Stella McCartney’s iconic Falabella tote turns 15 years old

First launched during the Winter 2009 collection, this silhouette marked a before and after in the luxury fashion industry.

It’s been 15 years since Stella McCartney set out on a new path towards a more environmentally responsible and animal-friendly future by introducing the revolutionary vegan silhouette known as the Falabella Tote. Handcrafted by Italian artisans, the tote is completely free of any animal skins in favour of quality alternatives sourced from ocean plastics.

Throughout all this time, it has been versioned by different creatives and brands and has also been presented in different vegan alternatives such as MIRUM, VEGEA or YATAY, natural materials extracted from grapes, agricultural waste and recycled fibres.

Now, to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary, four limited edition styles have been designed: Craked Metallic, Studded, Crystal Fringe and Alter-Suede Fringe. All are available now at stellamccartney.com.
