C. Atherley is the new shop and brand of my favourite Catherine Kidston Padgham MBE. I finally got to visit the shop last week as I had to spent 4 days in London accompanying my friend to the London Book fair. It was also my first time in Connaught Village, which I feel will turn into a lovely new shopping area.




C.Atherley is a British body care brand which expertly captures the magic and soothing fragrance of scented leaf geraniums. From plant to product, these bespoke formulations have been developed, created and bottled in the English countryside.
Selling only two natural geranium fragrances, Radens in Geranium No.1 and Tomentosum in Geranium No.2. The no.1 is my favourite as it’s a lovely classic geranium fragrance, no.2 is more minty fragranced.
The shop design was all done by Cath herself, she’s also runs the shop herself and it was just all sorts of perfect the way you can accept it to be.
I love how the till looks like the sales person is in a greenhouse. I’m obviously thinking about where I can recreate this in my own home, I just love it. But I guess it will work out in a potential new home where I can integrate it in the kitchen and use it as a pantry. The big M&S bag is mine as I forgot to move it out of sight, I bought a bunch of trousers in the sale on Oxford Street.

Connaught Village is situated in West London. It’s a lovely quiet shopping area, a stone throw away from Hyde Park, Marble Arch, Oxford Street and Paddington. I always prefer ‘little villages’ like Connaught over the busy tourist packed high streets.
Love, Yvonne
I would go crazy in there. I love the smell of geraniums- I rub their leaves with my fingers and put it on my wrists. LOL I need this shop in my life!!!!
