It finally got here!
Here are a few pictures
picture of the bag empty
This is with my things in it
It did end up being tan, I like it but was expecting pink
I do love the bag but am trying to figure out if I want to keep it. I was expecting it to be a little more slouchy instead of square, I'm not sure if it's just because it's the smaller version.
It is also difficult because the bags fabric picks up every little piece of lint/hair and I do have a lot of pets in my home
I will post some modeling pictures tomorrow!

Do you think maybe there is some static or because it is brand new? I have two cats and hardly ever have problems with mine. The only time hair/lint is an issue is when the cats lay on the bag (for some reason they love my handbags).
I bought a fold-over falabella (black) last February so it's coming onto a year now that I've had it. I never had the opportunity to see it in person and I ordered it online at Neiman Marcus. I can tell you that it was love at first sight with this bag. And that rarely happens to me as I'm VERY indecisive when it comes to bags. I thought about it for 6 months before I bought it.
Pros:
1. It is MORE beautiful in person than what you see online. The chains are great quality with a 'weight' to them and they are gunmetal (not silver). They are very shiny. The bag also has a sheen to it but a nice sheen not a cheap, 'garbage' bag type of sheen lol. It feels like suede but not as furry/fuzzy.
2. At least where I live, this bag is not that common. So it stands out but not because it has logos plastered all over it. It stands out for its design. I receive the absolute MOST compliments on this bag and from complete strangers (even salesMEN lol).
3. No logos. There is one circular charm hanging off one of the short chain handles and it says Stella McCartney on it. But it's not overly obvious! It's an attention grabbing bag but not because it has the designer name all over it. If people don't know the design, they wouldn't even know it was a 'designer' bag.
4. It's versatile. You can carry it as a tote or you can be hands-free and carry it using the longer chain strap. It looks gorgeous folded over like that. Apparently you can also use it as a clutch but I don't find it's very comfortable that way as the bag lacks the necessary structure.
5. It's not leather. If this bag were leather then combined with the weight of the chains, it would be VERY VERY heavy. I would not have bought this if it were leather because of the weight. This is why I could never buy the Alexander Wang Rocco...lots of hardware+leather=back breaking bag.
Cons:
1. The same pro about the chains being good quality and 'weighty' is also a con. The chains are HEAVY! If you are used to heavier bags, you'll be ok. But if you have shoulder/neck problems (as I do), you will have a hard time carrying this bag every single day. When I first got it, I was reaching for it constantly and wanted to carry it every day. After two months, my neck and shoulders were really strained and I had to take a break from it.
2. It's more of a 'winter' bag because if you carry it as a tote in the crook of your arm when you are wearing short sleeves, the chains will dig into your flesh. I find it most comfortable when I'm wearing a coat/jacket.
3. It's not leather. To some people, this will be a dealbreaker considering the price. But see my last 'pro' point and you'll see why I don't consider the non-leather factor a con.
4. If you like a lot of compartments and pockets, you won't like this. It only has one inside pocket and it's not that big. I personally don't mind.
I hope this helps!

I think it's fab. I have the fold over version. I use it every couple of weeks, but when I do I always get comments and admiring glances. If you're not sure, then I would return. It should be love within 5 seconds!
Hi! I love love love the Falabella bag and won it on eBay. However, something is not quite right the more I look at the pictures. Does the magnetic snap button supposed to have the logo inscribed on it? I saw a number online with it.
Hi ladies, appreciate if someone could help me out on this.
I bought a Falabella as I adore it so much but something seems to be wrong.
Does all falabella have the logo inscribed on the button snap?
Any help is much appreciated!
Here is the link. The last picture also
Shows a hook at the right. Is this normal?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks guys!

I clicked on the link and it says the listing has been removed. Mine has the logo on the button snap. I hope you haven't been sold a fake
I would be careful buying a Falabella on eBay because they sell a ton of fakes on ioffer.com and people can buy them for like $100 then auction them on eBay. I haven't found anyone on here who can authenticate them either.
I can't view the listing either but if you aren't sure or if the seller doesn't have much feedback then I wouldnt go through with the transaction.
Here is a picture of my falabella with the logo on the button snap:

It might just be static like you said! I didn't think of that, maybe it came from being in the dust bag. Haha my cats love my handbags too
I agree that it should be love within 5 seconds, that's why I'm confused! I was literally dreaming about this bag lol. Maybe I'm just not sure because I didn't get to try on all the styles, I might try to get to a store to try the fold over version instead! Do you like that style the best?
I just bought this style in black for my daughter today at nordstroms. I like it much better than the foldover tote. I like how the opening is at the top better. It's a gorgeous bag. I can't see this up close but it looks a lot like the one I just bought.

Oh nooo!
I managed to upload pics here. The bags looks like the real thing except for the logo on the magnetic snap button though. Can there be any exception??
