Not for me personally, I'm not a fan of organisers anyway but thedepth of the falabella isn't the same as the speedy so I think it would stretch the bag into an awkward, unusual shape.
 
Has anyone ever tried putting a bag organizer in their falabella? Cos I LOVE it!!
When I first got the idea, it felt like it got me an entirely new bag! :yahoo:
At the moment, I only have soft beauty cases or cardboard shopping bags to provisonally put inside, cos I don't own a felt bag organizer (yet).

But I'm planning on ordering one soon (or when the isolation situation has become more steady) - I assume the Speedy 30 bag organizer would fit best?
Just wanted to share my excitement for figuring out this falabella hack. Yay or nay? :P

I have the fine chain tote (which I love so much I had to buy a duplicate), and I put a lightweight felt bag organizer that I purchased on Amazon inside it.

OMG, it feels like a different bag! My things stay organized, and my bag keeps its shape beautifully! I will post some pics later. The bag organizer is this one, in a medium:


On a side note, when you carry your bag on your shoulder, if you will fold the flap that has the charm on top of the other flap, it will lay much better. A Saks SA shared that little tip with me.
 
I finally got one pre-owned, looks just gorgeous, it had massive ink stains on the inside but after cleaning, all gone. Anybody knows the exact name for this type /skin (crocodile, snake, etc.)... I am not good at these skins please.

Hi! Not sure if this is helpful but on the authentication thread, someone mentioned that you should check if your zipper has YKK on it. That's a good indicator of an authentic SM bag.

Your lining is tan, which means it's an older model therefore there's no tag inside the interior pocket.
 
Hi everyone!
I have a question for anyone with the mini version.
I had the larger size in black- it was soft, flexible, and folded over nicely. It ended up being too heavy for me so I purchased a mini version online (from codogirl in brand new condition). Not sure if it’s because it’s a printed version (Stubbs horse) but it’s more stiff and doesn’t really fold over like the big one did. Are all minis like this? I like when it’s more squishy; the material itself is soft so maybe the stitching is too tight and will loosen up with use? This one can stand upright on its own. Just curious of other’s experiences with the mini.
I still love it but it’s more like a structured tote at the moment!

I’m thinking of getting the original falabella tote in black and silver hardware because I saw it on sale for $800. Ive wanted this bag for about 5 years now but it seems no one wears it or talks about it anymore. Am I way too late to this party?

There was never really a big party for this bag. This is what makes it a classic.
