"What I do, making bags, can make a difference. This project gives people control over their lives - charity doesn't give control, it does the opposite, it makes them dependant," she says. "These people have more control over their lives and can therefore choose not to exploit the environment because they have an alternative way of making money."

‎"People have never looked so ugly ... We are so conformist, nobody is thinking. I'm a fashion designer and people think 'what do I know?' but I'm talking about all this disposable crap. So I'm saying buy less, choose well, make it last." - Vivienne Westwood
