Grey red Cornflower Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A grey and red apron carrying a cornflower print, this piece pairs a neutral grey cotton with warm red accents, giving the flowers a grounded, versatile presence. It reads as comfortable rather than showy, well suited to daily use around the stove.
Each cornflower is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, following a pattern drawn in France. The process is entirely manual, block after block, which is part of why no two lengths of fabric look completely identical.
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 grey and red 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 grey and red apron is built for real cooking. It ties at the waist with a long cotton cord, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and gives you a practical shield against splashes of sauce, oil and flour while you work. 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 losing its color or its shape. That resilience matters for a piece meant to accompany years of everyday cooking rather than the occasional special meal.
Combined with a matching tea towel or a set of pot holders from the same cornflower collection, this grey and red apron also makes a practical, good-looking gift for someone who cooks often and appreciates quiet, well-made pieces. 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 grey and red apron takes the cornflower motif and sets it against a soft grey cotton ground, with red tones giving the print extra warmth. Each flower is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, from a design created in France. The combination of grey and red feels grounded and versatile, at home in a rustic kitchen as much as a more modern one. Cut from sturdy cotton, the apron ties at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, offering solid protection while you cook. It handles hot washes well, keeping color and print intact.
