Cath Kidston

Cath Kidson Ltd was first formed in the early 1990's, when designer Cath Kidston opened a small shop in Holland Park, in London. Cath Kidston began her business by selling the vintage-style wallpapers and fabric, and brightly-coloured junk furniture she remembered with fondness from her childhood. The clever re-designs of traditional English country-house styles soon propelled the business to great success.

Gradually, as business began to boom, Cath Kidston started designing her own prints and other products. One of the first of these original Cath Kidston products was a printed ironing board cover, which was practical, quirky and showed off a distinctive floral print. This first design came to symbolise the Cath Kidston look. However, since those early days, the Kath Kidston product range has steadily expanded to include an extensive range of distinctive homewares, as well as women's fashion and accessories. In 2008 Kath Kidson also launched the Cath Kids brand, for children.

At the Cath Kidston online store you'll find all manner of unique fashion and homeware products, must-have accessories and more; and, of course, very competitive prices. Listed below is just a small selection of what you can now find at Cath Kidston Online Store:

Over the years since the Cath Kidson business was first formed Cath Kitson high-profile collaborations have included creating tents with Milletts, Nokia mobile phones with Carphone Warehouse and collectible radios with Roberts. In 2008 Cath Kidston also collaborated with Tesco to produce printed eco-friendly shopping bags created from plastic bottles to raise funds for a cancer charity. The Cath Kidston eco-friendly bags raised over £400,000 for the Marie Curie charity and saved almost six million plastic bottles from ending up in landfills. Cath Kidston has also published four books; the most recent book, published in 2008, is called Make!

The Cath Kidston business has since expanded steadily over the past decade to become a unique global lifestyle brand. There are currently 26 Cath Kidston shops and concessions in the UK, two more shops in the Republic of Ireland and five Cath Kidston shops in Japan. The remarkably successful worldwide mail-order and wholesale divisions of Cath Kidston also continue to grow. Indeed, Cath Kidston Ltd is among the most original design companies to emerge from the UK retail sector in recent years and celebrated its 18th Birthday in October 2011.
