Apron blackberry beige red

42,00  VAT INCLUDED

A blackberry print apron built on a warm beige cotton, this piece uses clusters of deep red berries to bring a rustic, orchard-like character into the kitchen. The muted background lets the fruit motif stand out clearly without feeling overly bold.

Each cluster of berries 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, a slow process that gives the fabric its handmade texture.

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 blackberry 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 blackberry print apron is designed for genuine kitchen use. It ties comfortably at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and gives real protection while you cook, bake or prepare preserves during blackberry season. 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, made to withstand repeated hot washing without losing its color or shape, a necessary quality for a piece that will see flour, oil and stains on a regular basis.

Paired with a blackberry-printed tea towel or a set of pot holders from the same collection, this beige and red apron also makes a warm, thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys cooking with seasonal 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.

This blackberry print apron dresses a warm beige cotton with clusters of berries in deep red, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a design drawn in France. The soft beige background gives the fruit motif a rustic, orchard-like feel, well suited to a kitchen that leans toward warm, natural tones. Made from sturdy cotton, the apron ties comfortably at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, keeping sauce, oil and flour off your clothes while you cook. It handles hot washes well, so the blackberry print stays crisp through frequent use.
