While the words “fringe messenger bag” may conjure images of a patchouli-scented, long-haired hippie chick with penchants for grass-grazing skirts and bare feet, the swaying embellished piece is a style secret for all types of smart sartorialists. Fringe is a natural with worn-in Levi’s for urban cowgirls (and this season’s double denim look), takes center stage with grungy leather rocker babes, and goes surprisingly sweet when worn with other saturated colors.
The favorite fringe at Angel Handbags is the Tylie Malibu Crystal Pyramid Fringe Messenger by Malibu-based designer Lisa Izad. With a thick tie strap for versatility and comfort, you can choose from three shades of soft distressed leather. We’re especially loving it in natural– the muted color would go just as gorgeously with jeans as it would with your favorite motorcycle boots. Wear ‘em both with your hair hung loose and add a splash of (grown-up) patchouli for a look that’s all your own.
