I love this bag! I had the Stella Falabella for my birthday in 2013, I was considering it for a few months before I finally gave in, there were so many mixed reviews on it, I had to find out for myself so I went to the store to try it on... I fell In love instantly lol, yes the chain can get heavy, but I always made sure i would wear a jacket, so it wouldn't hurt my shoulder, or I could carry by hand, I still love my bag even though I tend to reach for my speedy more, but I think it's a stunning bag and love when the chain catches the light, the only annoying thing about it is...when you put it down on a surface it makes a terrible noise, so I tend to just keep a hold of it.
 
Is anyone else bothered by the fact that this bag makes so much noise when you wear it? I carry this bag on my shoulder folded over and the silver medallion thing makes so much noise against the chains. Clank clank clank clank clank. I'll be walking and people just stare bc it makes so much noise. Does this drive anyone else nuts?

I have to say, I've never noticed any noise coming from the medallion. Either my bags don't make that noise or I'm totally oblivious.
 
I have two small totes and now just purchased a large. I have no noise. --- I'm thinking its the 3 chains of the foldover that would sure be noisy. I have tried to love the foldover but when I am in the mirror at NM, that bag is a hot mess on me. I just can't wear it and make it look good.

And.... then I bought a fold over yesterday. LOL! I am going to make that hot mess work! And then I will be a good judge of noisy chains. :graucho:

Okay . . . I figured out the "hot mess" that I feel is me and the foldover (or 3 chains.) :D ~ If I always have the interior pocket side against my body the foldover lays perfectly and it looks awesome. I listened really hard yesterday for any extra chain noise compared to my regular 2 handled totes and nope. They don't hit. And if your getting the noise from carrying 2 small handles and not on your shoulder, tuck the long chain inside the bag. But I didn't get noise there either. Hmm ~ Hope this helps. I am in love w/ these bags and can't believe I have gone from 1 to 7 in a matter of weeks and sold all my Chanel for them and part of my Louis Vuitton collection. I plan on selling more Louis Vuitton. I feel like I am having to change my TPF signature every day. ~ XOXO

Wow! 7... Any pics of the family,

Yes! Soon. This week. I just bought some new shelves to put inside one my purse shelf units in my closet so that the Stella's could lay flat, one on each shelf (spacing around 3") and not be stored folded over. I couldn't decide whether to get hooks to hang the bags or extra shelves. I didn't really have room in my room closet for hooks. So now they look like they are in little camp bunkbeds. My instagram is: bugn ~ And I post a lot of bag pics over there.

Shelves are good, I'd rather lay them flat, that's how I have mine,
Yes please do post pics, would be great to see, what we do for our bags 😄
