How it Started

Kate liked to find unique gifts for birthdays and Christmas but found what she was looking for didn’t exist. So Kate started to make handmade gifts, and consequently, coasters became her ‘thing’.

Kate became more experimental with her art and materials, and that ultimately led her to marble. Coasters were now her go-to gift, and people loved them!

Kate then began attending local craft fairs which gave her the boost to push further. Kate ultimately applied for a stall in Covent Garden, within the year she had a regular spot in the famous Apple Market where Kate of Kensington still trades today!

Over the past few years, Kate and her team have added different sizes and designs to the mix.

FAQs - Kate of Kensington

ARE THE BOARDS/PLATTERS/COASTERS HEAT-PROOF?

Yes! All of our marble products are sealed in a heat-resistant sealant and can be used as pot stands, serving trays, coasters and for displaying hot food..

WILL THEY DAMAGE MY SURFACE?

Handled with care, no. The coasters, medium and sharing sized platters are backed with rubber bumper feet and the large sized platters are backed with cork.

ARE THEY STAIN-PROOF?

Our boards are resistant to heat but sadly not stains, like with most other serving products, if heavy staining products such as tea bags, red wine, red sauces, turmeric (spices) etc. are left on for a period of time they may cause staining. Providing spills are wiped up in a reasonable time frame – they will not cause a lasting stain.

WHAT CAN I USE MY PLATTER FOR?

Our products are very multi purpose with a variety of different uses. A few ideas of how to use your platter are; cheese boards, serving trays, displays, pot stands, cake stands, place mats, candle stands, coasters, food platters and display items – the possibilities are endless!

WILL THEY MARK OR DISCOLOUR?

You may use light knife work on the boards, but as with any other product over a period of time there may be marks from cutting.

Putting your platter in direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause discolouring or changes to the marble.

Wiping them with harsh chemicals not properly cleaned off may cause marks on the marble.

A smoking environment may cause discolouring to the marble.

WILL THEY BREAK?

The platters are not break-proof! If they are dropped or handled without care they could break, but as they are made from marble they are hard wearing.

CORNERS MISSING, DIVOTS, VEINS?

All of our marble products are handmade not factory produced, using whole natural pieces of stone. As a natural product, marble has veins (lines) divots and is not perfectly square. This is part of its natural charm and we pride ourselves in creating our products this way.

CORNERS - The shape of the platter may vary sometimes with rustic corners and different textured edges. It is a natural piece of stone.
DIVOTS / SURFACE - The surface of the platter can vary, some may have divots. The surface is not always completely smooth after the sealant is on due to the nature of the product.
VEINS - As marble is a natural piece of stone its finish can vary, they may have veins across the marble that sometimes are grey/black and look like lines. Sometimes the colour can be pink/cream and look like ‘cracks’ but they are actually veins and do not interfere with the products usage.
