yellow green Cornflower apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A yellow green apron built around a field of cornflowers, printed in blue tones against a warm yellow ground. The pattern reads like a small patch of summer meadow, carried onto cotton by hand and made to be worn while you cook.
Each cornflower is stamped individually with a carved wooden block, in a partner workshop in India, following a pattern designed in France. Craftspeople press the block into the fabric motif by motif, a technique that gives every apron its own small, human irregularities.
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 yellow green 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.
Made for daily use, this yellow green apron ties at the waist with a long cord and covers the chest and the top of the legs. It sits well while you move between the stove, the counter and the sink, and it catches splashes before they reach your clothes. 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 thick and hard-wearing, designed to go through hot washes again and again without fading or losing its shape. That durability matters for a piece that is meant to be used often, not kept on a hook for special occasions only.
Whether it accompanies weekday cooking or a weekend spent baking with children, this yellow green apron also makes a warm, practical gift, especially alongside a matching tea towel from the same cornflower collection. 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.

This yellow green apron brings together cornflowers and a bright, sunny ground, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a design drawn in France. The contrast between the yellow background and the blue-toned cornflowers gives the piece an energetic feel, closer to a summer garden than a formal print. Cut from sturdy cotton, the apron ties at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, offering real protection while you cook, bake or prepare a meal for the whole table. It handles hot washes well, keeping its color and its print crisp over many uses.
