What to know about Stella McCartney

No leather, fur or exotic skins

Every category, from bags to footwear, is made without animal materials, with the house developing bio-based and recycled alternatives including mycelium and plant-based leather.

The Falabella carries the house

Bags are the anchor, led by the chain-trimmed Falabella tote, alongside platform sneakers that sit at the sportswear end of the range.

Independent again since 2025

McCartney bought back LVMH's minority stake in January 2025, returning the London house to independent ownership under CEO Amandine Ohayon.
