Cath Kidston partners with Roberts on flowery DAB radio

You already know what Cath Kidston can do, and it seems the designer is striking back once more by flowering up a Roberts DAB radio. Dubbed the Washed Rose, this retro-inspired device sports a cutesy floral pattern, built-in display, automatic tuning, a carry handle, PausePlus to pause / rewind live programming, and the usual complement of knobs and buttons. Granted, she ain't cheap at £200 ($402), but that's the premium you'll pay for a design such as this, we suppose.

This design costs a premium? Do they at least include coupons for a free pair of Birkenstocks, half off your next pair of prescription horn-rims and details on how to plan your next Canasta social?

I think Cath Kidston is GENIUS and anyone who doesn't adore the foral beauty of this product should be ashamed of themselves! Worth every penny... I want one!!!!
