Whenever we think our love affair with Cath Kidston is finally over, we are proved wrong. And here we go, heart pitter-pattering again. 

Now, we have history with Cath. Once upon a time, in the very early days of her brand (when her only outlet was a store at Clarendon Cross that sold items new and old), Jo and Cath used almost to do a tug-of-war over vintage fabric finds under the flyover on Portobello Road on a Friday morning.

Sometimes Cath won, sometimes Jo did; Cath went on to parlay her love of textiles into a hugely successful global business, and Jo... well, Jo got some nice cushions out of it!

But strolling down Piccadilly (where the shop has reopened), Jo's eye landed upon this most smile-making of designs, splashed across many different items – but including this most useful, wipeable make-up bag (capacious enough for a small weekend kit, we'd say, too). And guess what... it went home with Jo. (In truth, so did a small purse.)

Because who can resist cheery cherries...?
