Veske_gal said:Cobalt blue sounds sooo nice. They did not have this option were i bought mine.. Do you mind posting a picture of it? I would really like to see it
Oh nice! What colour did you go for? Sure! Will post pictures as soon as I get the chance. It's on its way now and I cannot wait! x
My electric/cobalt blue SM falabella fold-over bag arrived last week and I thought I'd share it w/ u ladies. I've been busy so no posing pics w/ it I'm afraid.
I am in love w/ it! The colour is amazing. It is a true cobalt blue colour and my friend studying fashion told me that it will go out of trend soon, but I don't care, it's such a gorgeous colour!
The fabric is light and can give in into the heavy chains, and so going lopsided, but only if it is empty. So best to keep those paper tissues that comes w/ the bag for better storage.
Weight is not an issue to me cos I own a grained leather givenchy nightingale and the weight is ridiculous. I consider myself quite a strong girl and it is still very heavy for me. But no such issue w/ the SM.
Looks fabulous. The chain is a gunmetal colour, not silver. But still shiny and nice. The fabric is like suede when felt (but not as 'furry' as suede) and looks like leather w/ its light reflective properties. Does NOT look cheap at all. If u want to stand out, this is definitely the bag for u.
There is a zipped compartment inside, great for handphone, some makeup, little items, etc. It doesn't hold as much as the nightingale because its base area isn't very big (ie: thin in size). So if u put in a lot, it'll turn out looking bulky in the middle and then thinners at the bottom. But it still hold quite a reasonable amount of things.
Anyways, here is the pic w/ emphasis on its fabric and chains. Hope all that info helped! x
P.S: Picture taken in natural lighting. x

That is such a gorgeous colour! I've just ordered one in black (I'm boring!). Can't wait for it to arrive
I spotted those Falabella at Theresa (the physical mytheresa Shop in Munich) two weeks ago:

I can't believe I just now found this thread---I'm obsessed with Stella's bags! I purchased my first Falabella and then was hooked and now have several. I know it's silly to have so many of the same bag, but I just love it! It holds up better than leather imo and holds so much! I prefer the larger size but have a couple of the small ones too. I just got the large one in this Cobalt blue color and am in love! It is absolutely gorgeous in person.

I saw it on NM online a few days ago--I don't think it ships for a while but I love the color! They also have it in the large Falabella tote.
Hi falabella owners, I really love love love the versatile look of the bag 
I'm about to get my first bag and am curious how is the chain holding up with regular use? Does the gold/silver chain tarnish with use? TIA.

I have quite a few Stellas that I use daily and have never had problems with the chain. Honestly, my Stellas have held up better than any of the other bags I own.
Aside from that, I'm surprised that the blue went on sale so quickly. I bought it right when it came out and feel like it went on sale not long after--I've gotten so many compliments and thought it was such a great color, apparently not. But I was lucky enough to grab the black falabella and a wine/maroon one during holiday sales. The more I carry them the more I fall in love with them.
hi ladies,
i have a problem with my falabella.
i bought the bag on yoox with a very special price....only 383 euro.
but the bag has a defect on fabric. like a bubble.
i'm very disappointed and i'm thinking to return it.
i0m very sad because i love that bag at such amazing price ;(
what do you think about it?

Thanks, emcosmo, Stellas are just such a beauty aren't they? No matter what colors you get, I'm sure they look stunning on you!
Btw I saw some versions with tweed-like fabrics -- those are gorgeous too!
oh dear... do you think there's any way to save/repair the fabric? If not, I would return it if I were you. imho maybe it's because of the 'flaw' that the bag has such a big discount? It's really up to you, whether you can accept a defect on the bag.
They are gorgeous! I love their simplicity and the chain detail. I've been eyeing the tweed ones for a while but haven't jumped on them yet. But I'm sure I'll cave soon, especially since a few are on sale now!
