Sorry, I do not like the bag on post 1, but I do like Gerard Darel even if fringes are not for me.

Saw this Cleobella in my ShopBop email the other day and was quickly sold out. I am strangely attracted to it though. It looks like one of the dogs in the Westminister show!

Prefer the dark brown.

Ugh fringe bags. I've only seen one I really like (the Hayden Harnett Wyeth Tote) because the fringe was so subtle. And even still I'm hesitant to purchase it because of my aversion to fringe.

I suppose most of all I just don't like those fringe bags where it's like BAM THEY LOOK AT ME FRINGE WAGGLE WAGGLE. Also I feel the look is so trendy that once the fad stops you'll be stuck with a giant fringed leather bag that cost $XXX and looks out of date.

Congrats Spielberg!

Nice pick-up.

I'll be watching for modeling pics!

even though it reminds me of a rodeo, i still love these bags! but they should be worn with something simple, and avoid wearing it alongside something else with fringing! otherwise you really will look like your out of a western...

I am strangely attracted to it too! LoL I don't know why exactly but I think I love it! And in general I do not like fringe at all...I came really close to buying the HH wyeth but I just couldn't convince myself I liked it enought even though HH can do little wrong in my book. But that is as close as I've come to liking fringe.

I don't like too much fringe, but I don't mind a handful of tassels from the zipper pull or if it's a flap bag and it trails down the middle. I remember seeing one of these fringe bags on Megs' Purse Blog and I loved it. Impractical but would look nice w/ a white outfit and Inuit moccasins.

Fringe gets the

from me but if you love it, who cares?!

VintageChic · Feb 25th, 2009, 10:59 AM

oh that's a cute one! I like fringe, it's not ness a bad thing, the hippie tie to it.
CONGRATS! :)

BagLuver · Feb 25th, 2009, 11:43 AM

I'm not a fan. Fringe bags are just not my style.

i_love_yorkie · Feb 25th, 2009, 11:45 AM

not a Fringe fan, but i like this one

jmcadon · Feb 25th, 2009, 12:53 PM

I like some fringe on a bag, but I think you have to be careful not to over-do it. It is also kind of young looking so if you are over 40 (I am) I'd say get one with tassles.
