AIBU to think the Cath Kidson 'trend' is turning the brand into

[tryingtobemarypoppins2]

a chavy trend.....I'm thinking like the Burberry tartan......

Ooh, I hadn't noticed this but I hope you're right - I think it's vile and would be very happy if people would stop cooing over it.

Noooooooooo...

I love Cath Kidston....

But there's too much of it around these days.

And i just checked the spelling on my spec case.....

It is Kidston.

I am that sad.

It is too pricey and over rated.

Not really but its just so mainstream and everywhere and easy to get and always in stock, its a bit naff (ish) but there is worse.

I have to say their crockery never chips

I think the Emma Bridgewater thing is worse

I loathe all the shabby chic shite and don't start me on vintage!

I'm a Kidston addict fan.

I only have the nappy bag, overnight bag and shopper...and never all at once.

Quite fond of ye olde boating print though.

Seeing as I just treated my self to a CK blackberry case you are prob right.

I saw Cath Kidston masking tape in a gift shop on Saturday. Floral, it was, and too narrow to use as anything except gift tape. But it was labelled as masking tape.

I have a green and white spotty purse/a starry spec case/a starry phone case/a pale blue key fob and a starry key ring (both presents from DD).A bag and most of the Tesco shopping bags.

I love CK.

The CK blackberry case was £12....?

I told DP it was £6.99.

Weeelllll... I've always known I've got a strong chavvy streak.
And just the other day I waltzed into a CK shop for the first time: the SALE signs were just too, too seductive.
I've always very much liked the way (some) CK struff looks, but been put off by the fact that it's so obviously CK - much like Orla Keily... (CK:telling that, isn't it? I am talking Kidston, btw, not Calvin...)

Anyway, I was a bit freaked out by my suddenly wanting to buy a whole load of stuff... Sooo - I checked the quality, checked where it was made, realised quality really didn't look that great, and saw that it was made in China.
Result? I walked out without having spent a penny (i.e. I had neither bought anything, nor pissed on trendy merchandise), trooed down the street to cancer research shop, and picked up a lovely little brand new 2nd had linen cardie!

Cor blimey.

Pfaaah!
Just saw the 'masking tape' post.
Wadda bleedin ripporf.

isn't being chavy liking something because it is a brand rather than liking something because you like it

i did notice lots of women carrying aroudn those horrible ck bags in dulwich while i was flat hunting yesterday, luckily i am staying away from the village and actually described it to my friend as beign far too dull and boring cath kidston and boden for me

plus i can not afford to live there

CK just makes me think of cupcakes.

Dulwich.
Dull. Itch.
Yuk.
Bring on the chavs, anything but bloody Dulwich. Please.

east dulwich is great going to see a flat tomorrow, right opposite goose green

but the village, not even sure where it starts and ends is it just suddenly becomes dullsville and everyone dresses the same

Good luck with flat search, FS - didn't mean to be horrible...
Just had vile recollection of flowery wellies, carob bars and general smug pomposity. please forgive...

It was nice for about a week...then it was all crappy keyrings on Amazon.

She should have kept it more exclusive. Plus her kids clothes are TERRIBLE quality.

I also use her honeysuckle moisturiser for my legs and her writing paper (not for my legs).

i know exactly what you mean. there are a few too many in east dulwich but they are mainly round the village and if they do not live there will probably hang about there trying to fit in. east side is still keeping it real (down to much of it actually being peckham)

i didn't even know she did kids clothes i just thought she did table clothes cakey things, bags and wellies

I have some CK mugs and I love them. Was a bit when dp's 16 yr old sister redecorated her room in CK wallpaper last week... Does look lovely thougn.

I miss london. Love love love east dulwich
