We adore their practicality, floral patterns and machine washability! And this Cath Kidston Spot Saddle Bag is no exception. A proven favourite amongst students, this is the ideal university handbag or the perfect day bag for mums on the go!

Handbag Experience 

With it’s long adjustable strap that can be worn on the shoulder or across the body this bag is super practical. A recent report showed that cross-body bags are the most popular amongst UK buyers – and we can see why. The cute white spots show that anyone that carries this bag has a girly and fun side and additionally it is the ideal size for books, notepads etc.

When and Where is it Perfect for? 

Ideal for Chic Yummy Mummies to carry all those baby essentials but Miss Practicals and Big Bag Lovers will also love the versatility and functionality of this cute Cath Kidston satchel. As mentioned, it is the ideal college/university handbag as there is tons of room for books and more. It is also a great baby bag as can hang easily on the handles of a pram or buggy and has easy accessible compartments to keep you organised.


Interior

With a large zip pocket inside and four additional slip pockets, this bag will ensure you keep all your bits and bobs in place.  With room for a laptop, the bag is ideal for busy women. With cream material lining the bag is sleek and elegant on the inside and makes it very easy to see where your treasures are hiding.

Material 

Made using the famous Cath Kidston durable oilcloth and completed with leather trims, the Cath Kidston Spot Saddle bag is super easy to care for. Easily wipeable with a sponge, it always looks clean and doesn’t stain – great if you have mucky little hands always on it!

BagServant’s thoughts

We didn’t realise how much we loved this bag until we actually saw it. It’s a great size, durable, great value for money (£68)  and super duper cute. The Cath Kidston Spot Saddle bag allows us to embrace our girly side and looks great with anything. Paired with casual jeans or even a smart suit, this handbag wouldn’t look out of place anywhere. Additionally, it allows us to carry around all our essentials without becoming too heavy or looking bulky. Yes, this bag absolutely gets the thumbs up from us.

Cath Kidston Bloomsbury Messenger Bag #bagreview http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-bloomsbury-messenger-bag-bagreview/ http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-bloomsbury-messenger-bag-bagreview/#comments Thu, 06 Jun 2013 11:28:12 +0000 http://bagservant.co.uk/content/?p=18492188031 Cath Kidston handbags have become increasingly popular since their launch almost 20 years ago. Their cute florals and funky spotty designs teamed with the ultimate practicality factor,  have ensured the handbags have become a huge hit amongst busy mums and students a like. We reviewed and loved the Cath Kidston Spot Saddle bag and the Cath Kidston range of changing bags, so we thought we would take a look at the Cath Kidston Bloomsbury Folded Messenger Bag and see if that follows suit and ticks all the same boxes.

 

How big are they? 

With dimensions of 14″ x 15.7″ x 3.9″, this bag is rather roomy for a messenger. Made from 100% cotton the bag feels and looks great. With room for keys, make-up, snacks and more, this bag is plenty big enough for a day out. The messenger strap means it is great for travelling as you can remain hands free and rest assured the bag is still safely secure at your side – another plus for Chic Yummy Mummies and Miss Practicals.

Cath Kidston Changing Bags: Bag Review http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-changing-bags-bag-review/ http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-changing-bags-bag-review/#comments Tue, 16 Oct 2012 10:37:50 +0000 http://bagservant.co.uk/content/?p=18492184565 Cath Kidston sure do get that Chic Yummy Mummy look spot on. From purses to satchels to kitchenware, their floral patterns and retro style are always a hit with mums and more. So, when looking for the ideal changing bag for your little bundle of joy, who better to turn to than the faithful Cath Kidston.

Handbag Experience

One of the best things about a Cath Kidston changing bag is that it doesn’t look like a typical changing bag! Disguised as a pretty shoulder bag with a comfortable strap, the bag will give your outfit a burst of colour but is still practical enough to fit all your baby essentials. Complete with a changing mat and insulated bottle cover, the bag is perfect for mums on the go.

When and Where is it Perfect for? 

Well, for once this is a very simple question. The Cath Kidston changing bags are ideal for Chic Yummy Mummies and Miss Practicals. The bag will ensure you keep all your baby bits organised, so you can take your little one on a day out without having to worry. The long shoulder strap means the bag can rest comfortably on the pram handles so you can be ‘hands free’ when your baby gets to the walking stages and keeping you on your toes. The range of changing bags from Cath Kidston really do what they say on the tin and we think they are the best ones on the market today! And, to top it all off, gorgeous yummy mummy Denise Van Outen is a big fan of the bag – if it’s good enough for Denise, it’s certainly good enough for us!

Interior 

With six internal pockets, elasticated bottle holders on either side and a large compartment at the back of the bag, it really is perfect for those who like to stay organised.

Material

Made using the famous Cath Kidston durable oilcloth and completed with leather trims, the Cath Kidston changing bag collection is super easy to care for. Easily wipeable with a sponge, it always looks clean and doesn’t stain – great if you have mucky little hands always on it!

