TBH i don't understand where the stigma came from that leather=better, it doesn't.
I have owned real leather bags that have fallen apart after one use, turned a funny blue/green on corners and just generally poor quality - it is skin afterall so somewhat delicate.
I have owned faux leather bags for years and still look as good as the day that they were bought...
Vice versa situations also.
I think the quality, craftsmanship and longevity of any bag depends upon designer, actual item, where it was made (and who by) and general luck of the draw in some cases...
I am sure that Stella McCartney uses high quality materials and craftsmanship on her items, i have never heard of quality control issues unlike the leather bags by Alexander wang, Botkier and Balenciaga to name but a few...

bloomingdales is having f and f right now and you can get the bag for 20% off...i LOVE the bag but think it's a lot for what it is...it's not leather, totally vegan, which is great, but, why so much $$? and the chain makes it very heavy (i tried it on in purple and black)...

^^They don't have it online though and I don't have a Bloomie's near me...:push: Will they do charge/sends with F&F?

I tried it on as well, and I really didn't think it seemed all that heavy for what it was in comparison to many other designer bags I have had or have tried on.

I love Stella McCartney designs and also the fact that she sticks to her own morals and ethics. She designs excellent clothing, handbags and sunglasses that are animal and environmentally friendly. Although i love leather products, there is a lot of bad quality leather these days from designers, so you can't always assume that leather equals good quality.

I wanted this bag so bad until I figured out it wasn't made of leather (You know, Stella McCartney and leather do not go together and for some reason I didn't remember that fact :amuse:).
Its such a beautiful design but I wouldn't pay that much for a pleather bag. Funny enough, I would if it was made of denim! I'm looking for a denim bag... was it ever made of denim?

I've seen this bag IRL and its heavy and the chain would dig in after a while. IMO its not worth the money for the manmade materials that are used to make it regardless of how good the workmanship is -I can understand pricing for leathers of high quality or exotics but for this I don't get it. You can buy bags of manmade materials in chain stores for reasonable prices would I pay almost €1000 for SM bag no.

ITA, I don't get the high price tag at all. I was considering buying the Falabella tote with the Botanical flower print, until I saw the price :-s Maybe if it ever goes on sale, I'd consider it, but for the current price, I'd much rather have a nice leather bag

I've tried this bag on, and IMO the worst thing about this bag is the design. The chain is very heavy compared to the very lightweight vinyl. When it is not on your shoulder, the heavy chain makes the bag flop over and collapse in a messy heap. I did think it was pretty on the shoulder. The chain would probably dig in after a while, though.

I really love this bag, too, and am constantly eyeing it online. And, I debate constantly over the price v faux leather. But, the reason I've decided against it is that its just SO heavy!!! Even in the linen, without anything in it--it felt really heavy. I have to pass.
