There’s barely an oilcloth, mug or ironing board cover that hasn’t been embellished with a nostalgic floral print from Cath Kidston. Because of the brand’s ubiquity, it’s easy to forget quite how influential it was when it appeared in the 1990s.What I love about Cath is that she’s living proof you can be a wildly successful entrepreneur whilst also being a kind, gentle soul. Although her name’s still above the door, she hasn’t been involved with the Cath Kidston business for many years, so I was intrigued to find out what that feels like.&nbsp;She’s now set up a bodycare brand called C. Atherley, which makes all of its products using scented geraniums. Despite her love of flowers, life hasn’t always been a bed of David Austin roses for Cath and she talks very honestly about the personal grief she’s suffered through her life.&nbsp;She has a great eye for interiors and we had this conversation at her kitchen table in London, with a surprisingly modern backdrop of Danish wood flooring and an Ellsworth Kelly artwork.&nbsp;Cath was very generous with her time and emotions and I’m really happy with how this episode has turned out. I hope you enjoy it.This episode was recorded in person at Cath Kidston’s West London home.For more:&nbsp;Visit <a href="https://www.themodernhouse.com/preview/journal/504129/?token=06ce1226bb046a0f82ad0044f04bd3ce" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Modern House website </a>to see images of the spaces discussed in this episodeCheck out Cath Kidston’s latest venture, <a href="https://c-atherley.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">C.Atherley</a>Production: Hannah PhillipsEditing: Oscar CrawfordGraphic Design: Tom YoungMusic: <a href="https://wearefather.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Father</a>This episode was sponsored by <a href="https://www.vitsoe.com/rw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vitsoe.</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
