Matthew Williamson Fringe Tote bag, �90, Debenhams

Fringing was in fashion at the end of the summer and judging by the new AW10 collections in the shops it's a trend that is continuing through the autumn.

Tassles and fringing are mainly being seen on jackets, bags and shoes, and it's a look that needs to be understated if it is to work - so only wear one item with fringing!

Life Matters loves this leather tote from designer Matthew Williamson. The bag is ideal for work and leisure and will go with practically anything in your wardrobe.
