BOHO FRINGE BAGS | PROJECT COLLECTION | 206
For our Boho Fringe Bags, we decided
to turn our eyes to the Southwest
decorative style. The art in each design
of this collection is reminiscent of
Southwestern patterns, with thick satin
stitches of geometric line-work serving
as the bulk of the pattern, sometimes
accented by a delicate floral touch.
With designs as striking as this, it just
made sense for us to select a modern
Southwest color palette for our bags.
We chose about six colors, using teal,
gold, and cream as our bright eyecatching
colors. Then we supplemented
those colors by adding in a burnt sienna
and terracotta orange, along with a
muted tan to round out the designs.
Another staple of the Southwestern
style is its use of thick, woven fabrics. To
keep up with the coordination, we used
a denim fabric that would serve as the
perfect foundation for the decorative
stitching, and gave the embroidery
a beautiful deep blue field as its
backdrop. For your bags, you can use
a denim fabric just like we did, or you
could even utilize various canvas fabrics
for the same effect!
