This is a single-brand page. Every bag below is Stella Mccartney, which makes the comparison a fair one for once. The range runs from Falabella vegetarian material shoulder bag at $695 to Falabella medium vegetarian material shoulder bag at $1450, across 20 pieces. Most of the line is raffia, which is what you are really choosing when you compare two pieces at the same price. If you are buying one thing, start at the bottom of the range and only move up when the leather and hardware genuinely changes.

Check the drop and the opening before the leather. A bag you cannot get your hand into quickly stops being used within a month. The jump from $695 to $1450 buys leather and hardware, not a different idea, so decide how often you will actually carry it before you pay the top of the range.

Buy Falabella mini vegetarian material shoulder bag at $1225. It sits in the middle of the range, and the middle is where you stop noticing any improvement in leather and hardware. Falabella vegetarian material shoulder bag at $695 is the sensible first purchase if you have never owned one and are not sure how often you will carry it. Falabella medium vegetarian material shoulder bag at $1450 is the one to skip unless you already know the brand suits you, because at that price it holds less than you think. Load it with what you actually carry before you cut the tags. A bag that needs editing down to close is the wrong bag, however good the leather is.
