A match made in heaven!
Just this week we were given a lecture on the importance of collaborations within the fashion industry, and to follow up on this lecture I thought it would be a great idea to write a short post about a excellent collaboration I came across a couple of weeks ago.
This is the second time that the iconic Brit brands Vivienne Westwood and the Cambridge Satchel Company have collaborated together for this SS16 collection.
The collection of satchels are available in four different colour ways: navy blue with a yellow squiggle, coral pink with a grey squiggle, jet green with a black squiggle and oxblood with a red squiggle. The jet green is an exclusive for this collaboration, which is inspired by Westwood's A/W15 collection, and the squiggle pattern is one of Westwood's most iconic prints (which has been produced on her pirate boots for over 30 years!).
The reason that I feel that this particular collaboration works so well is due to the fact that both brands are so similar. Both are traditional, heritage brands with strong British roots which is why the Westwood's designs fit hand in hand with the Cambridge Satchel Company's classic satchel signature shape.
This partnership also allows admirers of Westwood to buy her designs at a more affordable price, the satchels ranging between £115.00 - £245.00.
My personal favourite, the 'JET GREEN/BLACK SQUIGGLE 14" SATCHEL'.
