Fringe Bag Fun!

Clutches, Hobo Bags, and More this week with the Fringe Design Bags!

I've tackled the Fringe Bag topic for the first time after a long rest! Fringe was first popularized in the 1920s as a modern look. It was also highly associated with the hippies in the 1960s.


Even before the 20th century though, fringes could be found all around the world in in history as it originally served as a type of gutter that repelled rainwater from the wearer.

During the Renaissance though, fringe became a wealth and luxury item - particularly in Western Europe - by placing them on shoulders & cuffs. The current iteration of fringes can be most seen with bags, clutches, and dresses as they are still a popular style to this date! Following this, I made three different designs based on the fringe look!

The smallest of the three fringe designs, the Sorena Fringe Cross Bag features a strap long enough for a shoulder length carry experience. Maybe that's too long? No worries as the straps are also adjustable!

  Finally, the Nina Fringe Clutch is the representative partner in crime for your night out!
