[JOBS] TEXTILE PRINT DESIGN ASSISTANT : CATH KIDSTON

Description

We are looking for an authentic and original Print Design Assistant with a passion for Cath Kidston.

a Little Bit About Us

Cath Kidston is a very British brand that always looks on the bright side of life. With a glass-so-full-it’s-spilling-over-the-sides approach and a playful humour, we started in 1993 with a small shop in West London selling car boot finds and vintage fabric, and now have adventures all over the world.

For nearly 30 years, our hand-drawn prints have set alight the hearts and minds of the Great British public – and beyond – making us a household name. We like to think of our products as portable sunshine, lifelong reminders to find the extraordinary in the everyday.

As we leap into a new era of Cath Kidston, we’re looking for the right people to help us make it all happen.
