VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Charm Frame embellished embroidered velvet shoulder bag

Vivienne Westwood began incorporating charms into her designs long before the 'Charm Frame' bag arrived in 2025, drawn to a tradition that dates back to Queen Victoria, who wore charm bracelets regularly and helped popularise them as good-fortune tokens among 19th-century nobility. This version reworks the design in velvet with runner stitches arranged in a tartan-like pattern, keeping the same delicate chain strung across the front and showcasing house symbols like the 'Teddy Bear', introduced for the 'Britain Must Go Pagan' SS88 collection. The kiss-lock top reveals an interior built for small essentials.
