The British Fashion Council (BFC) has announced that British fashion designer and activist Dame Vivienne Westwood has designed this season’s London Fashion Week Festival (LFWF) tote bag. Made from 100% organic cotton, the bag was inspired by this season’s Vivienne Westwood AW17/18 show entitled ‘Ecotricity’. The map graphic is the designer's representation of NASA's projection of the effect of climate change on the world should the earth’s temperature rise by four degrees or more.

The limited edition totes will be available for purchase at London Fashion Week Festival for £20 each, of which 50% of the profit will be donated to Dame Vivienne’s choice of charity, Fuel Poverty Action, which works with pensioners’ groups, tenants’ associations and others who provide practical aid in the form of blankets, draft-proofing, as well as helping people to get their debts written off.
