THIS IS NOT CHARITY, THIS IS WORK

A new collection of Vivienne Westwood bags are now available online. Handmade in Nairobi, Kenya, the new collection has been produced in collaboration with The Ethical Fashion Programme. Using recycled materials from roadside advertisement banners and safari tents, each of the three designs have been hand crafted by marginalised communities of women such as single mothers, widows, HIV/AIDS victims and those living in extreme poverty.

I found this blog featuring details of Westwood's trip to Kenya- read more about this 'ethical' collection here http://www.activeresistance.co.uk/ar/?p=923
