Is it still ok to like Cath Kidston?

[Laska42]

I just bought this for my mum at Christmas
and then this kinda fell into my internet shopping bag also.......its ordered and I do like it .. but what do we think?

If YOU like it what does it matter what others like? Do you really need to ask other people if it's ok for you to like something?

It's a pretty bag. Not my cup of tea, but DD1 has one similar. If you like it, buy it.

it was never OK in my book .. but it's not my book it's yours

Well that's just it ,I dont really want telling what i should like
or not , but just interested on what others think .. but I think I like it.. ,but then another part of me thinks it might be naff,,.. I'm just so full of contradictions

Oh well ill know when it arrives..

I love the nighties she does for little girls.
Umm, I think that's about it though.

it'll be naff

for me, obvs.

I find her stuff naff and unstylish and the shops like theme parks. But as others have said that's just my opinion. No need for anyone else to share it.

I like it
Don't conform- like what you like. Diversity is the richness of life!

I think it's cute and ditsy like all ck stuff. If I wear anything cute I look like an arse ... even dots aren't classic enough for me - patterns are generally out too. Depends what suits you.

I like it but I think if it was mine I'd take the Cath Kidson label off it.
Then no one would know I was naff.

PS presumably you know your mum does like CK. If not, I wouldn't assume her stuff appeals to everyone over 50 or 60 or whatever. Taste is individual at any age.

exactly! if you like it, you like it! the ultimate in style is confidence
(disclaimer, I love a dressing gown and thermal socks more than Gucci)

I've never been a fan... I'm too much of a goth, but shabby chic is still a thing, so I'd say yes!

Ninah well ill see.. I might just embrace naff...(im getting to the purple dress and red hat stage of life anyway ) But its difficult to say right now as I had a couple of s before I began the Christmas shopping on line! So perhaps it will all go back !

Also I went to John Lewis today in an attempt to start christmas shopping , but was so boggled by all the stuff that I came away with nowt .. so I may be over compensating ..

Laska I think I love you, let's go shopping!

Shabby chic it ain't IMO. But you'll be able to make up your own mind when they come.

ooh and thanks everyone else.. Ive not really thought of CK as a brand to buy or not really , just thought my mum would like something a bit like it , But i think my she will definitely like the purse (she is 86!!)

But if I do keep the bag, it'll be ok as I live far from civilisation right out in the sticks so I might even be thought 'quite trendy' here!! (or Ironic) We have a lot of faux CK from local market and quite a few of the women in the office have bags from there

Yer On Ninah do you think ill be a good shopping companion because I drink beforehand or that I visit JL and fail to purchase?

I think they're nice.

I pay no attention to these threads that suggest a whole brand is naff or fashionable to be seen with. How dull the world would be if we all liked the same thing.
I have the navy birds bag you've linked to for yourself. Nice quality, good size and ideal for carrying across body when out with DC.
I assure you I haven't been laughed at in the street!

I've never liked it but wouldn't say no one else should.

I love cath kidson, just bought some gorgeous wallpaper.

I have very girly taste when it comes to my home & understand that people think its very 'old fashioned' looking but I love that. I have a large collection of vintage furniture & it goes perfectly.

Its all a matter of taste, I detest 'modern' it looks naff to me-so everyone each to their own

Ew. Never was

the drink would swing it for me
no, more that you sound fun and I could do with a purple dress

I like her stuff. It can be a cliche but if you just have the odd thing.....I have a couple of bags which I use for work and they are really hard wearing.
