Footnotes
Vivienne Westwood and The Rug Company joined forces in 2005. The iconic 'VW Flag' motif was first provocatively modelled as a bridal stole in the Autumn/Winter 02/03 'Anglophilia' collection. The raggedy worn-out and possibly blood-soaked original flag is precisely reproduced in very fine hand-woven wool tapestry.
Provenance
with The Rug Company, where purchased by the present owner.
