Cath Kidston, Official UK Website: ›› Cath Kidston, UK
Cath Kidston is one of Britain's leading and most loved designers. Cath Kidston is most well-known for her vintage inspired prints on everything from clothing and accessories to a variety of homewares and home furnishings. Mixing the whimsical, the classical and the nostalgic, is what has given the Cath Kidston range of products a refreshingly modern edge. Her passion for the past has shaped the design vision, and the ability to translate this love into fun, yet practical products, has allowed the company to experience continued growth.
The Cath Kidston company was founded in 1992, when Cath Kidson opened her first shop in Notting Hill, selling old junk furniture and vintage fabrics. This first foray into retail sowed the seeds for Cath Kidston to create her own distinctive fabric and product designs. There are now eighteen shops in the UK, with several in London plus concession outlets too. Cath Kidston also has stores in Tokyo, Nagoya and Yokohama in Japan, which has promoted the Cath Kidston brand-name even further afield.
Over the years, the Cath Kidston company has built up an almost cult-like following of extremely loyal customers. The Cath Kidston product range appeals to all ages - from teenagers enjoying the bookbags and accessories, and mums who are huge fans of the Cath Kidston range of clothing to grandparents who are just as fervent in their love of the beautiful range of Cath Kidston fabrics and home furnishings.
With Cath Kidston involved in every aspect of the business - she is both Designer and Creative Director - Cath Kidston Limited retains a personal touch often lost in companies of a similar size.
