Do you like Cath Kidston?

[BoiledPiss]

Yes or no

I like the dog stuff but they stopped making it
Why? :(
But yes I like cath kidston, I think it was a very clever idea

Orla likely duvet sets are really comfortable btw. I get mine from tkmaxx thou

Yes some stuff. My d neices gave me a ck purse for Christmas and I love it!

Yes love it.

Apparently she doesn't use any of her own products as they are not her own style and refers to her product range as 'fussy' She also doesn't like housewives.

I have read a few interviews with her, the interviewers always comment on the fact that she has no 'Cath Kidston' style stuff in her own house.

Used to but sick of seeing it now.

No.
Sadly I think saturated market now IMO. Shame, as early stuff was lovely, but you see CK copies just about everywhere.

I thought she had sold it tbh
I don't think it's unusual she doesn't have it her own house either. I have a textiles degree though, it would drive you insane I think - being surrounded by your business idea. It's like with anything.
I thought, correct me if I am wrong, she isn't actually a print person either -rather a businesswoman?
I know orla likely us an actual artist teacher etc

was nice but now everywhere also the all over kidston look is horrible but the odd piece can be lovely like anything once it is everywhere it starts to look wrong same could be said of any trend like union jack cushions in different colour combos first was original now it is yuck

No, overly fussy and twee. Walking into one of the shops is enough to induce a headache. Emma Bridgewater isn't much better.

No

No. I remember her very first shop...and even then I thought "But I can get that down Walworth Road in the charity shop for 50p!"

No. It's over. It's such a specific 'look' that it could only be just a trend, not classic in any way. When it first came out it had a quite attractive air of being homely and domestic in a 1950s sort of way.Now it's been reproduced on every market stall and comes across as tacky. It looks a bit silly on grown women imo.

No way. Twee and done to death. shops remind me of something at a theme park.

Ha - just read that article. As if CK gives a bollocks what some journalist thinks, she's made millions out of this chintzy crap.

No. That's hilarious that Cath doesn't like it either!

Yes. On mugs

Yes, very much. Not stuff on its own in general but using the fabrics to make cushions/tablecloths/small things.

I love the London print and I'm gutted at things they discontinued like the wallpapers I liked and the dog beds.

The concept was mid to late 40s
I could of done a better job of that article
She was also quite heavily supported by her wealthy family to set up her business, she didn't do it with 50p in her back pocket
I have nothing against her anyway, I think.. it was a brilliant idea. I wish I had thought of it and had a wealthy family :)

So the consensus is no then!

Yes for nightwear and some of the kiddie items.

Yes for the spot prints (kindle case, purse etc)

No for the daytime wear

No

Fine if it's for children though.

No. The bags are everywhere now, lots of teens seem to have me or fake versions.

All a bit too fussy anyway.
