Each season, we find Fashonistas sporting that one item that is on everyone’s got to have list. This season, it’s none other than the infamous Stella McCartney tote. This summer, you will probably see everyone and their mother wearing this purse. It’s one of those timeless styles that can be paired with practically anything. The tote is made of Falabella shaggy deer to give it softness and finished off with a coating that gives it a shiny, leather-look. The mixing of these two textures gives the bag the look of a shimmery suede-like polyester—aka, perfection. The bag is also outlined with metal chain trims and offers dual carrying options for those indecisive fashionistas.
My favorite thing about this bag is how versatile it is. This Fashionista paired her Stella McCartney tote with a super laid back outfit that consisted of of dark denim skinnies, a black tank top and nude sandals. Yet, this bag could also go with a more polished look. You could also wear the smaller version of the Stella McCartney tote for a dressed-up event, like to a fashion show!
How To: Yes, these Stella McCartney tote bags don’t come at a cheap price, and we all may not be willing to break the bank (yes, because of you student loans). But you can find an abundance of different bags with the same look. Chain handle bags are seen in almost every store and becoming a chic essential. This bag from Forever 21 incorporates the same chain-trim of the Stella McCartney tote. The faux leather gives it a luxe shine, as well. Steve Madden also makes some great pieces with the same woven in chain like the sides of the Stella McCartney tote. This style of bag is almost identical and practically a tenth of the price! I also am in love with this chic backpack by Steve Madden-new Summer carryall? Yes, please. As you can see, there are many options to capture the essence of Stella’s designs in your own unique way, and budget. I promise, you will look Stella-r.
