Spotted! A boho-chic fringe bag on my favorite Hilton. I just analyzed the fringe benefits of Gucci’s Spring pieces, but this new sighting nearly puts them to shame. Designer Sarah Battaglia showcases the best (and most fluid) use of fringe I’ve seen yet. And on Nicky, it’s my celeb bag of the day!
This shoulder bag capricious and fun, with plenty of movement to put some spring in your strut, but it doesn’t go overboard. A fully fringed strap is genius; it’s a flamboyant detail that leaves the softly structured body of the bag clean, maximizing the sense of versatility. In two-toned lambskin with colorblocked panels that are pitched perfectly with the cascading fringes, the overall effect is delightful, not disastrous.
Nicky knows. I caught up with the jet-setting social darling and designer early this morning, and she told me, “This is my perfect summer bag! I love the colors and details.” We love it, too. Especially with Nicky’s purposely mismatched ethnic-print outfit. Take a cue from her this weekend, and take your fringe free and easy. Sarah Battaglia is available at Luisa via Roma
