Vivienne Westwood and Eastpak work in collaboration to launch new accessories that celebrate the signature brand language of the late designer. The capsule highlights custom Planet prints that were first created as a part of the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood back in 2019 for the Spring/Summer season.
The graphic is originally inspired by the Saturn return, which is also a notable period in horoscopic astrology. It is seen across silhouettes such as backpacks, suitcases, satchels, tote bags, crossbody bags, and duffels. The highlighting product of the range is the Passed backpacks and the Jessice, defined by their functionality and recycled polyester built. The tote bag also stands out due to its durable construction and strong carrying handles.
