At this point I think it’s safe to say that fringe isn’t a trend, but an accepted staple embellishment. About a year and a half ago I bought this Hayden-Harnett tote and this flap bag (both in black), and I remember thinking god I hope the fringe doesn’t makes these look dated in a few months. Now, all this time later, not only aren’t they outdated, but Jimmy Choo has a bag that kind of looks like a combo of the two! The Jimmy Choo Tatum Fringe Shoulder Bag that J. Lo is sporting retails for $2,695 (or about 5 times the price I paid for my two HH bags combined!), and is chic and fun. The combo of the fringe and the over-the-knee boots may be a bit over-the-top, but hey, it’s J.Lo and even at 41 she makes it work!
What do you think about fringe? Do you agree that it’s a trend that’s here to stay?
