If it were me, I'd go with the large falabella in the black croc--you didn't post a pic of that one (only the foldover version), but that's what I'd go with. I just got it recently and like it a lot. I don't have any foldovers so can't really offer much input there, but I'm a big fan of the large falabellas!

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. Gorgeous collection!

I LOVE this bag, but feel like it's a lot to spend on a bag that's not real leather! Any thoughts on this? Do you think it's worth the price tag even if it's not leather? I have gone back and forth on this bag for months and I feel like I should just cough up the money, buy it and move on... I went an tried it on yesterday at Nordie's and it made me want it that much more!! Does anyone have this bag that could share some insight and thoughts? Many thanks!! :flowers:

I think it's an OK looking bag, even pretty in some colors, but not 1,095€ pretty. Looks more like a 50€ pretty to me. Looks like it wouldn't be able to cope with a lot of weight and the stuff inside has to be flat and small to not make it look weird and bulging. The metal must make it very heavy and the chain strap looks uncomfy...no love for the Falabella from me. It's a nice thought to make a high-end bag of pleather, but the comma on the price tag should be between the 9 and the 5 in my opinion.

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the bag so I'll try not to talk it up too much. But in terms of the issues you mentioned, the bags do hold a ton! I'm in grad school and I am able to fit my laptop, a couple textbooks and a notebook with no problem--of course the bag looks a little more filled than if I used a tote made to carry so much stuff, but it works! I also travel a lot and my falabellas are always overstuffed with that and never have a problem. They are actually pretty durable and one of my favorite things is that when it rains I'm not worried about the bag--I've had several of them in the rain and the rain spots disappear when they dry--I think the material is just better for that (I've also had soda spilled on one and it came out no problem). The chain is nice because it doesn't roll off your shoulder like some bag handles do and it doesn't dig into your shoulder, however if you're in short sleeves it will leave marks on your skin. Overall, though, I think the falabella is a great, durable bag and I highly recommend it!

It used to bother me that SM bags weren't leather, but I actually like having a non-leather bag in my collection. The quality is still very high and the unique design warrants its price range in my opinion. I also take into consideration that it's not easy to find high-quality materials to make non-leather bags. Usually makers only do use non-leather to keep the price down. So, I believe SM probably has to have the material fabricated just for their items. That can't be cheap. I say get one. I feel very luxurious when I carry mine and it doesn't hurt that it's animal friendly too. I'm kind of proud of it!

I saw a Fringe falabella on FarFetch today. I like the hip look, but at the same time, it is so HARD to pull off such a major fringe bag. What do you think about this?

I got one large tote in black long time ago and seldom carry it due to the HEAVY chain:(
That's so sad it's a big bag suppose to carry a lot but only the bag itself is heavy enough for me...
I really like its design but ...ImageUploadedByPurseForum1369384242.042581.jpg
