Red grey Garden Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A red grey apron carrying a garden print, this piece pairs a muted grey cotton with warm red accents, giving the layered floral motif a grounded, versatile presence. It works well in a kitchen that favors calm, neutral tones with a touch of color.
Each element of the design is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, following a pattern drawn in France. The garden motif involves several small shapes printed in sequence, a process that requires patience and a steady hand.
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 red grey 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 functional kitchen piece, this red grey apron ties at the waist with a long cord, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and gives real protection while you cook, bake or prepare a meal with several dishes in progress. 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 quality for an apron meant to be used often rather than kept for special occasions. Color and pattern hold their own over time.
Combined with a matching tea towel from the same garden collection, this red grey apron also makes a versatile, practical gift for someone who cooks often and prefers understated color. 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 red grey apron takes the garden motif and sets it against a muted grey cotton with red accents, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a design created in France. The combination feels grounded and versatile, at home in both a rustic kitchen and a more contemporary one. Cut from sturdy cotton, the apron ties comfortably at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, offering solid protection while you cook or bake.
