We do so love a metallic handbag because it goes with everything quite nicely. Especially when it's in a sophisticated shade of not quite gold, not quite platinum, not quite bronze like Stella's slouchy pouch.
In addition, the generous shape makes it a bag that is suitable for Real Life, meaning it can actually hold the things you need to get through the day.
Should you not know, Stella's entire collection is "cruelty free," meaning she does not use animal products, leather and so on for her designs. Instead, she continually comes up with innovative alternatives, such as this metallic treatment on what is essentially a faux leather bag. You'll find many more designers adopting this philosophy going forward -- at least for part of their collections -- so that we can all make a choice about how (and where and of what) our fashions are made.
