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:

They are so durable and strong, they hold quite a bit for not being leather. I admire the innovation that went into creating the bag and the fabric Stella uses. For me, it has absolutely been a good investment. I've had mine since June last year and I use it everyday, carry my waterbottle and heavy things, and it just holds up. It's also much lighter than it looks.

Yuk, that is terrible! Is there any way to fix it? I have a similar problem with another bag (not Falabella)

Actually they took the bag back... think they will change the chains, or the bag :-(
I miss my bag, I really adore my falabella, it's one of the greatest bag I have.
Such a great everyday bag

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 saw this bag for the first time in person on Friday at NM and I was drawn to it!!! I thought It would be heavy too with the chains but it was so comfy. It felt good to put on and I love the slender rectangle shape agains my shorter frame. Good to know it is well made but i did wonder about the 1000 price tag. Did not know it was not leather either. The material was cool though really soft felt a lot like my distressed leather on my MK bag.

I will have to research more on her brand... That is pricy for non leather though?

PVC should not cost $1,000. I don't care who slaps their name on it.

I would have to assume that would put LV's coated canvas and Prada's tessuto bags in the overpriced no matter who/what arena

I would buy that SM bag in a New York nanosecond if i wasn't trying to save for a trip. Besides, if it just the look you want in and in leather Michael Kors did a knock off on it in leather for a lot less.

I have this bag for 4 month now, and I love it, it's not the classic first version, is the larger, with the larger chains.
I have to warn you that I have now a problem with the chains,the color is fading like a cheap jewelry will do. I'm so disappointed, I never had such a problem with my other designer bags!

I contacted yesterday the customer service, I really hope they will change the bag, as I adore it!

I'm so sad about it :'-(

I am having the same problem with my Falabella bag...mine is gold and the chain is tarnishing throughout. I haven't even carried my bag. It was a gift and I don't have a receipt for it so I can't take it back as I don't know where it was purchased. Were you able to get help from customer service and get this fixed?? Please advise........

I am having the same problem with my Falabella...it's gold and the chains are tarnished and I haven't even carried it yet. It was given to me as a gift about a year ago so I don't have the receipt. You said you contacted customer service and they replaced your chains or the bag....I live in Atlanta and we don't have a SM boutique here--did you contact them online or in person?

i love the look of this bag and recently saw a couple on sale at bloomindales and neimans...they are beautiful and hold a lot of stuff...however, when i put it on my shoulder, the chains dug into me and i'm all about the comfort so i didn't get one...it sounds like a lot of people here who own them don't have that problem though...
