Trend of Next Spring: Bags with Fringe

Recently, Kate Moss has appeared in public with a bag decorated in “Indian” fringe – and this is surely proved to be a sign of an impending trend. And indeed: in the new collections there can be found many “fringed” designer handbags. Let’s look at them?
Sample one is the production of Bottega Veneta brand. Effective, but a little bit massive accessory is woven of leather cords of cream and chocolate brown colors. The firm “Bottega” weaving, reminiscent of grandmother’s baskets, is cut off from the bottom of the bag, forming a long and voluminous fringe making this bag looking enormous but with a small storage.

Emilio Pucci’s fringe is simpler, and the bag itself bears more traditional nature. It is made of flesh-colored skin and decorated with applications in tone, as well as – with decorative stitches, imitating hand stitches. The fringe is made from the basic material; these are just thin leather strips that decorate the vertical stitches of the bag. Hippie-style is confirmed by the wing located on the top of the accessory in which a leather cord is threaded. The bag is a typical modern bohemian purse.

Designers of Missoni brand presented a controversial novelty. They also used leather cords, of which the twisted handle of the bag and the decoration in the form of spaghetti are made – such an association caused this design in me. The beige color of the material only reinforced that impression. However, this bag as well will have fans for sure: we shall see it next spring.
