Citrine Fig Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A fig print apron built on a citrine yellow cotton, this piece uses clusters of figs to bring warmth and a sense of late summer into an everyday kitchen tool. The yellow ground makes the fruit motif stand out clearly, giving the apron a cheerful, unmistakable presence.
Each fig is printed by hand using a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, from a design conceived in France. The printer works motif by motif, dipping the block in dye and pressing it firmly onto the cotton, a repeated, careful gesture that gives the fabric its slightly irregular, handmade character.
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 fig print 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 fig print apron is designed to be worn, not simply admired. It ties comfortably at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers real coverage while you chop, stir, bake or reduce a sauce that likes to spatter. 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 sturdy, chosen to withstand frequent hot washing without fading. That resilience matters for a piece that is meant to accompany daily cooking rather than stay folded in a drawer.
Combined with a fig-printed tea towel or a set of pot holders from the same collection, this citrine yellow apron also makes a generous gift for anyone who loves to cook, preserve fruit or simply spend time near the stove. 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.
