Design pick: Clifton rose ceramic rolling pin from Cath Kidston

ByLife in Luxury October 27, 2014October 1, 2014

Who? Cath Kidston What? This Clifton rose ceramic rolling pin from Cath Kidston is rather twee but we like it anyway. It has that kitschy vintage kitchen feel to it, which is sort of nice in our modern hectic lives, but is functional too. Though we dare say that even if it doesn’t get much use in your kitchen, it’ll still look pretty darn nice. When? Available now Where? Available online from Cath Kidston How?
