I appreciate organization. That’s not to say that I’m very good at it – my apartment gives most of my friends a headache, but there’s a theory to the chaos – I know exactly where everything is. Well, except my Blackberry, on occasion. But it’s usually just in one of my cup holders in my car, and not actually lost in my apartment, so that totally doesn’t count!

Anyway. I digress. Organization in design is an important trait, and the reason I’m kind of fond of the Great by Sandi Tal Suede Fringe Tote is because it’s a bit more orderly than your average fringe bag.

I always likes bags like these better when the fringe is attached at both ends. Instead of being loose and tangled, the fringe stays as it was intended, and the bag looks a bit more tailored than similar ones where the fringe is loose. The fringe embellishment retains all the movement and texture of its loose counterpart, but it’s slightly less messy. Buy through ShopBop for $578.

It's not "Great," it's hideous!

Not a fan of fringe!

Another car-wash bag!

ITA.

I like fringes, but in VERY little doses. This one is too much! If they can perhaps shorten the tassels somehow, then maybe, just maybe it'll look decent. Long tassels sometimes make the bag too cowboy-ish imo. I like the color though.

Love the color but really dislike the bag.

If I say I would like it minus the fringes we would be looking at a different bag?
