+ 1between the two, definitely the flap fringe. But yes, it's a trend piece, i'd personally invest in more classic looking bags if wanting to use it long term. But if you love it, then it's meant for you!![]()
They both look too trendy to me; I know there are a few other brands with fringe bags, and even beyond those, fringe is best left in the past. The "nicest" is one that's still trendy but there is a ton of work involved to make it (I've done a fair bit of bead work):Need help deciding between the flap fringe or the hobo fringe. Which one do you like better and if you think fringe is too trendy. Thanks!! View attachment 2677084 View attachment 2677085
I agree with this. I am not a fan of either but it looks best on the hobo shape rather than on the flap which looks like a flap with a mustache to me. I saw a pic of Jennifer Lopez carrying the hobo and think she pulls it off just fine. I would not expect to carry it for years or seasons to come though.I think the fringe works best with the hobo, which is a more casual bag. The flap looks odd, as if they just tacked fringe on a classic. Saying that, fringe IMO is a very trendy style. It will look dated when the next season/trend comes in. I don't think it's a summer look, in fact I think it looks more like fall/winter, especially in black leather.
