Cath Kidston has got us kitted out for everything autumn has to throw at us with their brand new, luxury Freston collection.
Cath Kidston has always been a favourite quintessentially British brand that brings out memories of Sunday roasts, country cottages and hedgerow walks. From their keyrings to kitchen aprons they are a brand that reminds you of home, comfort and baking with Mum and have long been the go-to place to find the perfect heart-warming gift for a loved one and they endlessly supply wardrobe and accessory staples. We love all their prints from polka dots to florals but their new Freston collection is something new, exciting and, in a change of direction for the brand, luxurious!
The collection is named after their London HQ on Freston Road in Notting Hill which is why the incorporation of their old school, cowboy and cactus characters are so fitting with the tongue-in-cheek campaign imagery depicting the wild West of London. The pretty scallop design of the print both continues the Cath legacy of feminine pattern and sets a tone for the future of Cath Kidston with it’s modern, chic look, whilst the addition of kitsch cowboy imagery makes it a downplayed statement piece that adds character to practicality. It’s neutral tones of navies and taupes make the range super wearable and versatile, suitable for a corporate event or even picking the kids up from school! What's not to love?

But what’s particularly exciting about this range is the element of luxury. The Freston bag range ditches PVC and canvas in exchange for leather trims and brass hardware. The combination of premium materials and chic prints makes the collection totally worth the extra dollar!
The Freston collection doesn’t only consist of bags and accessories but they’ve also sorted us out with the perfect autumnal essentials. It’s as if Cath Kidston have predicted the weather forecast and are protecting us from the future rainstorms from welly boots to pac-a-macs saving you from having to spend ages scrolling through your online shop trying to find the perfect rain gear.
So which bits are catching your eye?
We'll be sporting the Freston Tall Tote with a plain white Tee and high waisted jeans for an easy weekend vibe, but if you want to be a little smarter put on the Freston Demi bag with a trench coat, black cigarette trousers and ankle boots to nail the corporate chic look.
