About Cath Kidston
Cath Kidston is a quintessentially British lifestyle brand founded in 1993 by designer Catherine Kidston, who opened her first shop in Holland Park, London with an initial investment of just £15,000. The brand quickly became synonymous with nostalgic, vintage-inspired designs featuring hand-drawn roses, polka dots, strawberries, and 1950s-era aesthetics that evoke the charm of traditional British domesticity. Starting as a small boutique selling vintage fabrics and homeware sourced from markets and auctions, Cath Kidston grew into a global brand with over 200 stores at its peak, including locations in China, Japan, and France. The brand's signature aesthetic draws inspiration from 1950s to 1970s British heritage, creating practical products with whimsical, memory-evoking prints that blend functionality with vintage charm. Under Next's ownership since the brand's restructuring, Cath Kidston continues to offer its distinctive prints across a range of products. Licensed products featuring the iconic Cath Kidston patterns include homeware, accessories, and everyday items like printed tissue boxes, bringing the brand's joyful designs to practical household products available in UK supermarkets.
