How To Authenticate a Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

[@mr.chinikipaka4449]

Thank you so much! I just bought one at a thrift shop for $10! It’s authentic and this video helped a ton. :)

Thank you so much for this video, really helpful. Have you ever seen a case where a real Falabella chain has kind of dekaninated to a coppery tone through wear? Mine has done this and all other indications show it to be authentic, apart from that. For context, I bought it preloved online. Thanks x

I didn't know the shaggy deer material was actually more expensive than leather. My missus has a few of Stella McCartney's bags, purses and coin wallets and loves them. I've just reported a fake bag on Ebay which at first sight looked ok. But it has no has no code inside, the cross over strap buckles are wrong and there are tags inside mentioning polyester that aren't inside my wife's Mini logo black cross over bodybag

[@virtudiaries1525]

Nicely done! Thank you.

Do each wallet have a designer code or number inside ?

[@larry4789]

Yes.

Nancy Pinnington Hey Nancy, great question! Yes I have seen this before and I believe it to be fairly common with these bags, and designer pieces in general. The tarnishing of the metal can happen over time as it is exposed to the elements - so this can even happen on a new bag. I know Stella McCartney do look at repairing damaged bags, whether or not they’d repair/replace the chains I don’t know, but may be worth contacting them as a starting point. Failing that - I think the Handbag Spa in the UK offer a repair service for this problem thehandbagspa.com/treatment-list/ Hope this helps!
