Kooba has added shoes to the mix for their Spring 2010 collection. The long anticipated arrival, by many Kooba lovers, is set for August 5th at the FFANY New York Shoe Expo.

The collection will feature platforms, flats and gladiator sandals with a similar look to the firm’s classic hobo bags and totes. The shoes will retail from $225 to $450.

Founder and creative director at Kooba, Abbe Held recently spoke with WWD on this addition – “I’ve always been obsessed with shoes, so after building a successful handbag business, it just seemed like a natural next step to translate our unique mix of rich and interesting leathers, attention to detail, and an effortlessly chic sensibility into footwear.”

Kooba is sold at these locations: Saks Fifth Avenue, ShopBop, LunaBoston, TheHipChick, Pink Mascara, Singer22, ChickDowntown, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales. And always on sale at Zappos, Bluefly, and here on eBay.
