Citrus blue Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A citrus blue apron built around a fresh, fruit-inspired motif, this piece prints citrus shapes and leaves in cool blue tones across sturdy cotton. The palette gives the pattern a light, almost coastal feel, well suited to a bright, airy kitchen.
Each citrus motif is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, from a design conceived in France. The printer presses the block firmly and evenly onto the cotton, motif by motif, keeping the citrus shapes crisp and well defined.
Couleur Nature has worked with block printing for more than thirty years, linking a design studio in France with artisan workshops in India where the technique has been practiced for generations. Every wooden block used for this citrus blue apron is carved by hand before it ever touches a length of cotton, and no two printers press it in quite the same way. That small human variation is part of what separates a hand block-printed apron from anything produced by machine, and it is exactly what the brand has built its reputation on since the beginning.
This citrus blue apron is designed for genuine kitchen use. It ties at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers real protection while you cook, bake or prepare a citrus tart during the winter months when citrus fruit is at its best. The apron sits comfortably over everyday clothes, whether you are standing at the stove for a quick weeknight dinner or spending a whole afternoon on a more ambitious recipe.
The cotton is sturdy and made to withstand frequent hot washing without fading, an important quality for a piece that will see flour, oil and citrus juice on a regular basis.
Paired with a matching citrus tea towel from the same collection, this blue apron also makes a fresh, cheerful gift for someone who loves cooking with citrus fruit. It is a small, practical way to bring craftsmanship into a daily routine, rather than keeping it for special occasions only.

Care
General care instructions for artisan-printed cotton table linen:
- Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C maximum, on a gentle cycle, to help preserve the colours.
- Do not use bleach or whitening products.
- Avoid fabric softener, as it may dull the colours over time.
- Iron on the reverse side of the fabric at a moderate temperature (cotton/wool setting) to preserve the vibrancy of the print.
- Air dry preferably in the shade; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause the colours to fade.

The blue palette gives the fruit motif a fresh, almost coastal feel, well suited to a bright kitchen with plenty of natural light.
