Basically, style info, which are new, older, what to buy, stay away from, etc. I have a pretty basic knowledge of my Balenciagas thanks to the Forum here but there's no forum for SM.
There is no guide on here specifically but there are a few threads if you do a search. If you're specifically interested in the falabella then I have heard of none to stay away from as such.
I didn't realise there were such things as buying guides for bags. I have never found it too difficult to just find something I like then search for reviews on it and buy.

I have had quite a few Stella bags, wallets and card cases. I haven't had a single issue with any of them even with everyday use. The shaggy deer material is very durable as are the chains. They are great everyday bags and worth the money.
As for styles, the Falabella tote in the small size is probably the most popular. They have them with both two chains and three chains (the foldover style).
Stella recently introduced black chains instead of the silver and gold. I just purchased a flap bag with black chains so I will see how that wears. HTH

Thank you for replying to my post. I'm used to going to the Balenciaga forum and looking thru the info based on styles, colors, etc. I read this whole thread looking for info on weight of the chains, durability of the handbag, cleaning, etc. Glad it has very good reviews and will def buy one as a Christmas present to myself.
If you don't overstuff the bag, the weight of the chains is not a problem. I have used Falabella bags as everyday bags for a few years now. Cleaning the bag can be done with soap and water, but I haven't had to clean any of my bags yet, but I have only had darker colors..black, navy, burgundy and brown. The lighter colors will pick up some dirt.
As I mentioned above, they are very durable and don't have to be babied at all.
I agree with Jess236, the shaggy deer material is durable and gorgeous. I have a chamois large tote in black that is stunning. I love these bags - with one exception, the fold over, it’s very awkward to carry. I never got the hang of it (too slouchy!).
The foldover has to be folded correctly so that it doesn't look sloppy. The interior pocket has to be against your body when you do the fold. Then you will have a neat fold.
Otherwise the fold will be sloppy and the ends won't meet as in the pic below.
But I think the foldover looks best when it is carried by the smaller chains in the hand or on the elbow or shoulder (if your arms are slim enough).
Hello everyone!
I really like the Falabella bag in grey. I was just wondering if the grey bag is a lot more difficult to keep clean than the black or dark blue one? I don’t put my handbags on the floor, but I’m curious if fingerprints and dirt are really visable on the bag.
