VINTAGE-INSPIRED home, leisure and fashion store Cath Kidston is one of several new outlets opening at Liverpool One during the next few weeks.
The Cath Kidston store, the first in the city, will form a cornerstone of the Peter’s Lane area of the £1bn Liverpool One development, bringing its signature floral designs to children’s wear, jewellery and household accessories.
The company was founded in 1993, when Ms Kidston opened the first shop in Notting Hill selling old junk furniture and vintage fabrics.
This led to her creating her own distinctive fabric and product designs. There are now 21 shops in the UK (nine in London plus two concessions). It also has outlets in Tokyo, Nagoya and Yokohama in Japan.
The store takes over two storeys of Compton House, on School Lane, a five-storey warehouse built in 1870 and next to Bluecoat Chambers.
