It all began 20 years ago with a small shop in Holland Park in London selling car boot vintage furniture finds repainted into pastel colours and vintage fabric.
Cath Kidston soon began to produce her own prints and products using vintage inspiration with a modern twist. The first products were an ironing board cover and floral wallpaper. Over the following years new prints were introduced such as the cowboys, strawberries, spots and roses and guess what, 20 years later the ironing board covers are still going strong and the products are sold worldwide.
There is a celebratory book which was launched yesterday too called Coming up Roses telling the story of the ups and downs of growing her own business.