Best colour to pick 

The Cath Kidston changing bags are available in many of the cute designs. Antique Rose, Spotted, Pinny and more, they are all adorable. We like the Spotted one for it’s subtleness but still fun nature and the Antique Rose one for it’s sweet floral design and its ability to brighten up jeans and a t-shirt. The bags also come in other special edition cute designs such as the specialty ‘Guards’ design (below) – how patriotic!

BagServant’s thoughts

When it comes to choosing a changing bag you want to be sure you are getting the right thing. With a new baby on your hands you need to be organised and ready to go. This bag allows you to do exactly that. Starting at £65.00 the bags are a bargain. So many designer brands bring out baby bags but it is really not necessary to fork out a small fortune just for a label when the Cath Kidston bags are everything you need!

Baby Bags: Be a Chic Yummy Mummy http://bagservant.co.uk/content/baby-bags-be-a-chic-yummy-mummy/ http://bagservant.co.uk/content/baby-bags-be-a-chic-yummy-mummy/#comments Wed, 10 Oct 2012 20:21:24 +0000 http://bagservant.co.uk/content/?p=18492184505 Just because are you a mummy now, doesn’t mean you have to lose your style identity. Frumpy mummies are becoming a thing of the past and Chic Yummy Mummies are being spotted strutting down every high-street across the globe.

Baby bags need to fit all those baby essentials – from nappies and wipes to spare clothes, food and more, so compartments, pockets and zips are essential. But, of course we still want to look stylish and on trend. You can be both PRACTICAL and FASHIONABLE!

Through popular demand, we have picked out our top Yummy Mummy bags for you – we really hope this helps!

Cath Kidston: New For This Season http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-new-for-this-season/ http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-new-for-this-season/#comments Wed, 10 Oct 2012 15:28:22 +0000 http://bagservant.co.uk/content/?p=18492184527 After our recent trip to Cath Kidston we have found out LOTS of things we didn’t know about this season’s new collection.

For example, they have introduced an ultra light and super cool new material. The matt oilcloth finish. The material has been used specially for travel bags – so you can carry more without the bag becoming too heavy.

This pretty travel bag (below) in the great lightweight matt oilcloth finish is just the thing for short breaks. It has a spacious internal pocket and two side pockets, all with zip fastenings, so there’s room for everything. Complete in the Cath Kidston classic Spot print with a removable shoulder strap and in-built luggage tag, you’ll want to take it everywhere. The material has also been used for a suitcase – and honestly, it is the lightest suitcase we have ever seen, ideal for those RyanAir or EasyJet flights!

Also new for this season is the cute Red Berry print. Already selling-out nation wide, this bright print is a great winter pick-me-up to cheer up any dull day. The spots are slightly smaller and more discreet than previous designs and we love it. Already we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next season.

Another great new Cath Kidston handbag that we have totally fallen in love with, is the business/laptop bag. With a padded compartment at the back to store your laptop safely and securely, the bags are ideal for women on the go. Hidden away, no one will know your laptop is in there and there is still plenty of room left for all your daily essentials. What a genius invention!

Cath Kidston Notting Hill Day Handbag: Bag Review http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-notting-hill-day-handbag-bag-review/ http://bagservant.co.uk/content/cath-kidston-notting-hill-day-handbag-bag-review/#comments Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:19:42 +0000 http://bagservant.co.uk/content/?p=18492184080 When it comes to finding the perfect day handbag we couldn’t resist picking up the Cath Kidston Notting Hill Day Handbag. Not only is it ideal to carry around when you’re going  out shopping, it is also very versatile and can be worn when you’re having a denim day or going to work.  A member of the BagServant team wore the Notting Hill Day Handbag last weekend to see how practical and most importantly how functional it  really was.

Handbag Experience                                                                   

We found the Cath Kidston Notting Hill Day Handbag was fabulous! Not only did it  carry everyday essentials (make-up bag, perfume and purse) but it managed to carry much more than we expected. The hardware material on the outside is also a bonus as it’s easy to wipe away any dirt without having to worry that the handbag would be stained permanently. We also found that the bag was fashionable and worked well with many different outfits and shoes.

When and Where is it Perfect for?

The Notting Hill handbag is perfect for all those Miss Practical’s who like buying handbags that have a simple shape and most importantly serve a purpose. We found this bag is great to wear for a day out shopping or even going out for a day out shopping with the girlfriends.

Interior                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

The Cath Kidston Notting Hill has a cotton lining and one zipped pocket on the inside which is great to keep your travel card, keys or mobile phone. That said the Notting Hill  does not have a lot of compartments to keep your handbag organised on the inside it makes up for this by having two compartments on the outside. Which is great for keeping you umbrella handy when it startes to pour.

Material    

As mentioned before, the handbag has an oilcloth finish meaning which makes it easy to wipe clean. The Cath Kidston Notting Hill Day Handbag also has a leather trim and cotton handles which make the handbag more durable and easier to carry.

Best colour to pick  

If the Cath Kidston Notting Hill in charcoal is not the colour or print that you are looking for, then don’t worry as the Day Handbag is also available in different prints including Antique Rose, Floral, Berry or Green Spot Print.

BagServant’s thoughts
