Cath Kidston launches collection with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity

Cath Kidston launches limited-edition collection with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, inspired by the work of their play team

British lifestyle brand, Cath Kidston, known globally for their heritage of joyful, hand-painted prints, has partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) to offer a specially painted, limited-edition print collection of pyjamas, womenswear, childrenswear, bags, accessories and mugs.

An ode to the work of the teams at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), one of the world’s leading children’s hospitals based in London since 1852, the hero print of the collection named ‘Hope and Heart’ was painted especially to celebrate the caregivers and specialist Play team who protect the preciousness of childhood for its patients and their families. The animals of the ward names at GOSH have been painted as young animals, encased in a vignette of the seasons, depicting how the hospital’s Play team – which is funded by GOSH Charity – spoke of keeping the children connected to nature through crafts and play.

Storybooks lie open, their pages spilling with colour, a nod to the literary roots of the hospital and their renowned supporters, Charles Dickens and JM Barrie. Paintings swing drying in the breeze and toys scatter throughout. An uplifting tale of heart and hope, created to capture the heroic spirit and poignant magic of the community, who make a home and an extended family within the walls of the hospital.
