Me too! I'd love to know if it is possible to wear the foldover on your shoulder with the two smaller straps.
It is possible, but it could do with an extra inch drop. I'm 5' 8" and 138 lbs, so I'm average build. Perhaps it would look good on someone who's ultra petite. Check out a video from one of my favourite bloggers. 35 seconds in she's wearing it on her shoulder and it looks good, but she's teeny tiny!

Has anybody seen (or own) both the small and large Falabella Totes? I am just wondering if there is a big size difference? (is the large REALLY huge?)
I am trying to decide which size would be better for me. I think I prefer the large but I'm only 5'4 so I wonder if it would hang down too low.

I own both and prefer the large, but I'm 6ft tall so I can handle a big bag. The large is really large and might be too big for you. I actually think the small one would be perfect size--it's a fine size for me, but I just prefer really over sized, slouchy bags. I can try and take a pic later of mine that may help.
Sure, a pic would be very helpful, thanks!
I am starting to think the small tote might be fine for me. I never carry that much in my bags either.I just love this color I found in the large size....but I've been searching and cannot find it in the small tote!! It's a taupe color:

Here are a couple pics-
The first shows a few of my larger ones--they are all supposed to be the same size, but if you look closely you can see that the one on the right is a bit larger than the others. I have another I'm carrying right now which is slightly larger too, even though they are all the same ones. I don't know if this has to do with color, where/when they were bought etc, but the size can vary a bit.
The second pic shows my small one in the middle to show the difference in size--it makes it look kinda small, but it's decent sized.
The third shows it next to my chloe heloise (another large bag) but I thought having something else to compare against might help. I have a few other bags I could compare against, but they are all pretty large.
Hope these help! The one you are looking at is gorgeous! I don't have any of the foldovers but have been eyeing them--it might be perfect for you since you probably don't need as much room under the arm as I do. If you get it you'll definitely have to let me know what you think!

Wow you have an amazing collection! 
Yes, I can see the size does vary a bit with the large totes. And the small looks really small in comparison! Definitely big enough to carry all my stuff though. Is the strap drop about the same for both sizes?
Yes, you should get a fold over tote to complete your collection! I was eyeing the clutches also......

Thank you! The strap drop is the same, which is something I really love about Stella! I hate when you go to a smaller bag and all a sudden it's in your armpit! I actually have two of her clutches and they are wonderful! They are the foldover ones and fit so much! I'm debating about the foldover bag and really want one I just haven't gone for it yet--maybe if I find one I really love...
Is the shaggy deer also called metallic? I really like the smooth leather -1st picture the 3rd bag and in 2nd picture the middle bag. What were these smooth leathers called?
I think they are always called the same thing (aside from the color name), but sometimes they have more of a sheen than others. I know my black one has a metallic/sparkly kind of sheen. The greenish/tan one has no sheen while the deep blue has a slight sheen and the light blue and mauve ones you can hardly see it. I just got a new one that is very textured (it's made to look like snake skin, but isn't) and has no sheen either. Her bags really vary a lot--I've seen black ones that are really sparkly/glittery, some that are more muted/matte, and some like mine that are in between.
Do you think this bag has great resell value? I saw a fabulous one at TJMaxx yesterday, and was so tempted to buy it. But I'm just a bit worried about what if I change my preference later. I know that for other less "fashion statement" bags, it is easier to sell (like a neutral color, leather satchel). This bag is beautiful, but will I be able to recuperate some money if I change my mind in the future?
