Sunday Steals: Stella McCartney Falabella Small Chain-Trimmed Bag on a Budget

Dolls, to the left feast your eyes upon Stella McCartney’s fabulous Falabella Small Chain-Trimmed Bag – the very same one seen upon the arm of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, Kate Walsh, Diane Kruger, and Ms. Stella McCartney herself; to the right take a gander at Spiegel’s saucy Foldover Bag with Chains.

While the Spiegel stunner harbors a snap closure, as opposed to the magnetic opening of the magnificent McCartney; for a mere $49.00, in comparison to the $995.00 price tag of the McCartney marvel, it is the perfect compromise for the frugal fashionista. And, given the fact that McCartney’s line is cruelty-free, both are constructed out of faux-leather; therefore, by snatching up the less costly of the two, you aren’t forsaking quality – rather, you are simply holding fast to an extra $946.00!

Which role have you decided to undertake on this sultry Sunday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?


Fashionably yours!

  17. I love the bolder black of Spiegel's bag instead of the gunmetal gray that S. McCartney's bag seems to be. Hope you're having a great day, hon.

  18. I can't spend $1000 on a purse. That is against my nature. A tote? Maybe. Love your Sunday Steals!

  19. The Spiegel is an amazing buy, darling!
    You really do your research!

    Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday, E!

  24. I would have to go for the less expensive version. I actually like the color better.

  25. Wow, that is one good alternative to the Stella bag! Although I fear both might be a tad too heavy for me with all those chains...

    ReplyDelete

  27. Mmm, that style isn't really my thing, but it's a fabulous find nonetheless! And the fact that they're both faux-leather...I don't know why anyone would pick the Stella.

    ReplyDelete
