Vivienne Westwood is not a designer to be remotely influenced by current trends, but this frame-topped clutch is certainly flying the flag for one or two key trends for autumn/winter 2011! Not only does it have the vintagey frame-top structure going on, it's got a slimline strap and faux-snakeskin finish leather, too.
The mustard-colour tone is another current style nod we could mention, but this bag is first and foremost a Dame Viv classic. We love the super shiny gold toned metal used to make the frame and orb, and can imagine this being the most perfectly prim-and-proper finishing touch to a dressed up outfit.
