Ugh, crushing on this Stella McCartney Falabella shoulder bag... :girlsigh: I just love her boucle/tweed! It's just so cute and ladylike and cozy for the fall. Interesting how it doesn't have the chain bordering the edges. Yoox has it on sale for $648. Someone buy it so I'm not tempted!

just bit the bullet and bought the falabella foldover bag.. SA said it is the Olympics edition with gold chain, instead of silver.

the material feels like suede, but it's actually a mix of cotton and something else. definitely holds alot! i was hesitant to load it up at first, for fear of weight and weighing down the bag.. but the bag definitely didn't feel loaded down!

i had a magazine, a bottle of water, camera, wallet, makeup pouch and the shape held!

Honestly, I am usually so anti purchasing a bag $1000+ that is not leather but this bag is most definitely growing on me and looks pretty super. Something to think about. . .

I bought the Falabella fold over tote a couple of months ago and I love it! I was also hesitant at first because of the material, but it is beautiful! It's so soft and I love the chain and whip stitch detail. I'm carrying mine everywhere!

Seeing this bag in person makes all the difference :D

Actually they took the bag back... think they will change the chains, or the bag :-(

Heya. Any updates on the chains? I am contemplating of purchasing this bag asap before it goes out! xx

I bought the black foldover bag about two weeks ago. I find it a tad too heavy, but I have received soo many compliments on it:D , even from friends who are not interested in fashion and handbags.

I think its kind of a plus that these bags are cruelty free. Dont get me wrong...I have plenty of leather and even calf hair bags, but I like not wearing a dead animal on my shoulder. And I find the material holds up much better than real leather. I live in S. Florida and play tennis everyday. I get caught in sudden heavy rainfalls all the time and my Stella is fine. Indestrucible. I have to worry about my Bal bags all the time.

Saw a gorgeous SM Shaggy Deer at Nordstrom tonight and fell in love. It's got a toned blonde look - light tans in a sort of southwestern native American hide look. I did not know she didn't use leather and initially balked at paying so much for a non-leather, but the detail, the whipstitch, the chains, and most importantly, the look on me made me buy it in 5 minutes flat. It does not add bulk yet it has so much room. Great design work. I am a convert!!!! And I have to say this: to those that poopoo anything that isn't leather, that is not a valid argument at all. Burberry, LV, Ferragamo, they all have designs in materials other than leather and they sell well. You pay for the design, the look, the color, the thought and attention to detail, the quality (the Devil Wears Prada has a bit that is really good at talking about the investment in fashion). I have a PVC Ferragamo from 4 summers ago, and not only does it still look brand new and is as light as a feather, and I never have to worry about the rain or dirty on it, and I get a lot more compliments on it till today than my 2011 limited Legacy leather and ostrich Coach bag, which already has worn edges. We don't have to use animals for decoration to enjoy something beautiful!

I totally agree on the cruelty free thinking. I did not pay the price because of leather or not, but because i liked the design.

Do you treat your falabella with a waterrepeller of some kind? My shop assistant did not know what to treat it with...
