Vintage Vivienne Westwood Zip Around Wallet c. Late 2000s Black

South London, late 2000s: shopfronts flicker past rain-streaked glass, a flash of gold hardware at the wrist catching the city’s low winter light. The surface is defined by black textured leather, stitched cleanly around a structured rectangular silhouette. A single gold-tone orb plaque at the zip pull signals Vivienne Westwood—small, precise, unmistakable.

The wraparound zipper opens to a grey fabric lining, printed throughout with the house's orb motif. Inside: one zipped coin pocket, a line of card slots, and open compartments for notes. The wrist strap attaches with a gold-tone rivet, offering a secure handheld option; the zip hardware remains bright, the leather showing only the faintest traces of use.

This piece belongs to the era when Westwood’s accessories leaned into subtle cues—the orb logo anchoring otherwise minimal forms, the all-over lining print quietly referencing the label’s iconography. The combination of gold hardware and orb details, together with the zip-around construction, place this wallet squarely in Vivienne Westwood’s late 2000s–2010s output.
