Season after season, there is always a trend that manages to come back into the fray and surprise us. Such is the case with the return of one specific handbag trend: fringe bags. Although fashion has been seeing a Western craze recently, we're still surprised at how many fringe bags were spotted on the 2024 runways. Fringe played a dominant role in the collections from Chloé and Louis Vuitton, acting as focal points for conversations surrounding the comeback of boho and Western chic. The style was also spotted on the runways of Versace, Dries Van Noten, and Gabriela Hearst.
Of course, donning a head-to-toe fringe look isn't for everyone, so the next best thing is fringe bags. What's great about the return of this formerly dated handbag trend is that it's the perfect way to ease yourself back into the idea of wearing fringe. Additionally, newer iterations of this trend are far posher than their predecessors. (Think of the cliché boho-inspired fringe bags that dominated the mid-2000s.) The recent iterations focus on unconventional materials, shapes, and colors to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
