… for a purse that’s polyester, I will admit to admiring this bag from afar. The Shaggy Deer Falabella Foldover Small Tote by Stella McCartney really caught my eye in cobalt blue. The style is one that has become a given for McCartney: the foldover Falabella with chains decorating the circumference of the bag, and, on this one, creating a shoulder strap. The colors she has chosen are what actually make the Falabella chameleon-like, changing the entire look with each new hue. While I love …

A roomy tote in bold black and white python trimmed with chains and neon pink fabric? I am so in! This Stella McCartney Falabella Python Print Big Tote is the type of accessory I love: It goes with everything because it’s not too colorful, but it also adds a much needed injection of punchy color to my neutral outfits. Available at MyTheresa for $1,265.

A classic case of a too much of a good thing. I was initially indifferent about the Stella McCartney “Falabella” bag, then I fell in love with the clutch. But this is chain-link trim overload! Now there is a bucket, quilted shoulder, slouchy bucket, metallic cross-body (because Lord knows you need your “Falabella” for evening after carrying one all day!), clutch, and a shopping tote. Nice way to ruin a perfectly decent bag. Maybe Stella and her accessories team are …

This Stella McCartney Gold Boucle Falabella Crossbody Bag has just the right balance of class and holiday sparkle. The boucle fabric is genteel, but the gold threads make it really shine. The amazing fabric is accented with bright gold toned chain detail which extends up to become the strap of the bag. Available at Savannah’s for $750.

Sometimes it just feels right to go all out and over the top. This Stella McCartney Falabella Fold-Over Clutch is a strong, chic statement bag that delivers major, unapologetic drama. The striking chain trim is the standout here, somehow even contrasting a bit with the softer yellow-gold hue of the bag. And naturally, it’s all done in Stella’s fantastic faux leather. When she gets it right, she really gets it right. Find it for $635 at MyTheresa. …

If you love Stella McCartney, and who doesn’t, you might want to add the Falabella Large Crocheted Shoulder Bag to your handbag collection. A perfect pick for summer, it’s white and light and a nice combo of old and new. Take a retro crocheted bag, add plenty of pompoms, outline it with a gunmetal chain, tack on a logo charm and you have a good example of this designer’s creative stance. Pulling …

Oh, good. Another overpriced bag from Stella McCartney. I definitely appreciate the designer’s animal-friendly techniques, but I can’t quite get behind or even understand why (besides the name) her bags cost so much. A replica of her Striped Canvas Tote (and dare I say a better version?) can probably be found just about anywhere in the country, from beach boardwalks to street fairs. To pay $515 for this is absurd, unless you’re …

… fascinated though. I collected horse figurines and other nicknacks. And I’m betting if this Stella McCartney Horses Tote had been around back then, I would have wanted it for my collection!

I like canvas tote bags. They are perfect for shopping and whatnot. This high contrast stuff that has been popping up lately is really growing on me. I love the sharpness of a black on white print. The fact that the print happens to be a herd of horses is just icing on the cake! I love the …

Much as I adore Stella McCartney and admire her steadfast commitment to animal-friendly design, I can’t help but notice a certain monotony in some of her work. Take her Monogrammed Cotton-Canvas Tote, for example. My distaste for obvious logos aside, I can’t possibly support a bag that is made of canvas, trimmed with faux leather and finished with a price tag that reads $1085. You must be kidding me. …

Though Stella McCartney is a master of faux leather handbags that (usually) look authentic, she doesn’t quite succeed with her Ava Metal-Framed Faux Python Box Clutch. A Stella design it may be, but this mustard-toned box, with its phony looking python print, just doesn’t make the grade. The sturdy silhouette is right on trend, but there are many box clutches out there – and most surpass this …
