It’s no secret I have an affinity for designer handbags. Earlier this year, I shared my best tips for buying pre-owned designer handbags. Since then, I scooped up a couple more handbags for fall (like this gorgeous Rebecca Minkoff that I got during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) and now this vegan leather Stella McCartney Falabella Tote in a beautiful metallic finish.

But here’s a little secret: I got this handbag on sale at Neiman Marcus. It’s not luck, I swear. I’m just a designer handbag fanatic that’s extremely patient and willing to wait for pretty little bags to get marked down in price. Oh, and I also suggest befriending an honest S.A. who will hold your bag or notify you when a sale is coming. Getting the inside scoop is always a plus!

Stella McCartney is known for her fold-over tote bags made from vegan leather. This is my first vegan-friendly handbag so I’m pretty proud of my purchase. The metal curb-chain trim also gives it an edgy vibe. This bag paired with a silk and lace camisole, skinny jeans and a ribbed cardigan makes it the perfect outfit for the weekend.
