Bad Path Cath
July 13, 2006

I'm never really excited about the summer sales and how prices are low, I'm more excited about the summer sale because I know it means new stuff after the sale. Mostly I am excited about the Cath Kidston goods. I'm always hoping for the 2004 collection and her box files because those are my favorites. I can't say that I haven't been shopping around a bit in her current sale because that would be a lie. And a good thing that is that I'm done with my shopping because today I checked back and I found myself totally, utterly in shock and super ... super disappointed in Cath Kidston.

This is what I found.

Look at a random page of Cath Kidston's new layout and look at a random page of the GreenGate layout. I'm shocked, it's almost the same but the Cath Kidston people done a really poorly job. And to make matters EVEN worse she made her overseas shipping fees astronomically high.

I can't believe this!

With the new shipping fees it's actually cheaper, for most people in the EU, to buy a plane ticket to shop at her London shop rather than to order online. That's crazy!!

I'm not having this! I'm never really one for getting angry of things like this but I'm bloody well in love with Cath Kidston and I can't just stop buying her stuff because she's being a twat!!

I've decided that I'm going to mail the people at Cath Kidston and tell them about my disappointment and how I want things back the way they were. It's not that shipping fees ever been cheap for people living outside the UK but they were reasonable. This isn't!!

Please leave a comment if you feel the same disappointment and if you want to back me up, I'd really appreciate that!!
