I used to like fringe bags, but now I don't.

debsmith · Feb 25th, 2009, 01:08 PM

I think it depends on the person carrying it, and what they're wearing...I've only seen a few women that could pull one off. I love this one, another GD:

debsmith · Feb 25th, 2009, 01:13 PM

And VB....well....she can pull anything off. I looooove this bag on her. On anyone else....not so much. I've accepted the fact that the tassels on my Bal are enough for me.

popcorn_blossom · Feb 25th, 2009, 06:13 PM

no fringe for me thanks. I feel its too much of a fad.

Not really, too fussy and often 'hippyish'.

Those Gerard Darel fringe bags are nice.

jmcadon · Feb 27th, 2009, 04:36 PM

I can't help it, I just love this Choo bag!

I love fringing; I have the Mulberry 'Laurie' in orange (!) and I love it. I love that bag in your post. Fringing does seem to be something which divides people, you either love it, or hate it. If you love it; get it. x

TaylorH · Feb 27th, 2009, 05:08 PM

Sisa · Feb 27th, 2009, 10:53 PM

drat! i'm 44! going on 12!

I like them if they're done well.

I've never really been sure why so many people on here don't? Is it the Western connotation?

I have a really nice Russell & Bromley chocolate suede fringed bag that I bought in the late '90s/early '00s that I haven't used in a while, I keep meaning to dig it out.

I have to say, though, that I'm really more into tassels than fringes, at the moment.

I like fringe usually, but then I love hippie style :) I've been looking for a fringed bag actually, The HH Wyeth hobo (I think that's the name) is pretty awesome looking. I just bought a pair of fringed suede boots in dark brown, and they're gorgeous!

In fact, I actually love the infamous fringed LV bag from a couple of years ago!

And I know many people hate it!

Congrats Spielberg on the Hogan! It's adorable!
