htaccess - redirect not working as expected?

I need to setup a couple of redirects on my website. My htaccess file is currently:

RewriteEngine on
RedirectMatch 301 ^/browse/ http://www.mysite.co.uk/designs
Redirect /designs http://www.mysite.co.uk/our-designs

Redirect #1 - I need to redirect all old urls that used to be www.mysite.co.uk/browse/.... to www.mysite.co.uk/designs/.... (designs folder replaces browse folder)

an example being:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/browse/home/kitchens

needs to go too:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/designs/home/kitchens

Redirect #2 - now the second redirect is causing problems. I need to redirect just the page:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/designs

to:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/our-designs

So i use:

Redirect /designs http://www.mysite.co.uk/our-designs

This redirects the /designs page to our-designs page correctly but now also changes any url with /designs/ in so from the example above

http://www.mysite.co.uk/designs/home/kitchens

should stay as it is but it changes to:

http://www.mysite.co.uk/our-designs/home/kitchens

which gives me a page not found

Change order of your rules and add a query parameter to prevent further redirection:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^_noredir(&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^designs/(.*)$ /our-designs/$1 [R=301,L,NC,NE]

RewriteRule ^browse/(.*)$ /designs/$1?_noredir [R=301,L,NE,NC,QSA]

Use the following rules:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^browse/(.+)$ /designs/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^designs/?$ /our-designs [R=301,L]

You can put the http://www.mysite.co.uk as a host to rewritten URLs if the hosts are different.
