Vivienne Westwood x heritage

Vivienne Westwood has collaborated with five British heritage brands, for a capsule collection called Vivienne Westwood(heart). The collection is a celebration of British quality and craftmanship. There has been a lot of focus on British brands, and I think it's a great idea to purchase quality items made in Britain, especially as we are still in recession, I definitely agree with Westwood's quality over quantity values.

The five chosen brands are luggage label Globe Trotter,Outerwear specialist Gloverall, cashmere and knitwear label Johnstons of Elgin, hat designers Lock&Co, and luxury sock brand Pantherella.  The brands are all between 75 and 346 years old and fit into her quality over quantity ethos. Vivienne Westwood also recently teamed up with British brand The Cambridge Satchel Company to create a collection of limited edition satchels which look amazing, so I can't wait to see the outcome of the British heritage collaboration!

The items will be available from the Conduit Street and King's Road stores in London and at viviennewestwood.com
