Vivienne Westwood wants us to live a good life. So sweet of her. Whatever Viv says, goes. She is our master. Apparently our Yogi master now, as Vivienne Westwood has created a sustainable yoga mat. The mats, made from plant-based ingredients (natural rubber and jute) are personalised by Vivienne, “Mirror the World” hand written amongst love heart red doves. “The most important philosophical question ever asked is “what is a good life?” she says. “A good life is one which Mirrors the world. That means that you understand the world through art and culture. You understand the genius of the human race and you understand yourself in relation to it. You’re like a little tiny shard of mirror glass that’s exactly a copy of the whole world. You’re beautiful because you understand the beauty of the world and want to do your because of it.” If this mindset is the result of using a Vivienne Westwood yoga mat to switch off from the world and zen out, we are suddenly prime yogis. With the mat comes a carry bag, made in Kenya, in a print worn by the Maasai tribe Shuka. This mini collab comes through Artisan Fashion who currently support thousands of African communities, providing them work instead of relying on aid dependency. It’s all too good to be true. Who knew a yoga mat would bring us so much joy. Our bodies are ready. Catch us with our green juice in hand and ready to work out, VW style.
