Default Versace 'Couture Fringes' extra large hobo.


This season, I’ve seen many brands and designers add fringe detail to their accessories, (especially targeted in handbags). What do you all think of fringe? Is the style back, or should it stay in whatever fashion era it was left in? Personally, I can’t say I like it fringe, but I don’t hate it either. Some handbags look decent with fringe, while others can simply be called fashion-disaster!

Take for example, Versace’s Couture Fringes extra large hobo. Many can agree, that Versace’s extra ordinary handbags are either a hit or a miss, depending on whom you ask. Some like Versace’s noticeable handbags, while others, seem to dislike the extras Versace always seems to apply to its handbags. Versace’s Couture Fringes hobo is finished in a whole grained leather body, and two-toned hardware. Laced leather runs vertically through the center of the handbag, and yes, Versace did add one of its favorite details, studs! Studs can be found running down the side of the bag, and around its zipper area. I like the dimensions of this hobo. Measuring in at 21” x 14” (excluding the fringe), this handbag is huge, and certainly not an everyday-bag size. So overall, what do I think about this Versace? Personally, I dislike it a lot; it contains way too much fringe for my taste, and the shape of the bag isn’t really appealing to me. What about you Bagista’s? Would you wear this Versace?

I have looked now on that page.. all that bags are from old collections. I have seen so many beautiful new Versace bags in stores. I would never wear this

^^^ Yes, it is not a new bag by Versace... instead, I was reffering to the fringe, and how many bags are coming out with Fringe....

I think the fringe makes the bag a little less timeless and a bit more trendy... If I were to get a bag with fringe I would get a no name brand

I think THAT bag has waaay too much. If it's a smaller bag, then it looks okay, I guess.

Yep... everyone hated the Kiki Hobo from Coach too. LOL! Fringe is apparently a no-no. I didn't think it was necessarily a no-no but definitely difficult to pull off.

Too much fringe for my taste. I like a western look on some things, but minimally.
