He says that fringe on Davy Crocket jackets is vital. Sometimes you need a leather strap, and then you can just cut one off. My boyfriend disagrees with me about the impracticality of fringe.

Interesting. Looks like scarves and bags with fringe are generally in favour. Laurel, you’re right. I cut that fringe off as soon as I got home. I do not have that bag anymore. That sling bag went to a client who absolutely loved it. It found a better home. Wow, far few takers for the fringe trend than I expected. Interesting.

It's hard to take care of and gets knotted up and gets caught in things. I try not to buy anything with fringe, but sometimes I can't resist a scarf or rug that is otherwise awesome. And then I may end up removing the fringe anyway. I like fringe just fine but find it very impractical. It’s hard to take care of and gets knotted up and gets caught in things.

I think it looks really tacky in most circumstances, though I admit to wearing a small amount of fringe on several small items, like scarves or the occasional bag. But otherwise it makes you look like a little kid trying too hard, someone who thinks they're a biker, or a cowboy. Especially when it's leather fringe. I don't like that at all.

I have a brown leather bag with fringe and the pair of tan moccasin boots with laces that Angie showed. For the last 15 years fringe was "in" twice, the first time in the mid-90s, which was when I made those two fringe purchases and another time a few years back. I wore my fringe happily both times. However, in the recent two years trends have come and passed much faster than before, so I'm not sure how "back" or "in" anything is nowadays. I love fringe on accessories.
