Jessica Alba Steps Out with Luxurious Fringe Bag

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Looking at this photo of Jessica Alba, if one didn’t know it, one wouldn’t be able to guess that she gave birth just last month:

Jessica Alba looked smashing as she headed to a meeting over the weekend. The actress was in a black strapless maxi dress, platform sandals, and had on stylish accessories- a fringe handbag, aviator sunglasses, and oversized earrings.

Jessica Alba is definitely right on trend with her suede fringe bag. The bag has a bohemian vibe, but will easily go with a more luxe get-up because of the rich suede that it is made of. The fringe is also limited to two stripes in the front, so the bag is still elegant and not over-the-top.

You can get the same bag from Bloomingdale’s:

Longchamp Imperial Apache Hobo

The hobo bag has a single adjustable strap and retails for $662.
