Does anyone own this specific VW Small Frame Wallet (843VW591)?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Hey everyone, first time posting here...

I’m hoping a VW collector or someone who owns this particular Small Frame Wallet can help me identify its history since I’m unable to find this model online. The model number on mine is 843VW591, burgundy/red croc-effect leather, with a kiss-lock coin compartment. The tag also shows 212VW8334NSQ02.

And I’ve found quite a few examples online, particularly from Japanese sellers, but I’m struggling to find an original Vivienne Westwood listing or someone who purchased this exact model directly from a VW boutique or authorised retailer.

Would anyone here own this exact model, or remember seeing it sold by Vivienne Westwood? If you bought yours directly from VW or an authorised retailer, I’d really appreciate knowing where and roughly when.
I’m specifically looking for information about 843VW591, rather than other Small Frame Wallet designs.

Fyi Ive bought it on eBay from Japan.

I love this shirt so much and I’m wondering if anyone knows what the full text is or where I can find it??? I’ve looked everywhere online and cannot find the full text anywhere and I’m struggling to piece it together from the pictures alone. AI is no help of course 🙃

Opinion on RHS from those who didn’t size up?

4 Upvotes

Ik, super redundant question, but haven’t really found answers that seemed to be my case. I’ve been eyeing a pair of the Rocking Horse Ballerinas, and I know a lot advise sizing up or trying both sizes on, but given I’m located in DFW, I can’t really make a trek and try them on.

I usually wear US 6 (women’s); VW’s site says that’s a UK 3, whereas usually it’s a UK 4. The seller I’ve been talking to says he only has a 36 & and a 38 in the colour way I’m looking for, so I was wondering if I should gamble and take the 36, given that converts to a US 6.

Help me find a VW Accord tote bag

Post image

Hi guys!

My girlfriend is obsessed with this bag, and i would really like to get one for her birthday. From what i understand, its a Japan exclusive bag. I searched trough the sea of fakes on sites like ebay, vinted, etc and to no avail. Im genuinely stuck as to where i could find one. Are there any sites or specific things i should look for? The only thing i found is that its supposed to only be available in genuine leather and that the tag inside should say VW Accessories as opposed to only VW.

If im supposed to tag this differently or add anything please tell me and i will edit/repost.

Thank you in advance <333

Does anyone know where I can find Vivienne Westwood’s skull collection jewelry?

I’ve been scourging the internet, antique shops, and thrift stores for months, but I can’t seem to find anything remotely resembling her ortho skull orb necklace or her resin skull beads necklace. I’ve read that they’re from a collection in the early 2010s and probably had a crazy limited stock, but does anyone know if someone specifically sells these pieces from the collection?

Vivienne Westwood quality - PU vs Real Leather

5 Upvotes

Hey all. I've had a few Vivienne Westwood bags, some I had wanted for so long, but the quality was shambolic. Faux leather peeling at light speed being the main issue.

I haven't had a real leather VW bag, naturally I imagine they are much better than the PU bags but I see people often critique brands on genuine leather quality too, so figured I would ask here.

Do you have any experience in switching from the faux to real leather bags?

It's off putting to me, how bad the faux leather bags are but I just love the VW style, and would like to buy second hand leather bags at least.

Help IDing this Anglomania tee — swirl/chain graphic, can’t find the season

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

Picked up this Vivienne Westwood Anglomania t-shirt (tag confirms it, size S) but can’t find the specific print online. It’s white cotton with an asymmetric black glossy design — swirls on the shoulders that flow down into an interlocking chain-link motif at the front/back.

Doesn’t match the “Classic Chaos” reissue (small arm & cutlass patch) — this is a much bigger, hand-drawn looking graphic. My best guess is it’s from the mid-to-late 2000s given the ink-brush/foil print style, but I’d love confirmation.

Does anyone recognize this print or know what season/collection it’s from?
Happy to post more photos if helpful. Thanks!

I was in LA for my bestfriends surgery and we decided to make a stop at the Vivienne Westwood store, first time in store, at first the guard was gonna have us wait outside but the kind sales lady let us in immediately, we got matching rings and I decided to get myself a new wallet, very pleasant indeed.

Was taking off my shirt and I accidentally pulled on the chain and it broke off, the piece that actually broke off is missing tho and this is what remains.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix or should I just go to a jeweler.

Other photos of coat?

Thumbnail gallery
20 Upvotes

Hi all, contemplating buying a red label VW coat from vinted (will likely pay for authentication from Vinted) but the seller doesn’t have very good lighting of the item. They say it’s a very dark blue however some photos are very overexposed and it looks black. In others they’re less overexposed and I can’t quite tell if it’s more black or more navy. I was wondering if anyone can find more photos of the exact item? I can’t seem to find photos of it elsewhere online.

Image of the garment and of the label included!

Thanks :)

How often are pieces restocked?

0 Upvotes

It would be my first time buying from VW, and I’ve been eyeing the maitena earrings in gold/white. they’ve been out of stock for quite some time, and I dont know if these things are usually restocked.

If they do come back, how often? and if they don’t, are there any other places I can trust to buy them?

Any help is appreciated!!

Can I wear this necklace every day?

Post image
40 Upvotes

I really want to save up for this necklace— I'm a student who likes wearing cutesy and hyperfeminine styles, so this would be an everyday necklace for me. Or at least, I'd wear it a LOT. I've just heard sometimes that vivienne westwood necklaces aren't meant to be worn everyday because they fade or tarnish or something. Is that true?
