What words come to mind when you think of Vivienne Westwood clothing? Innovative, cutting edge, punk, romantic, tough, corset, tartan…these are just some that are associated with the iconic British designer who is credited with putting her own touch on new wave and punk style to give them mass appeal. Since storming onto the scene in 1971, when her designs first went on sale in the King’s Road store of her partner Malcom McLaren (he is the recently deceased manager of the Sex Pistols), Westwood has pushed the envelope and made a name for herself producing unique and perfectly tailored pieces. This aesthetic, as well as her trademark orb crest, has also made its way into a line of Vivienne Westwood bags.

Vivienne Westwood has survived four decades in the thankless fashion business mainly because the designer is a little bit rebellious, a tiny bit eccentric and a lot talented. This two-time British designer of the year was also made a Dame by the Queen in 2006 and has had her work displayed in the venerable Victoria and Albert Museum. It’s ironic that a designer who made her name on shock and attitude has now been so thoroughly embraced by the establishment, who are now completely enamored with Westwood’s platforms, corsets, orbs and tartans.

The designer’s tartans can be seen throughout the line of Vivienne Westwood bags. The tartans come in many different colours that compliment a wide variety of tastes and outfits. A clear reference to Westwood’s Anglomania, the fabric, which is also used in the designer’s clothing and Vivienne Westwood accessories like wallets, is a perfect reflection of the designer’s sensibilities.

Westwood’s line of bags and related accessories also includes leather items, some embossed with the designer’s name and carrying her orb symbol, as well as patent leather in various bright hues as vibrant as Westwood herself. The bags also come in several different styles from totes and wallets to pouches and crossbody clutch bags.

Vivienne Westwood bags also offer painted and printed versions that are a perfect mix of the designer’s past and present. The graffiti-style print harkens back to Westwood’s punk roots while the traditonal styles, like the classic doctor’s bag shape, mean that these bags will surely stand the test of time. Westwood bags are the perfect finishing touch to a chic outfit (how about pairing one with skinny jeans and great boots?) and are quite a fashion statement in and of themselves.

A Vivienne Westwood bag or wallet is the perfect way to bring a piece of the designer’s cutting edge, iconic and decidedly British style to any outfit. Whether it be a bit of tartan, a golden orb or a painted doctor’s bag, Westwood’s line offers something for every woman and every outfit.
