Fringe, fringe, fringe galore! I don’t usually have a problem with fringe, but I can’t decide if this bag has too much of it. Gucci is a brand I love. I have a pair of Gucci sunglasses I wear all the time and I am definitely on the hunt for a Gucci handbag I can tote around all the time as well. But, I don’t think this bag is it. The Gucci Large Babouska Hobo looks unique and perfect for the fall season. I think the stud accents and brass hardware compliment the fringe extremely well. In fact, as I sit here typing, the bag is starting to grow on me more and more. There is a double strap option (one detachable shoulder strap) which provides a nice option. If you’ve read any of my other posts, you know I am a self-proclaimed clutz. Nothing crazy, but I have been know to trip, drop my bag, and have the entire contents spilled out on the sidewalk. So, obviously, I love not only the snap and push-lcok closuer but also the inside zip and cell phone pocket. I am also drawn to how soft the leather looks. Who doesn’t love soft leather? But, I am still stuck on the fringe. What do you think – yay or nay? It can be bought through Saks for $2,495. (note: if you are interested in the bag pictured above, select the bag in “Mustard”)

I have a no fringe policy, but I don’t mind it on other people and this is a very nice bag.
I am not a huge fan of fringe either, but it is coming back full force for fall. It will be on countless bags!
I feel like straping on a fur tail and braiding my hair when I look at this bag. I definitely think that this is a strong look! On the right lady this would be FAB!!!
I agree with the no fringo policy but is a nice looking bag. Not for me, but could definitely look cute on someone else!
ooopps *fringe*
I love fringe! Takes me back to my youth in the 70’s…this is a little high priced for something that will probably only be hot for one season. I will be wearing a little fringe this fall, tho!
Hmmm… It’s not growing on me, no matter how much I look at it. Too much going on.
I love this bag, have since I saw it! As with all things, would like to see it IRL before dropping that kind of $$$
Too western-cowboyish for me. I like Gucci and few of their bags, but this one doesn’t cut it for me. As for fringes in general, I don’t mind them. As long as there’s only a little bit. But that’s too much for me.
I don’t like this bag because it looks like it has a beard…
or mustache..
I’m not a fan of fringe. This bag has too much going on- fringe and studs. The price is pretty high too.
Bad, bad bag. It looks like it has ponytails.
i have not liked a thing gucci has made since tom ford left, this bag included.
a.. the bag, for some reason, resembles a shih-tzu for me….
I can imagine Jessica Simpson wearing this. Is that good or bad? Very cowgirl-ish and suits her new image as a crossover country singer……
I LOVE it!! And I’m going to buy it. It is darling.
I’m open to fringe, especially on black rocker-chick bags with studs, but this bag looks like a walrus!
…or like Asterix!
I like it
Frida did fringe very well for the fall collection. must see it altogether to appreciate!
The first time i saw that bag i was so confused. now i’ve seen it a couple of times i know i was just failling in love…. And i want it!! And i would buy it except for the fact that in a few years it will probably look ridiculous. But I could think of some amazing outfits that would go with that bag. its a fun mix on chic, and looks super comfy to wear. can’t wait to see it irl
Somehow I do not associate fringe with ‘classy’ which is what Gucci’s image is to me. So this is a no buy. My favorite design of theirs was the Medium Queen top handle bag
That fringe bag reminds me of Harley Davidson accessories. Match on women riders.
I think this bag is fabulous! I dont really think what’s in and out year to year matters as long as the woman carrying the item is sassy enough to rock it with style and grace. I get compliments year after year on timeless designer pieces that I’ve purchased through the years. I dont particularly like wearing an item in the season that its “hot”. Who wants to see themselves all over town? Definitely not me! I love this bag and I will be rocking it for years to to come!
i bought this bag yesterday and absolutely love it. i have been searching for a cool handbag since the spring but i haven’t been able to get excited about much and found it difficult to drop $2K on the same run of the mill bags. this bag absolutely rocks. it is expensive but relative to handbags today, this one could easily sell for $4K. i love that it can be carried as a messenger bag and also a hobo. i bought it in black and it looks very hip with all black clothing. it is very well made and is a special bag.
This has to be one of my favorite looks that Gucci has come out with. The color, style and size are just perfect. Authentic Gucci Handbags
I just got it yesterday but the black oneeeee. HOTNESS i just need to get the loubtian’s boots with fringes
It’s a really nice handbag but is too much that it doesn’t look chic.
well..i got it its nice but the velvet things get dusty they need to be cleaned
