Ke$ha with a Fabric, Leather and Suede Fringe Messenger Bag

I tried ID’ing this fringe messenger bag but you can never be sure with someone like Ke$ha who has an affinity for um, used clothing and the trashy chic style. She even openly declares her love for dumpster diving.

“My favorite stuff that I’ve ever found has been from trash cans,” Ke$ha says to WWD, “and I bought this incredible vest off a homeless guy recently.”

I don’t know about going through clothes in donation boxes that are meant for people who really need them, but I respect Ke$ha’s art and unique sense of style enough for me to actually type her name with the dollar sign.

This is Ke$ha’s fringe handbag that I’m trying to put a name on:

August 1, 2010 – Ke$ha makes her way through LaGuardia airport in New York City with her bodyguard

June 21, 2010 – Ke$ha hits a car rental place after attending a Gulf Telethon at “Larry King Live” studios

Here’s a closer look:

Just based on these pictures, it seems that this bag is a mix of some type of glittery fabric, leather and suede. The strap has to be fabric in order to Ke$ha to tie a knot in it like that, the cracked body appears to be leather, and the swingy fringes are clearly suede.

I have yet to find out who makes this bag but if this is one of those things that Ke$ha got from a trash can, then well, great find Ke$ha.

Here are 3 fringe handbags that are similar to Ke$ha’s that are thankfully a lot easier – and cleaner – to find:
