It is one big Christmas store – all 7,000 square foot of it - all dressed up for the festive season in Kidston’s distinctive quaint way.
The new flagship is in a great location just a stone’s throw from the iconic Fortnum & Mason.
In the store, you can find 20,000 items for all in the family, from Christmas jumpers with a nostalgic Santa motif to sweatshirts, pyjamas, bags, knapsacks, toys, stationery, homeware, tableware, and furniture, plus special services that include bespoke furniture upholstery.
Not to be missed are her floral designs as well as signature “spot and star” and novelty prints and as well as the famous Cowboy motif.

Initially trained as an interior designer under decorator Nicky Haslam, Ms Kidston opened her first shop in West London (Holland Park) in 1994 after recovering from breast cancer in her 30s, with a start-up budget of £15,000.
Now 20 years later, with currently 61 Cath Kidston stores in the UK and 75 overseas, including a store which just opened in Shanghai this autumn, sales surpassed the £100 million mark for the first time in March this year. Since 2010, the company is 60% owned by private equity investors TA Associates which is pushing expansion plans and is now planning to put it up for sale in 2014 with a price tag of £250million, which reportedly could see the 55-year-old Ms Kidston earn £50million from any deal.
