Animal Crossing: Cath Kidston prints are now available to use on the bestselling Nintendo Switch game
Since its worldwide release on March 20 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons quickly became one of the fastest selling games of all time on Nintendo Switch, as well as establishing itself as the bestselling game of its series.
The social simulation game, which sees players decorate and develop their very own deserted island into a thriving community filled with fun characters and special events, has been a great way to escape during lockdown and socialise with friends and family.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons also includes a feature called Custom Designs, which allows players to create their own patterns to personalise clothing, furnishings and outdoor floor patterns. Other players can download these patterns to their own game via a QR code, a Creator ID, or a Design ID.

Luxury fashion labels such as Marc Jacobs and Valentino have already contributed designs for gamers to become true fashionistas.
Now there’s even more choice to personalise in-game clothes and furnishings, as British lifestyle and design brand Cath Kidston has launched its own unique designs on Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Cath Kidston is well known for designing cute and cosy prints, so it’s only fitting that these three new prints be shared with the Animal Crossing world. The prints are inspired by British icons, vintage interiors and nostalgic childhood memories, so there’s someone for everyone.
The Strawberry Gingham print was inspired by childhood memories of a favourite pinafore dress that Cath used to wear as a little girl. The custom design combines juicy strawberries and delicate flowers with pastel gingham, so is ideal for creating a vintage-style summer dress, outdoor picnic blanket or table cloth.

Button Rose is a definitive Cath Kidston floral that has been a part of the collection right from the beginning. Originally inspired by a roll of wallpaper at a vintage market, this print is a timeless homewares classic.
Gamers can use this custom design on anything from table cloths to cushions and bed covers if they want to inject a Cath Kidston classic into their Animal Crossing homes.
