Im a huge fan of the chain of shops called "Cath Kidston". It's typically British and i've been collecting items from there for the past couple of years. Before I start I want to say that I do work for Cath Kidston however it does not affect my views and I'm not being sponsored, I was a collector way before I started working for them. The links I provide below are purely to help direct you to the product and are not affiliate links. Below I will take you through the items I own and add links if they are still available. So grab a hot beverage, sit back and enjoy all that is Cath Kidston.
So lets start with what they are most well known for and thats their bags. They have a wide variety of patterns and styles so there's always something for everyone. The bag on the left is a cross body bag (with the option to adjust it to over the shoulder) and is light blue with small pink flowers and a buckle feature. The bag on the right is slightly smaller and is a light green with small pink and white flowers. I purchased the blue one from the outlet at Gunwhalf Quays and the right one on Asos.com
This navy polka dot business bag was again purchased earlier this year at the outlet. I purchased it with the purpose of using it for uni as it is huge to fit any sketchbooks or photography equipment in ( which it does perfectly) but also has a cushioned laptop sleeve perfect for anyone who likes to travel with their's. It has a large front zip pocket and 3 more pockets on the inside. The oilcloth material makes it perfect for cleaning and resists the rain.
This is my most recent bag which I bought a couple of weeks ago in the sale for £20 when it was originally £38. This bag has a cotton exterior however the inside is completely waterproof and the contents stayed dry when I was caught in a rain storm. Another benefit to this bag is that it is completely machine washable! Believe it or not this bag comes folded up in a small pouch which you can then use to organise the inside with as there are no internal pockets. So far I've seen people buy this for work, travel/planes and even for a trip to the hospital. This style and print of bag comes in the smaller size shown and a larger travel bag which costs £25 in the sale. Here are the links to both the smaller and larger size.
This mug I bought before Christmas and since has gone in the sale, it is the Christmas London print on a cedar style mug and I love it! This print shows typical London monuments in a snowy winter scene. Online I could only find the non Christmas style which features a light blue background and no snow however that has sold out. NO FEAR! It is now available on their Stanley mugs which you can find here.
This jumper is my most recent CK purchase and boy did I resist it for ages. It comes in black, emerald green and the ruby red that I own. However I can't find either of the three online. The other day I saw that there was just one size which was a small ( usually I am a 6/xs at CK as their clothes run big) and I just had to try it and surprisingly it fit well, a little oversized but it didn't look too big on me. It is super soft despite the glitter aspect which you can't even feel. I got it for £20 down from £38.
This jumper I bought late November and non stop wore it throughout December. I didn't have a Christmas jumper before this and I had to buy it. I love thats its grey and can be worn with absolutely anything. You can still find this online here on sale from £35 to £18.
The next item is this beautiful red bus dress. I bought this in a size 6 and as a short person I need to take the hem up. I've seen it styled with a long sleeve T-shirt for the winter but is also light enough for the summer. It also has pockets which is a feature I love. You can find it in the sale here.
In my collection I have to pairs of pj bottoms both in xs. On the left is the same bus print as my dress which I got for Christmas and on the right is the Christmas London print( the same as my mug). They both have pockets on the sides and one on the back. I find that these come up quite long (for reference i'm 5ft1). The bus print isn't in the sale, however the London one is in the sale.
This piece is one of my most recent and is part of the new spring line, it is called the "Paradise Fields Jersey Dress With Collar". I really love the Paradise Fields and Paradise Bunch prints this season and I plan to get a few more pieces from this line. The dress is £55 and you can find it here.
This last piece is a gorgeous soft jumper that features three tulips and is made out of 100% wool. Despite the photo making the jumper look black it is actually navy and is speckled with red, yellow, blue and green thread. I did purchase this as part of my uniform in which the company gives us an allowance to buy a piece of new fashion to wear to work.
This jumper retails for £85 and to be honest I personally couldn't justify the price if I didn't have my uniform allowance which made it a lot cheaper. Having said that if you can afford this or wait until it goes in the sale later in the year then I really suggest it as its so soft and beautiful. You can find it online here.
For any pieces that may be sold out check out your local outlet store which you can find here.
I hope you enjoyed this post, i've actually done a Youtube video showing these items in more detail which you can see below.
Until next time, Sophie x
