Always a cash cow category for design houses, the spring 2010 collections presented handbags in a variety of shapes, sizes, and skins. One of the most ubiquitous trends of the season—tassels and fringe—had major moments at Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Derek Lam, and Gucci. Other trends to note when considering purchases for next season—clear plastic and lucite (at Prada and Fendi, respectively), exotic stingray (Givenchy), crochet and woven details (Carolina Herrera, Fendi, and Bottega Veneta), and vivid contrasting colors (Versace and Proenza Schouler). Check out our selection of the top 100 handbags from New York, London, Milan, and Paris in the gallery below.
