The Tatum Fringe bag by Jimmy Choo is what everyone secretly wants. The master  craftsmen with his ability to make designs that woo the fashion world and celebrities alike has come up with his version for the fringe trend this season. Made out of part leather, part suede and woven patterns with embossed patches is singing the right tune this season. It is boho,  chic and definitely sexy.

Metal studs which are quite in demand on accessories this season have been combined with tassels to give it a formal party look to help glamorize your night out. The Vieta Edith hobo bag in charcoal black, matte grey, and plum purple is large enough to carry all your basic items. Carry in the evening teamed with a nice dress and gladiator sandals to complete the look. Or you can team it with skinny jeans and a moto jacket.

What I love about this trend is that it can be teamed with any sort of outfit to up the style quotient. The fringe bags had first appeared on the scene during the sixties and seventies. After having vanished from the ever changing fashion scene for a while it returned in 2007. Brought back into fashion by the House of Prada. This season they're definitely an accessory to get your hands on. So go out and add a pinch of tassel on your bag.
