My pleasure, Gabby. Good communication with a seller is essential. A good seller would be very happy to send you all the photos you need to ensure that the bag is authentic. You will find the right bag for you.Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help! Sometimes it’s so hard getting sellers to send pics I will definitely wait and keep looking.
Sorry the bag is fake.hello everyone. I really need help to authenticate this bag since the code 495151 FW14 is soo common. The seller only provided these photos. Can you please tell me if its fake or not?

I found it from an app for second hand goods in Turkey. I don’t know if the zipper has YKK stamp on it but i will ask the seller. Here are some exact same bags from vestiaire collective:Are the zippers YKK? What are the dimensions of the bag?
I have some concerns which is the lining color. According to the code, the bag is from 2013. The Falabellas were introduced in 2010 and initially had beige lining. I'm not certain the transition to the pink lining happened that early, but it makes me want to verify other elements of the bag in order to be certain.
The stamping has also almost entirely worn off. I know the stamping rubs off to some degree with wear but this one makes it impossible to see.
How much is the bag?

hello again, the seller sent me the photo of the zipperI'm unable to access your links.
Personally, I would pass on this bag because of the concerns I raised above. It's a very old and very used bag. I don't know what the seller is asking but you can get a bag of certain authenticity and less used for a good price.
If I authenticate for someone else, I like to be 100% certain. If you are comfortable buying this bag, that is obviously your decision.
You can always pay a small fee to get it professionally authenticated.
The zipper is a good sign. But I can't be 100% certain because of the concerns I mentioned above.hello again, the seller sent me the photo of the zipperView attachment 5953585
This bag is authentic. I have the same chamois ruthenium color Falabella in the mini size. Pink lining was already used in 2013. No worries…hello again, the seller sent me the photo of the zipperView attachment 5953585
Hi all, I am planning to get the Falabella small tote in black soon but I'm trying to figure out which website to order from. While looking at the websites I noticed that the inside color is different. On the Nordstrom website the inside is a tan color and on the Stella McCartney website it's a pink color. Here are pictures of what I mean:

The Stella McCartney website says FALL 2012 so I'm wondering if the pink is a seasonal color.
Does anyone have this same bag? I was wondering what color your bags are inside.
Ill have to double check, but I'm pretty sure all of my Falabellas are tan on the inside. I do know 100% my black one is tan inside (like the Nords one you posted). I wonder if its the way the stella site one is photographed? I'll check later tonight to be sure though.
Ok, I checked all of my Stellas and every single one has the same tan lining, even my crossbody's and smaller falabellas. I'm thinking that is the standard lining and the picture may just look pink due to lighting (but I'm not an expert on Stella so I am not positive).
Thank you so much for checking! All the ones I have seen online were tan too. I emailed the Stella McCartney customer service yesterday asking about it and they responded saying:
"We would like to confirm that the colour of the inside of the bag is the one shown in the picture of the Product Page."
It didn't really answer my question whether or not it's pink but I might just take the plunge and order it
I recently bought the shaggy deer fold over tote from a reputable store and the lining was the pink colour. I was worried that they accidentally sent me a fake! The new SS13 tagged bags have this lining. Hope this helps!
Hello everyone! I bought two Stella McCartney bags (legit retailer) but was still wondering if they're authentic (they accept returns etc etc). I believe the camera logo bag is real (the YKK is on either side of the zipper) but I have doubts about the Tiny Falabella bag. Would like to hear from you all. Thanks! NOTE: I had flash on to take pictures.
