Hi there! I’m not a professional authenticator but the previous person wasn’t either. I have a lot of Falabellas and can spot fakes quite well. This looks authentic to me from the photos. The lining looks good and the stitching is tight and correct. In my opinion this bag is authentic. I tried to zoom in the best I could and do not see anything suspicious. Hope that helps!! [emoji177]

Thank you so much.
Have you come across these colours before? I’m worried I haven’t really seen them before.
Hi! I’m not a professional authenticator but know a lot about them and own many. From what I see this bag has nothing suspicious that stands out. The lining was little hard to see but with smaller bags it’s hard to photograph them. Looks good though. Scammers often hide the lining with tissue paper so you only see a little pink. Also be weary of especially black foldover with gold or silver chains sold as “new and authentic” I have found these to be the most common fakes. Because they’re so popular. They will bait people by starting the bid ridiculously low and it upsets me to see numerous people fall for it. They will end up making upwards of $400 on a $45 fake. Then they relist another of the same bag a few weeks later so check feedback to see if they previously sold one. They often have 100% feedback so its useless in my opinion. The person will say they li the fake bag because they don’t know any better. I also highly recommend people go to a department store if possible to see what a real one looks like. It’s possible to find new authentic Falabellas but not for a low starting bid. Wholesalers will sometimes get them but usually the less popular colors, never the infamous ones. I bought a gorgeous blue small tote brand new for $530, which I love. But they were legit wholesalers who buy overstock, returns, floor samples and slightly defective items from department stores. If you end up buying this send me a few more pics of the lining but all in all I’m very confident it’s definitely authentic. Hope this helps! [emoji177]
One last thing, I like that she posted a picture using the bag. However I’ve others do that and they were fakes. But those people are not scammers but victims of scammers. I often message them and inform them in hopes they can return the bag because fakes are illegal and I do not believe there is a time limit on that. Sites like eBay and poshmark will grant a return if that’s the case and the person used the word authentic in the listing. If they need proof there are plenty of online professional authenticate sites who will authenticate with clear pics of the bag. For $10 they will confirm real or fake. This advice is for everyone who reads this blog. Sorry to use your question to explain all this!
Hi! I’m just seeing this post now and see it’s no longer available. Did you purchase it? The shape and length of chains look correct, tight stitching and I personally love this dark gray color. The lining was hard for me to see. But if you bought it respond and I’ll just ask for a couple pics to confirm but all in all it looks good. Hope that helps!
Hi
Thank you so much for all your help.
Hi I didn’t buy it. It’s strange is not available anymore.
I’m now indecided between the other too the grey and duck blue/burgundy.
What are your thoughts in terms of colours?

In my opinion this is an authentic bag. The lining is correct tight stitching and size and style. I’m not a professional authenticator but own many and know a lot about what to look for and can spot fakes. Hope that helps!! Pretty color too!
From what I see this looks authentic. If you purchase I’d just like to see lining closer. But in my opinion it’s authentic. I like when people have pics using the bag. I’m not a professional but have a lot of knowledge and 8 Falabellas myself. Hope that helps!
Did you purchase this bag? If so or you’re still thinking I’ll give my opinion. I love this dark gray and wanted one myself.

Hi! I’m not a professional but am really good at spotting fakes. I’m unfamiliar with this website and there’s only 3 pics that look almost like stock photos but if that’s the bag from the outside it definitely appears to be authentic. The fakes are so often not the correct proportions for a foldover. I would like to see more pictures of the interior lining and a few other features but if it’s returnable and a trustworthy website I say go for it! Nothing at all stands out as fake whatsoever. It almost looks too perfect! Is this a resale site or new bags? Hope that helps and if you buy it just post a few more and I’ll help. Even if there’s no return policy the sale of fakes is illegal and you could open a case with your bank. Worse case scenario. But I don’t see anything wrong with this from the outside.

As far as my preference as well as a better resale value I’d go with the gray personally. The duck blue/burgundy trim is pretty and in excellent condition but I’m not crazy about the burgundy stitching. It’s a strange color combo. I don’t know the length of the chains of both bags, but I see the gray seems to fall on the girl around her waist. You have to be careful with lighter colors that rub against your jeans because I’ve seen way too many secondhand Falabellas with color transfer. I’ve actually contacted Stella McCartney through email to see how to clean color transfer to help someone else out but they never responded so I’ll try again cause I do have a gray mini that I was using for a bit and avoided carrying it over my shoulder because I didn’t want it to get ruined. I love the gray and it’s a classic color. I have downsized to 8 Falabellas... I know ridiculous! But they’re all classic colors. Black, ruthenium, navy, a sparkly chamois dark black and beige. I also love chamois over shaggy deer because it’s less likely to have that issue. I switch my bags very often to avoid them getting damaged. I recently did buy a tan with gold chains foldover bag I’m currently using. I’ll attach a picture. I’m not crazy about foldovers cause they’re heavier and never hang right folded over in my opinion. But this was an auction and authentic, so of course I had to buy it! I’m addicted, I need Falabellas anonymous! [emoji23] I’m not always crazy about the gold chains but this color combo just was too pretty to pass up..
So my long winded response is I’d personally go for the gray. But it’s up to you. Do you carry a lot? I’m just asking because these bags are smaller than the minis and I had trouble carrying everything in a mini but realized half the crap I lug around I don’t need like 15 lip glosses.. I would also recommend buying a card holder to use as opposed to a long wallet. I bought a couple cheap Coach ones on eBay for like $20 and I had much more room in my minis. Just some things to consider. You obviously can see the size so you know what you’re buying. They’re both nice. I wish I could see more pictures of the gray. Can you request them? Like the lining pulled out if possible. It’s hard to determine the condition but it looks good overall. Are they priced the same? Sorry I tend to write long responses! Lol
Sorry I just looked at this again and saw the lining better and def authentic. Let me know if you bought it. There’s a small tote in this color on eBay I’ve been eyeing but given I have 8 can’t justify buying it. The seller knew I was interested and just messaged me today she’d take $400 for it. It’s brand new condition and gorgeous. I prefer small tote to foldovers but everyone is different. If you think you’d be interested I’ll give you the info. Hope that helps,

Oh I forgot to share my gold foldover that was an impulse buy! But I’m using it and really love it.
