An ideal companion for dinners, gallery openings or weekend city strolls, this vintage Stella McCartney Mini Falabella in dark blue Shaggy Deer with ruthenium-tone chain brings refined edge to any outfit. Carry by the dual chain handles or the shoulder strap; a compact, pink logo-jacquard interior with pocket keeps essentials secure with a magnetic snap.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What fits inside the Stella McCartney Mini Falabella Tote? A: Typically, it holds daily essentials: a smartphone, compact wallet or cardholder, keys, lipstick, hand sanitiser and slim sunglasses in a soft sleeve. It generally won’t accommodate A4 documents or most tablets; mini tablets may fit depending on the exact edition. For certainty, compare your items with the Measurements on this page or ask us to check fit against this specific bag.
Q: Can I wear it crossbody, and are the straps adjustable? A: Many Mini Falabella totes have dual top handles plus a long chain strap for shoulder or high crossbody wear. The chain is usually fixed (not adjustable). We’ll list the handle/strap drop under Measurements—if anything is missing, just ask and we’ll confirm for this exact piece.
Q: How secure is the closure and what pockets does it have? A: Most Mini Falabella totes feature a magnetic snap at the top and an interior slip pocket. Layout can vary by season and edition, so please review our photos and description for the exact configuration of this item.
Q: What materials is the Falabella made from? A: Stella McCartney bags are crafted from animal‑free materials—often the brand’s signature Shaggy Deer/Alter‑Nappa (a high‑quality synthetic) with a soft lining and diamond‑cut chain trim in a gold‑tone or ruthenium‑tone finish. The listing for this piece specifies the exact materials, hardware finish and country of origin.
Q: How should I care for the vegan material and chain? A: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh cleaners, alcohol, acetone and prolonged heat/sunlight. Be mindful of colour transfer from dark denim or fresh dyes. For the chain, wipe with a dry cloth after use and avoid contact with lotions and perfumes. Store the bag lightly stuffed, upright, in a breathable dust bag, and place a soft cloth/felt between the chain and the bag to prevent imprints.
Q: Is the bag water‑resistant? A: The materials are not fully waterproof. If caught in light rain, blot (don’t rub) with a soft cloth and allow to air‑dry away from direct heat. If you choose to use a protector, select one suitable for synthetic materials and test first on a discreet area.
Q: Is the Mini Falabella heavy or comfortable to wear? A: The chain trim adds some weight compared with fabric‑strap styles, but most users find it comfortable for everyday essentials. Distribute weight evenly, avoid overfilling, and alternate between shoulder and crossbody carry for comfort on longer days.
Q: Will the chain snag delicate clothing or mark the bag? A: The diamond‑cut chain can catch on very delicate knits or lace. Take care around such fabrics. To prevent chain imprints on the bag, store with the chain wrapped in a soft cloth and avoid pressing it against the exterior for long periods.
Q: Where are the brand markings located? A: Authentic pieces typically feature a Stella McCartney logo disc on the chain, an interior logo stamp and a “Made in [country]” label, plus a care/contents tag. Placement and wording can vary slightly by season—contact us if you’d like close‑up photos for this specific item.
Q: Is the Mini Falabella still produced? A: Yes—the Falabella is a signature line for Stella McCartney, with seasonal colours and finishes released regularly. Pre‑loved pieces are ideal for finding past seasons or specific trims.
Q: What accessories are included and how do you authenticate? A: Any included items (e.g., dust bag, box) are listed under “Accessories.” If an accessory isn’t mentioned there, it isn’t included—feel free to ask us to confirm. Every item at A Retro Tale undergoes rigorous, multi‑point authentication by our in‑house experts, assessing materials, stitching, hardware, stamps/labels and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
