Fashion's Western Craze Just Brought Back This Surprising Handbag Trend
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.
Not convinced this comeback is for you? Ahead, we've rounded up the best fringe bags at every price point to shop right now. If these bags don't make you a fan of fringe, you'll never be one.
If we had to pick one brand that's mastered Western style, it would be Isabel Marant.
Urban Outfitters' styling is correct—this is the kind of bag you pair with a double-denim outfit.
This crossbody is simple and spacious enough for everyday wear but also feels special with the side fringes.
If you thought the Le Cagole was cool, this fringe version will impress you further.
You can easily pair this tan bag with so many spring outfits. It's a neutral item, but the fringe adds some fun!
Petit Kouraj is known for its handmade fringe bags, and we never get tired of seeing them. They come in a wide assortment of colors.
Chemena Kamali is bringing boho back to Chloé, so we predict you'll see a lot of the brand soon.
This is the statement piece your wardrobe is missing.
