Vivienne Westwood Handbag Guide
Vivienne Westwood is one of the most influential British fashion designers in history. From her origins in 1970s punk to her position as a global luxury brand, Westwood's work has always challenged convention while maintaining exceptional craftsmanship. Her handbag collections embody this philosophy: bold, distinctive designs made with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail.
At OD's Designer Clothing, we are proud to be an authorised Vivienne Westwood stockist. Our curated collection spans the brand's most iconic silhouettes, from everyday crossbody bags to statement holdalls and clutches.
The Vivienne Westwood Heritage
Dame Vivienne Westwood founded her fashion empire in London in the early 1970s alongside Malcolm McLaren. What began as a punk revolution on the King's Road evolved into one of the most respected luxury fashion houses in the world. The brand's signature Orb logo, combining a royal orb with Saturn's rings, symbolises the fusion of tradition and the future that runs through every collection.
Westwood's influence on fashion is immeasurable. She pioneered the punk aesthetic, championed environmental causes long before sustainability became a fashion industry buzzword, and consistently produced collections that challenged the status quo while maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
