I just bought a vintage white lace shawl duster with heavy fringe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468371 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 21:47:26 +0000 Vicki 1468371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new bag just as much as your "organized chaos" mindset, which any self-respecting RATE UWP would love and appreciate. </p> <p>I have a fringed suede leather RL bag, with very long fringe, and I've never noticed it getting tangled up, so I have no explanation. </p> <p>Love the purse and just think, if you'd bought the blue one, you could sing: "Tangled Up in Blue." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468364 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 21:36:28 +0000 deb 1468364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is why I do not (can not) do fringe. It drives me battier than I already am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468277 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 18:51:26 +0000 catgirl 1468277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think suede is different because both sides are the same texture, right?&nbsp; Here the leather is smooth on one side and raw on the other.&nbsp; You can see it in the stock photos as well!</p> <p>I woke up laughing at myself for posting this question!&nbsp; In the light of day the bag is so beautiful and I'll consider it my spring wild card.&nbsp; For under $100, it's my birthday present to myself this week!&nbsp; Thanks all for the reality check.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468187 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 15:08:55 +0000 Angie 1468187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Viva said.

I think this is one instance when your preference for organized chaos is worth veering towards a little extra chaos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468131 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 12:10:27 +0000 viva 1468131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think of it as energetic fringe. It's gorgeous. Shake it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468120 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 11:37:13 +0000 Anonymous 1468120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag is GORGEOUS. &nbsp;I absolutely love it for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468117 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 11:34:28 +0000 harmonica 1468117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool bag! (coming from one that has a difficult time with fringes ever since my beloved Grandma had me try on her suede fringe jacket. I guess it would be an "it" piece today. She really had great style!)</p> <p>"I like my chaos organized!" - lol, I totally agree. On the other side, I think you just have to be at ease with a touch of unorganized chaos when it comes to this bag. Very interesting what Style Fran says.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468115 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 11:20:18 +0000 Anonymous 1468115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it would be interesting to know. Of course it may just be a foible of certain leathers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468112 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 11:11:16 +0000 Style Fan 1468112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane G when I get home I will examine my vintage fringe jacket and my newer fringe jacket.&nbsp; I have always noticed the vintage one had thicker fringe and the suede was a different quality.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468109 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 11:03:01 +0000 Anonymous 1468109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, funny about the fringe on the vintage pieces that Style Fan mentions not doing the twist thing. Perhaps the leather nowadays is thinner? I suspect you may have to make peace with the effect.<br /> I still think it looks good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468102 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 10:17:43 +0000 Style Fan 1468102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great bag!&nbsp; I also love fringe and have 2 fringe jackets and a few bags with fringe (dating from the 60s and 70s).&nbsp; I have noticed the issue you are referring to with newer fringe.&nbsp; I look at it as part of the style.&nbsp; FWIW my fringe jacket from late 60s or early 70s does not do this.&nbsp; The fringe hangs straight.&nbsp; Draw your own conclusions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468091 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 08:19:11 +0000 Deborah 1468091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the bag and I think yes this is something that you may have to just live with. &nbsp;I can actually imagine the swishes of the neutral colour on the back of the fringe adding further interest and contributing to the RATE element. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-question-about-fringe#post-1468086 Sat, 04 Apr 2015 08:05:10 +0000 catgirl 1468086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love leather fringe, and I just received a lovely Rebecca Minkoff bag I found on sale at Nordstrom (this one but in ultraviolet):</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-minkoff-fringe-mini-mac-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/rebecca-.....-mac-black</a></p> <p>However, all the fringe bags I've seen have this issue where the fringe twists around and doesn't hang straight. For a RATE UWP this shouldn't be a problem but something about it bothers me. I like my chaos organized! </p> <p>Is this the charming fringe equivalent of making peace with the crease? Note the below pic is off in color - the hardware is really silver and the bag is a deep blue violet. </p>
