About this quote

A manifesto for mindful consumption, this line urges us to choose quality over quantity. Westwood encourages deliberate decisions, investing in well-made items, and caring for what we already own. It champions personal style and sustainability over throwaway culture, asking us to value craftsmanship and reduce unnecessary waste in our daily lives.

Westwood championed this motto throughout her later career, using it in interviews and catwalk campaigns from the late 2000s onwards to promote sustainable fashion and environmental activism.

People often hang this in a dressing room or hallway as a daily reminder to shop thoughtfully.
