Whilst florals, bright colours, sheer fabrics, all signify the arrival of spring, this year however, one of the biggest SS 14 trends was the fringe. Not just on clothes, but on accessories and handbags too. Long sweeping fringes that flow fluidly as you walk, leaving somewhat of an imaginary trail like the Gucci Nouveau featured previously or short leather fringes that just make a bag so much fun like the Valentino clutch featured below; this summer its all about the fringe. Here are my top picks on fringed clutches.
1.Celine Laser Cut Fringed Pouch - Celine is one of my most favourite brands when it comes to handbags. There is never a time that I pass by a Celine boutique and don't inside to check out what's in store. Normally its various colours of the Trapeze, Mini Shopper and the Phantom that I admire but now its this pretty funky clutch. The black laser cut leather playing peek-a-boo with bright yellow underneath (Phoebe Philo loves colour blocking so no surprises there!) makes a real statement. Also, since its a pretty soft bag, you can sort of fold it and as the black leather stretches, the yellow really stands out. Pair that with the dramatic fringes and you've got yourself quite a unique clutch.
A word of caution, do not pair this clutch with an equally eye popping outfit or you'll end up drawing focus away from the bag. Wear it with a clean, minimalist silhouette and let the bag be the focal point of your outfit. Sadly Celine doesn't retail on e-commerce portals so you will have to wait till you fly out of Delhi or simply check with Kitsch at Defence Colony for availability.
2. Valentino Gryphon Handle Fringed Leather Clutch - Trust Valentino to create the most covetable accessories season after season. For the last few seasons and still is, was the Rockstud, now its their fringed bags. This particular clutch is having a major moment and is sold out on quite a few e-commerce platforms. The gilded gryphon (a mythological creature) serving as a finger handle adds a very mysterious characteristic to the bag don't you think? Also I love how the edges have knotted fringes. Very cool, very raw, very sexy. Click here to purchase.
3. Sara Battaglia Teresa Soft Leather Clutch - Another name to add to your designer dictionary like ASAP is Sara Battaglia, the newest handbag designer on the block. Despite being a newbie, her bags have already been worn by numerous celebrities with one of her biggest fans being her super stylist sister Giovanna Battaglia. The Teresa bag has a very fresh take on the fringe. Instead of fringes on the main silhouette of the bag, they are on the detachable handle which makes it very versatile. The day you don't feel like being dramatic, take off the strap and off you go with your very streamlined and minimalist clutch! I also adore the triangle shaped hardware. Click here to purchase.
