Here (http://www.cathkidston.co.uk/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=151-119-48-2&cid=BedspreadsThrows&pcidl=&language=en-GB) it is. I wonder who could make it cheapest? Littleblue, is some 99p DK called for?:idea:

My mum has one just like that but in the 1970's brown colourway. I'd send her the link but I don't think she'd survive the shock.

It's amazing the kind of money people will pay for something just because it has a designers name on it.

I nearly spat out my coffee when I saw the price! For £160 you could make a Debbie Abrahams blanket, or part of one anyway...besides it's only chain stitch and trebles, you could learn the pattern by heart in an hour, two if you'd never crocheted before.

Maybe I steal some Cath Kidston labels and make some knock-offs? I feel there is a fortune to be made...

Depends what labels I could get hold of. Think anyone would believe it was Gucci? There's £500 quid right there. :hihi:

Cant get over this, keep looking at it. I made one of these when I was a girl. The dog ended up with it.
