Hello, a complete newbie here. I've bought a new Falabella Clutch from an online retailer (MONNIER Frères), and perhaps this in itself is an authenticity guarantee, but as I am new to the world of designer bags, I don't want to leave this to chance. Could someone please comment on this?
Many thanks!

Hi! Great color. I’m not familiar with camera bags or the site where it was purchased. But I can tell looking at the liner, chains, stitching, etc. that I would indeed say this is definitely an authentic camera bag. I’m not an authenticator but own 5 Falabellas and know the telltale signs of a lot of the fakes. If you’re still concerned, Stella McCartney online offers free chats with reps and they have authenticated 2 of my bags for me. You might want to reach out to them if you need further assistance. Otherwise, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Is this a clutch or camera bag? I thought I read camera bag on the listing but you can obviously use it for anything!
Kind regards,
Jessica

That's very helpful! (the shape is not flat at all, so it really looks like a camera bag)
Thank you so much, Jessica.

Hi there! I purchased my first ever Stella McCartney bag thanks to the expertise in this thread. Now it's time for my second. I just paid for it (thanks to the Ebay coupon available today), and even though I trust this seller, it's always good to get the extra peace of mind. So if anyone would be so kind to authenticate it I will be very thankful :)

It looks good to me. Lining is correct, right size and tight stitching. I think you did well. Where did you get a coupon for eBay?? I’m constantly buying stuff on there?

Thank you! So I recently discovered them myself. They post them very often and announce them on their homepage. I missed out on all of them before because I would just go directly to My Ebay, rather than check the homepage first. They do it quite frequently too! about a week ago they had a 10% off and for yesterday only they had a 15% off storewide :o

Thanks! I’m going to look into that because I purchase quite a bit on eBay! I actually bought all of my 5 Falabellas on eBay, but since that was ridiculous I actually just sold one to fashionphile. I’m not an authenticator but have a good idea of what to look for. I do see some fakes on eBay and it infuriates me. Especially when I see girls bidding on them having no idea they’re fake! The same seller will list the same bag every couple of weeks. I wish someone would post one on here so I can tell them it’s a fake so the seller gets caught already. I could have probably gotten more money for my black foldover Falabella but didn’t want to deal with the hassle of listing it and competing. I have bought some high ticket items on eBay like my Stuart Weitzman lowlands and some David Yurman jewelry so 10% off would have come in handy! Is it off anything or only from certain sellers? I also automatically go to my eBay app and skip the home page. I’m going to look into this now. Thanks for the tip. I definitely think you have nothing to worry about with your bag, but if you’re ever unsure Stella McCartney online will authenticate with photos. They authenticated 2 of my Falabellas. The lining is usually a dead giveaway on the fake bags and the stitching and shape. The fakes have a lining that looks like cheap cotton. I too read through this forum and learned a lot, plus watched some YouTube videos on authenticating Falabellas. Just check the side of the inside zipper for YKK. I’m sure your bag has it, but just to be sure. Thanks again for the tip! [emoji106]

Hello everyone,
I purchased my first ever Stella McCartney Falabella bag the version with fringe, I have red some topics before, of how to detect if the bag is authentic. I hope mine is authentic, but would like to kindly ask someone to look at this bag, to make sure it is 100% authentic.Many thanks in advance

Hi! I’m not an authenticator, but have authenticated some bags on here and own 5 Falabellas, which is ridiculous, but I love them that much! I know the telltale signs of fakes to look for. I don’t see any concerns about this bags authenticity whatsoever. The lining looks correct, fakes tend to have a cheap cotton looking lining. The authenticity cards match the bag. The stitching is tight and correct. The shaggy deer looks perfectly authentic. I think you did very well. The only thing I would suggest for even more peace of mind is to see that the numbers on the tag match the white tag found inside the inner pocket of the bag. I assume that’s where it would be on the mini. Also if there are any zippers, which I don’t think there are, check the side for YKK. It’s a more expensive zipper they use on the real Falabellas. It’s a great looking bag. I have been eyeing the mini bag for awhile but carry a lot of stuff and wonder how much I could fit in it. What’s nice is that it’s lighter weight than your larger small totes and especially foldover totes. If you still have any concerns you can contact Stella McCartney and email pictures of your bag, tags, codes, etc. and they will authenticate for free. I give that advice because they authenticated 2 of my second hand Falabellas, but I have heard people saying they didn’t have much luck with that route. There are professional authenticating sites that will authenticate for $10. If I write the name, this forum always blocks it out! Honestly, I think you’re all good. I’ve seen plenty of fakes now on eBay and can tell the difference. So enjoy your new bag, it’s adorable and I love the fringes! Gives it an edgy retro look. Hope this helps.

Hi! I’m not an authenticator but own 5 Falabellas and am quite knowledgeable about these bags and have helped others authenticate their Stella bags. I could tell immediately without looking at the interior that this bag is definitely authentic. It’s in perfect condition. The photos even allowed me to see the YKK on the side of the zipper. I have no doubt that this bag is authentic. Great color and awesome price! There’s absolutely nothing that looks suspicious on this bag. Tight stitching, correct lining, YKK zipper, date code, etc. You will love the small tote! That is what I have. It’s my favorite because you can wear it on your shoulder and it’s lighter than the foldover bag. It holds a lot of stuff. If you don’t trust my opinion and want a second, contacting Stella McCartney online is another option. But I definitely don’t think you need to go that far. It’s authentic. You will love it! Hope this helps!
