The new year is a time to embrace new beginnings. Inspired by her move to a new abode, Cath Kidston shows the English countryside with her Spring/Summer 2015 A Breath of Fresh Air Collection. Staying true to the name, the collection sees key prints that features just about everything that has to do with nature and the inviting English countryside. From big open skies to wildflowers and animals surrounding the house.
There are delightful tales and details behind each print – the light and airy Clouds print, colour-streaked Beacon View print, whimsical Home Farm print and cheery Farmyard and Mini Farmyard prints, which will be a hit with the kids.
Playful and optimistic, the Clouds print sees fresh blue skies of spring punctuated by floating white clouds, complemented with sunny yellow highlights. The quirky Small Cotton Backpack and functional Leather Trim Medium Tote bring back Cath’s nostalgic memories of lying on lush meadows and gazing at the clouds, trying to imagine shapes out of them.
Brighten up someone’s day with the Bookbag with Gusset or the Large Open Carryall in the Beacon View print. The rolling hills, valleys and wildlife of the rainbow bright Beacon View print capture the epitome of the English countryside in spring. The inspiration stems from a breath-taking view of the countryside that stretches out for miles, from atop a hill-top beacon a short walk from Cath’s house.
And what’s a countryside without the sights and sounds of spirited farm animals frolicking on vast plains? These charming animals come alive in the fun and graphic Home Farm novelty print on the Matt Coated Backpack and adorable Kids Apron. Also look out for Cath’s lovable Sealyham Terrier Billie in this farm print – he is featured in individual placements with the other animals!
The darling Farmyard and Mini Farmyard prints see colourful tractors chugging happily alongside rows of animal silhouettes; this print was created upon a special little request from the Head of Print’s son! The Drawstring Rucksack in the Farmyard print is the perfect cheerful companion for a child’s first day of school; or dress up precious little ones in the 2 Pack Bodysuit and Mini Rucksack in the Mini Farmyard print.
