I am very excited about the Matthew Williamson Spring/Summer 2010 handbags. There are certainly glimpses of his signature trippy prints and color combinations, but in a muted way. This collection offers splashes of fluorescent colors in bags that are more wearable. My favorite from this collection is the black patent shoulder bag with gold chain strap (above). It offers a logo nameplate, something new to his designs, and I think necessary for any high end designer handbag. It shouldn't be overly obvious, but there should be a name or logo somewhere on the outside of the bag. Like any luxury good, branding is part of the appeal.
