I LOVE Cath Kidston stuff - I always used to think it was expensive but when you look at what you get and how long you use it for (I have had a shopper bag for years and use it all the time) it's definitely worth it. Love the kids things in there too - the shop in North Cote Road, London is like heaven! About 3 years ago

It is all very 1950's housewife style - although there is something quite cosy about it and it's very feminine, which is prob why women flock towards it. I am loving the radio and the sewing kit might even tempt me to start knitting! About 3 years ago
