Retro Radio by Cath Kidston Roberts

Following on from last year’s Star radio, Cath Kidston has once more teamed up with retro DAB specialists Roberts to create the Washed Rose DAB radio. So you already know what Cath Kidston can do, and it seems the designer is striking back once more by flowering up a Roberts.

The design is pure Roberts - a throwback to the post-war look of the portable radio. But the look is very much Cath Kidston, unashamedly aimed at the female market.This time the theme is Washed Rose. The 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. It also features a DAB and a little LCD screen on the top for your station information and all your usual presets.

Moreover the PausePlusallows you to put the radio on hold for up to 40 minutes if the phone rings or you just fancy a break from your listening. You can also rewind to the news or to find track details too.

Not cheap at £200($402), but this is how much style is supposed to cost.
