Riffs on Stella’s Falabella bag, including the diamond-cut chain, inspired by a horse bit, woven into the canopy, alongside vintage gold medallions and the Stella McCartney logo, really make this collection feel super luxe and special. The collection includes three strollers and coordinating accessories in a  Tobacco Brown colourway, finished with Saddle Brown accents in vegan leather alternatives.

It may feel counter-intuitive but read aloud while your child plays. Don’t demand eye contact. Just occasionally ask, “Was that a good choice?” or “What might happen now?” If you get no response, answer yourself and carry on. Try again later.

Forget the new pencil case (just for a moment!) — this back-to-school season, it’s all about what’s hanging from your school bag!

Whether it’s fun, funny, colourful or completely their own, the humble bag charm is having a major moment - and we’re totally here for it!
