Well what a shambles the release of the new Mickey and Minnie collection was on the Cath Kidston website last night. Surely they must know how crazy us Disney geeks get over the new collaborations! Their website just couldn't cope with the sheer volume of customers it attracted. I know so many ladies were unlucky in their bid to make a purchase, but I for one am not complaining. Although it took me over an hour for the website to let me in, I did manage to purchase everything I wanted from the new collection, minus one dress. But that was due to the extortionate price of it which I couldn't justify spending.
I made three separate transactions. Because each one was over £25, I didn't have to pay any postage which was a bonus. My first transaction was for the Minnie mews dress which was the item I wanted the most. Then I went back in again and ordered the backpack, brooch and key ring. And the last transaction was for the kids bits which I have put away for Amelia's birthday. I got her the Minnie dress, handbag, coin purse and T-shirt, and also a laptop case for me. I have been looking for one for a while as we plan on taking a small laptop to Florida with us this October so I can back up all my photos. This definitely fit the bill!
UPDATE 8/12/16:
All of my purchases have arrived and are just beautiful! The bag is a lovely quality and will be fab in the theme parks next October and the dress fits perfectly. I am so pleased with it. I haven't opened Amelia's things yet as she was home when they arrived so I quickly hid them away until her birthday next April. But they look lovely.
I have heard various rumours on Instagram that the next collaboration could be either 101 Dalmatians or Tinkerbell. I'm not too keen on 101 Dalmatians, but I can see Peter Pan/Tink flying over Cath's London town houses. That would be just amazing. Fingers crossed. Only time will tell.
