Are you sick of fringe yet? On some bags I feel as though the fringe is far too much and then on others it still works. The new bags that are coming out still have a bit of fringe to them, but the fringe is back to being used as an accent, but the focal point of the bag. Clearly, this Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Miles Fringe Bag is still on the go fringe or go home band wagon and it might work.

Black pebbled leather clearly has fringe trim around the majority of the bag. At first glance I wasn’t sure I liked the chain detail on the shoulder strap, but I actually think it works. Without the fringe trim, the gold chain would seem too bulky for this particular bag. And while this would be a fun bag to grab for a night out, I’m still not so sure I am sold on the fringe. Are you? Buy through Shopbop for $250.

I don't have any particular opinion about fringe; it's just how it's done. I just dislike this bag; the design does nothing for me.

I don't like fringe on a bag.

Geez...another curtain bag

I like it more than some of the other fringe bags.
Not much of a glowing endorsement.

Not for me.

This entire handbag line is very sloppy-looking -- reminds me of F+C in that it gives off an overpriced yet under-finished vibe. Hopefully the designer (who actually does some great clothing) will improve this aspect of her line with time.

That line of fringe across the bottom of this bag could have been done away with completely and this would not have been an awful bag.

It is not completly bad. I like the handle and I would not mind fringe only in the bottom although I am not a fringe person
