Trend Alert – Fringed Bags

If you’re a bagaholic, like so many of us here at offersboutique.co.uk, you will absolutely love the fringed bag frenzy which has enraptured the fashion world of late. Taking influence from the nostalgic 70s trend which seems to be everywhere right now, fringing breathes new life into classic bag shapes and styles. So whether you’re partial to a cross body handbag, satchel, or shopper, take a look at our favourite 3 bags which should help you take hold of this trend and make room in that extensive bag collection, because this is one stylish trend you’ll love to have swinging by your side.

Topshop Black Leather Lazer Cut Fringed Bag

Firstly we have this Topshop Black Leather Lazer Cut Fringed Bag in the classic envelope style, a popular shape for going out handbags as there is ample room for those night out essentials. The black bag also features a cross body strap, keeping the body of the bag swinging low by your hip, so as to accent your overall outfit rather than steal the limelight. We find strong hints of that hot seventies trend in the long fringe detail which adds a statement appeal to a simple shape and also in the amazing cut out feather detailing on the flap, an eye catching detail which we love. The fringed bag features an inside zip pocket to keep your belongings safe and a magnetic clip fastening. Although slightly pricey compared to other Topshop bags, at £65, this fringed bag boasts being 100% leather, so will feel soft and well made, a luxury bag that will last a long time, and in a timeless colour like black could well become a staple handbag taking pride of place in any wardrobe.

Miss Selfridge Suede Bead Fringed Bag

If you’re feeling inspired by the colour pop summer trends, take a look at this Suede Bead Fringed Bag from high street favourite Miss Selfridge in tantalising turquoise. We love the white beading embellishment; the colour scheme hints at white sands and turquoise seas, a real Mediterranean treasure. In terms of price, this suede fringed bag is a snip at £32 as it is 100% leather, it also features a long adjustable strap and flap design to keep treasured items safe. For a more laid back and bohemian example of the current seventies trend, we think this embellished bag would look great strolling along a sun kissed beach when teamed with a flowing gypsy maxi skirt and long feather earrings.

Accessorize Macramé Tassle Cross Body Bag

Last, but by no means least, we have this nude Macramé Tassle Cross Body Bag from Accessorize, a more elegant fringed bag, with macramé detail which hasn’t looked so good since its last round of popularity in the seventies. Our favourite features are the long plaited strap and elegant gold bead detail, especially the random placed beads found in the fringing. This macramé bag boasts a zip fastening to keep your more precious belongings safe, and is a versatile piece, at £32, easily added to a sophisticated summer wedding outfit or to accent a casual holiday look as you wander the markets of far flung countries.
