Naff, naff, naff as hell. So contrived and twee.

Am I alone in feeling this way? Prefer funkier stuff myself, and I'm CK's "target market". Just because I'm a homely woman does not mean I can tolerate that hideously chintzy overpriced tat.

[Deleted User] · 17/09/13 - 23:25

I'm not a fan. Wouldn't give it house room etc.

[Deleted User] · 17/09/13 - 23:25

Nope and add in Jo Malone and The White Company to that as well. So yummy-mummy middle class.

I dunno. I don't mind their cowboy motif.

I love the designs but far too expensive for me

Stick Boden on that list too.

I think it's more the menopausal market

Obviously apart from the baby change bags

Not my scene

I like the spotty stuff, , but it's so expensive.

I have a couple of bits that I got for my birthday, it's stuff I wouldn't buy though

There is a White Company in Cambridge. Who on earth has a grand to spend on a sheepskin bean bag??? Who!

Twee middle aged women. Im post menopausal and it never appealed, tho some idiot gave me an Ipad cover.:o

[Deleted User] · 17/09/13 - 23:33

I can't stand Cath Kidston crap. Its all too mumsy for my liking.
How its got a cult following I'll never know! Its like those pandora things - cack, yet has a massive following. I really don't get it.

Edit. Mumsy and pretentious crap. I really do not get the obsession so many have with it.

I've got a Cath Kidston pinny, two Boden skirts and a couple of things from the White Company

I'm not a 'yummy mummy' (how I hate that term!), menopausal nor middle class.

The pinny has been worn once, both skirts also worn once and the White Company bits are a mattress topper and a mattress protector (only place I could find a 100% cotton one).

No Jo Malone though

Oh, and Boden? Sheesh! I'm there with you. It's all the new old Laura Ashley.

The bags look horrible...

I thought she was a novelist.

Just the bags? The whole lot is hideous, like granny's 80s wallpaper & curtains. How on earth it's so popular it's beyond me.

Cookson writes the books dear heart.

Best pop a scented candle on your Christmas list for the full house!

You can go too far the other way though, like buying something from Create and Craft:eek:.

At the price range, they're competing with the likes of LK Bennett and Karen Millen. Madness.

Oh right. I'm illiterate and wear sacks. It's all Russian to me.

JessTheCat · 17/09/13 - 23:44

Don't like it, can't afford it!

I prefer to look for odds and ends that appeal to me, not bothered about everything being co-ordinated as long as I enjoy looking at it

benjamini · 17/09/13 - 23:44

It always strikes me its for grown up women who love being girlies, if you know what I mean.

Hey there!
