Vivienne Westwood has teamed up with hold-all specialists Eastpak for a collaboration that brings an otherworldly touch to the iconic brand’s classic globe.
</br>
It likely never crossed anyone’s minds until now but Vivienne Westwood’s and Eastpak’s logos share a slight resemblance with their respective globular centrepieces surrounded by some sort of ‘ring’.
</br>
Although the meaning behind the branding isn’t connected whatsoever, the aesthetic similarities have lent themselves to the collaboration we have before us now, playing into a graphic from Vivienne Westwood’s Spring/ Summer 2019 collection, when Andreas Kronthaler gave the iconic motif a planetary makeover that appears in this capsule in an all-over fashion.
A standard roundup of backpacks, duffles and side bags act as black-based canvases for the print and have been constructed from eco-friendly textiles in support of the Cool Earth initiative - a charitable organisation supported by the late Dame Vivienne Westwood, who over the years, donated a total of $1.5 million USD in an effort to combat deforestation.

The Vivienne Westwood x Eastpak capsule will release September 9th on Eastpak.com.
