Vivienne Westwood and the Great Crossbody Comeback of 2025

By PAGE Editor
Forget about diamonds. Forget about stilettos. If 2025 has proven anything, it’s that the most important companion for a woman in love with fashion are the designer crossbody bags. Practical and polished, the crossbody bag has made a full return to the fashion spotlight. And who's better to helm this revival than Vivienne Westwood, the most enduring icon of Britain’s rebellious style?
A Westwood crossbody isn’t just a spot to toss your keys and lip balm. It’s a statement—sharp, expressive, unmistakably British. This year, the brand has reimagined the crossbody with a blend of eccentric flair and subtle sophistication, capturing attention in a way only Westwood can.
The Crossbody revival
In 2025 (finally) fashion editors, influencers, and everyday fashion lovers have rediscovered the charm of the crossbody, particularly those with a bold personality. Vivienne Westwood has seized the moment, adding bold patterns, using striking colours, and completing the latest crossbody bags with irreverent twists into familiar shapes.
We love the tartans. We love the floral prints. We love that we can expect the unexpected, as it has always been with Vivienne. The signature orb motif, punk-inspired details, and tongue-in-cheek edge turn these bags into much more than accessories. Vivienne's crossbody bags nod to our individuality, to our desire of rebellion, always with her innovative British style.
Classic style with a modern shift
Westwood’s 2025 crossbody collection bridges, at last, the past and present. Retro shapes and ideas from the '60s and '80s are mixed with modern production of bags.
Function meets attitude
Vivienne's Crossbody Bags aren’t just pretty items of fashion. Her latest designs blend practicality with her signature edge and attention. You’ll find hidden compartments for tech, adjustable straps for day-to-night ease of use, and more than you would imagine.
Finding your perfect match
Selecting a crossbody bag is a personal choice. It has to fit your life, your style, your mood and attitude. Here’s a short list about how to get it right:
Materials that Matter: Go for supple leather if you're after timeless appeal or opt for velvet to add texture. For the sustainably minded, Westwood’s recycled canvas options are a stylish middle ground.
Right-Sized: Choose a small bag for evening elegance or something roomier for everyday use. It’s about balance, not bulk.
Play with Colour: Neutrals are safe, but Westwood’s braver shades—vivid pinks, bold tartans—are more fun. Let your bag reflect your mood.
Dressed for the Occasion: it doesn't matter whether it’s about running errands, going to meetings, or enjoying after-hours drinks, the 2025 Vivienne's collection offers a look to match. Effortless, but considered.
Style That Lasts: Vivienne Westwood doesn’t chase trends. As it has always been, she shapes and anticipates them. Vivienne's bags are designed to be worn now and still loved years on.
More than a bag
Vivienne Westwood’s role in the crossbody comeback isn’t just about fashion—it’s about identity. These bags aren’t just for carrying—they’re for declaring. Owning one says you know your style, you’re not afraid of bold choices, and you’ve got a sense of humour about it all.
So go ahead—strap in, stand out, and let your bag do the talking. With a Westwood crossbody by your side, every outfit tells a better story.
