The Best Fringe Bags to Shimmy Into Spring

If you didn’t get the memo, this Western accessory trend is back

By

Fringe bags are the next frontier. Omnipresent both on the runways for Spring/Summer 2025—where they swished and sashayed down catwalks at Chloé, Bottega Veneta, and Alexander McQueen—and on the streets in all fashion capitals, fringe and tassel-edged bags in suede, leather, and even a few dripping in cascading rhinestones are quickly topping wishlists everywhere.


The resurgence of fringe comes hot on the heels of the return of bohemian codes, 1970s silhouettes, and maximalism. But that’s not to say the best fringe bags of the moment would only work as a nod to nostalgia or at a music festival. Designers like Jonathan Anderson, Alessandro Michele, and Isabel Marant (a known fan of fringe) are ensuring that the next wave of these textured and tactile bags is elevated, polished, and luxurious. Contemporary labels like ba&sh, Staud, Mint Velvet, and Maje are also ensuring that there’s a myriad of options across colors and shapes so everyone can get in on the fun too.

Read on for a complete guide to the best fringe bags available to snap up now before everyone else gets to them first.
