Green yellow Olive tree apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
An olive tree apron in green and yellow tones, this piece brings a Mediterranean feel into the kitchen through a print of slender branches and small rounded leaves. The pattern is understated rather than bold, closer to the quiet rhythm of an olive grove than a busy graphic motif.
Each branch is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, from a design created in France. The block printer works leaf by leaf and branch by branch, pressing the pattern onto the cotton with the same repeated gesture that has shaped this craft for generations.
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 olive tree 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.
As a piece to actually wear, this olive tree apron ties at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers a real barrier against oil, sauce and flour while you cook. The fit is generous enough to move freely between the stove and the counter. 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 stands up well to hot washing, an important detail for an apron meant to see daily use rather than stay decorative. Color and print hold steady wash after wash.
Paired with an olive tree tea towel or a set of pot holders from the same collection, this green and yellow apron also makes a quietly elegant gift for anyone drawn to the flavors and colors of the South. 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 olive tree apron sets slender branches and small leaves against a green and yellow cotton ground, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a design drawn in France. The motif has a quiet, Mediterranean character, evoking sunlit groves rather than a busy kitchen print. Made from sturdy cotton, the apron ties comfortably at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, protecting your clothes as you cook, bake or prepare a long simmering sauce. It handles hot washes well, so the olive branches and their color stay clear through repeated use.
