I'm looking at a denim colored one at Barney's. My pros are that I wear jeans a lot outside of work but also one of my goto bags is blue so I'm also considering a pink one for fun.
In terms of the bags being too costly and not as recognizable, I figure the worth is where you see it. I think the bags people know more than others are the ones that have tons of fakes (coach, lv, etc) because people buy the fakes. I have to say I live in a pretty affluent area but I never really looked at bags people had or the brand and I'd never guess anyone spent over $1k for any of them. Living near a high tourist area (DC) also means fakes are easy to procure as well. I've never done it but someone I know gave me a coach bag before and I would've assumed it was fake, I never checked or known how to check.
And I'd say among the circles I'm in, Stella McCartney is a well known name and I've heard people mention her and her stuff before. So I guess it depends
Honestly, I rather people not know how much money I spend on my stuff and assume I spend less than $100 for a bag than over $1k.

What I meant was that sometimes people who know nothing about a brand have interesting reactions whether justified or not.
It can work both ways. A friend of mine bought a 125 euro bag and I thought it was at least five times as much when I saw it....😉
But is it possible to wear the foldover Falabella as a shoulder bag at all? I am thinking about getting one but I am worried that I cannot wear the foldover as a shoulder bag because the handles seem to be too short to carry it as a shoulder bag....
The. Handles are definitely too short to use as an over the shoulder option. I use mine as a foldover regularly, and i have no problems with it being too heavy. I dont find the bag to be heavy in general.
I won't say you can't but I'd say it's not a good idea. I'm petite and it fits but it's very very tight. If you want to wear the bag with both chains, I'd just suggest getting the Baby Bella.
Can you post pics of yours? I think im looking into this brand, getting tired of lv
Need some advice on a SM Falabella evening bag.. I tried the cross body but it was WAY TOO small.. so need some other options., one that has more room and not very heavy.. I could use a cross body/handbag, I love the gray color!! It's my first buy of a SM.. I was going for the LV Hoxton PM, but Stella may have swayed me.
Have to say I love this style bag and have just ordered the foldover tote in grey direct from Stella site can't wait for it to arrive I was strongly debating getting the new messenger bag but thought the tote was more flexible and am saving for a chanel boy so didn't want 2 bags with similar uses.
Anyway reading back over posts with people giving out about the price and it not being leather do they then consider the LV Neverfull or Gucci monogram bags, Givenchy Antigona Tote etc overpriced these are all canvas bags and 700+ I think this bag has lots of workmanship in it and much prefer a non logo bag I have a Gucci monogram that I now never use as I feel slightly embarrassed to carry it and other knowing the cost, Just my opinion.

I agree! I have heard that the quality of Stella's bags are amazing and i also like that there are no logos all over it.
I received my "new to me" Small Falabella Black Shaggy Deer Tote w/ SH yesterday morning in the mail and I am IN LOVE!!!! After I bought it last week, I went to Nordstrom and then over to Neimans to see them, play with them and ask a gazillion questions. Both stores sales peeps were so nice and sweet. I can tell this is a definite new addiction for me. Next I want a large and then possibly the fold over. I am also loving her hard satchel type bags. Especially the one w/ the stars all over it. --- For me these bags are not heavy at all. Heavy is a Louis Vuitton Empreinte Lumi PM. <--- that bag killed my shoulder at the end of the day. I think the whole empreinte line is extremely heavy. --- I also love that the Stella bags are not leather. I am SO OVER worrying about patina and spotting, it rains here all the time in the Seattle area. The sales assoc at Nordstrom told me that the Falabella's are perfect in the rain because water does not ruin the fabric or finish. She also explained how the chains are different now. So I am unsure about older Stella bags and the problems some of you all have had w/ the hardware. --- I too wish TPF had a Stella forum.
Got my delivery! Keep or not? always feeling guilty buying a new bag even though I can afford it 
Feels like the smooth leather and inside pocket is quite big, pity no smaller pocket for phone but love the colour (don't have a grey bag) and the different ways to wear it, decisions decisions!
