ARTISAN TESTIMONIALS
“I am a mother of seven and have 4 other orphan children whom I take care of. I decided to join my husband in performing this order so as to supplement family income. I worked mostly in the furnace. I was very happy to work on Vivienne Westwood order as it gave my family the money we need to settle legal fees for our son who is in his final year of secondary school and was involved in a serious indiscipline case. I pray that Vivienne Westwood continues to send us orders since all that we own now was largely procured through Vivienne Westwood orders.”

“I am the screen printing supervisor at Artisans Fashion. The Vivienne Westwood SS-17 helped me to develop in terms of skills and other needs. I appeal for more work so that the improvement I have hitherto experienced continues in my life.”
