No.

CrockedPot · 25/02/2014 17:44

No. Used to but it (and copies of it) are everywhere now.

impty · 25/02/2014 17:44

No

gilliangoof · 25/02/2014 17:46

Yes, I don't see why anyone would stop liking something because other people like it.

Allthingsprettyreturns · 25/02/2014 17:47

Yes on small accessories

MoreSkyThanWeNeed · 25/02/2014 17:48

Yes, certain things.

Madamecastafiore · 25/02/2014 17:49

No, twee teenage crap.

BoiledPiss · 25/02/2014 17:49

I can't decide if i do or not, I really like some of the prints, the bird ones especially but every so often i think... TWEE!

I have just been looking on the website and i am still totally undecided!

No.

Wuxiapian · 25/02/2014 17:50

Some things, yes.

ISingSoprano · 25/02/2014 17:50

Some but not all of it by a long stretch.

SuperWifeANDMum · 25/02/2014 17:51

NO! Its very telling when the designer hates her own products.

KatieScarlett2833 · 25/02/2014 17:51

No, I don't like prints of any sort.

OnTheBottomWithAWomansWeekly · 25/02/2014 17:52

No. Any of the fabric I've seen "in the flesh" is poorly printed, and overpriced for what it is (IKEA fabric is better quality). I have an oilcloth bag - handles are wrong length (won't fit over shoulder, but bag hits off floor when walking) - so poorly designed.

I do like the look of stuff at a distance, and my mum got one of her sewing books with a free bag pattern which was nice (but the book was 25 and you can get all the stuff in it on Pinterest for nothing!)

OnTheBottomWithAWomansWeekly · 25/02/2014 17:53

Posted too soon.

Basically it is crafty appearing stuff for people who don't actually craft themselves. I've nicer things (aprons etc) I've made in an evening.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 25/02/2014 17:53

How do you know Cath Kidston hates her own products? Confused Has she said that?

I like some things - I like the spotty bags & purses but not the birds so much. The floral designs I do sort of like, but not enough to actually spend the money on them IYSWIM.

ShyGirlie · 25/02/2014 17:53

No. Used to but overpriced, everywhere and too recognisable. Also many copies. Plus twee. Reminds me of either young teenagers or frumpiness.

OnTheBottomWithAWomansWeekly · 25/02/2014 17:54

And don't get me started on Orla Kiely... bags made of oilcloth, not even leather, that cost over 150 - my friend has two and the fabric is cracking with use.

Obviously I needed a rant!

Mintyy · 25/02/2014 17:54

No, it gives me the actual rage. I have posted ranting threads about it before on here.

MotherOfChickens · 25/02/2014 17:54

No, I'm sick of seeing twee vintage everywhere, it's not to my taste.

BoiledPiss · 25/02/2014 17:54

She hates her own products?!

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 25/02/2014 17:56

No

PurpleWithaMysteryBun · 25/02/2014 17:56

Not really.. However I did buy a folding change mat from them, that has been the best baby thing I have bought! Unfortunately, they have discontinued the style... Fits a big toddler on the changing area, wipes, nappies and cream etc and folds down to a great size.

happybubblebrain · 25/02/2014 17:57

No, but I don't hate.
