Bag Review: Stella McCartney Falabella Tote


Over fashion week, the one bag that I saw more than five times on five different people is the Stella McCartney Falabella toteicon.

And when carried,

In hot pink trim (I like!!)

It initially reminded me of a Chanel tote– after all, Chanel is one of the only premier brands I know that have continued to use chain straps on bags, so much so that it has become identified with the brand.

Stella McCartney has worked with the chain strap as a winning formula for her bags as well. I have “test- handled” the bag and it was a tad heavy again because of the chain strap. But then again if people were willing to carry a Chanel chain tote, there is no reason not to like this Falabella bag which is also a fraction of the cost of a Chanel bag (omg can you believe the astronomical price increase of the classic flap? Sob!)
The bag is quite nice even if it’s made of faux python. The solid colored version of the bag is actually made from faux leather as well. Quite a pricey bag if you ask me but it’s quite pretty and is growing on me.
The natural faux python versions (my pick: the pink trimmed one) are available at LuisaViaRoma while the yellow faux python version (just as gorgeous) is available at Net-A-Portericon
Would you take the plunge and buy this bag? 🙂
