It's in a nice messenger, hobo shape with a braided handle that gives off that same bohemian vibe that the fringe does. But the main reason I'm fond of this fringe bag compared to all the other versions floating around is the fact that it...

Ruffles have been seen everywhere on the runways, and there are so many ways you can incorporate it into your wardrobe. When I used to think of ruffles, I'd think about stuffy white blouses.
