Falabella Shimmer Faux Leather Tote

My Stella McCartney Falabella Shimmer Tote just arrived, I am completely enthralled. Not only am I happy to own her brand, I am pleased to support her design work. This bag is perfect, and I mean perfect. It is absolutely right-sized -- not too big and not too small. I can easily carry my large cell phone, my wallet, a small make-up pouch, packet of tissues, small purchases, and more. The two long slip pockets (aimed east-west) are large, well-placed, and easy to access because of their placement and the thickness of the "leather". The bottom slip pocket will hold my cell phone, and the top one will keep essential items such as my chap sticks [insert grin here]. The purse is well-constructed all over with thick material and presents a mod, stylish design. The beige lining is sturdy and contrasts nicely with the outside rose color; in no way is this a cheap lining. The large, shimmer logo adds a touch of fashionable zing to the bag. I was worried that these little "glimmers" would not be well-attached. Worries over! I also like the thickness and adjustability of the logo strap, which contrasts with the main color of the bag by including beige that matches the lining. I appreciate that a dust bag was also provided (not that the purse will spend much time in it). In my opinion, the color and design of this bag lends it to use year-round and to multiple purposes, such as hand bag, shoulder bag, and cross body or to day-time and night-time casual dress. I adore this dusty rose bag and will be watching for more additions to the McCartney line of clothes and accessories. Thank you, Nordstrom, for the fast, free shipping and the protective packagng. I'm really, really pleased.
