Falabella... Can anyone help me decide between the Falabella shaggy deer foldover (3chains) tote in black w gunmetal chains or cobalt blue? I have neither color handbag in my closet...

Definitely the cobalt! I have that one and adore it! I get tons of compliments on it and find it's a great color but not over the top.

Anyone with experience of the small and the large regular tote? IS the small really a good-sized bag and the large just huge? I want a good sized bag but the large seem gigantic. The 'small's' measurements seem like a pretty decent sized everyday bag. Any comments, opinions, etc.?

I definitely think the large is huge unless you are a really tall person. I have two of the small and feel they are the perfect size for me. And holds a good bit of stuff. I'm 5'8"

I posted pics a few pages back (probably a few months ago though) of mine--I have one small and a few large so you can get some idea of the size difference. I'm 6ft tall and definitely prefer the large. The small is a decent size, but the bag sits higher up on my arm pit and bothers me. In fact, I hardly ever carry mine anymore and have been thinking of giving it to my sis. The large is perfect for me, although it is a large bag. At the same time, though, I tend to travel with it or use it for textbooks, dance shoes etc---so basically I'm stuffing mine and like the extra size. I did give my sis one of mine and she's 5' 6"…I've never thought it looks too big on her.

Hope that helps a bit...

Thanks for the input - I suspect the large would be too big on me, I am 5'6" but I don't want a huge bag. We'll see when it gets here if I like the smaller size...

Well, the small is a little too small. Maybe I'll try a large one but I hafta say I am not that impressed with the feel of it for the price. Not that it is put together poorly, it just feels cheaper than what it costs. I have to mull over whether to try the big one. Perhaps I just don't like the feel of the shaggy deer and should try the patent or the 'leather' feeling ones.

I have the large Falabella. It's quite big, it looks bigger in reality than in the pictures so i think it would better if you try it at the store. The large one has a lot of space and it's also really durable, i literally put it everywhere (floor, park benches etc.) and it doesn't have any scratches or spots. Keep in mind that the bag is quite heavy itself so if you tend to put a lot of stuff in your bag (like i do) your arm will start to hurt after a while. Have you also considered the Falabella Triple Handle tote? My friend has one, i think it's spacious and versatile as it can turn into a clutch for a night out.

Thanks for the input Kristin3. I haven't thought about the TH Tote it seemed no bigger than the small F. IS it bigger? I don't have any stores nearby, Nordstrom.com is my friend:smile1:

Yes, they're pretty much the same dimensions, however i think they're two different styles so you may want to consider it. I personally prefer the TH Tote over the small F. Perhaps you didn't like that particular style in a small dimension and the big one would be too big. In this case the TH Tote can be a good compromise.
