

I don't know that it's truly my favorite but I used my Kooba Sienna in luggage pretty much every day in summer (unless I'm going out in the evening). It just seems to hold everything and go with a lot, and looks just as good as it did two years ago :)
