Vivienne Westwood’s new collection of City Totes, handmade in Kenya in collaboration with Artisan Fashion, cleverly taps into fashion’s current fixation with locality and provenance. Each canvas tote riffs on iconic cities housing Westwood’s boutiques—London, Paris, Tokyo, New York—delivering exclusivity laced with subtle global cool. Screen-printed by hand using Recycrom pigments derived from discarded textiles and manufacturing offcuts, the bags reinvent waste with nuanced style, blending ethical practice with quiet subversion.
