Citrus green Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A citrus green apron built on the same fruit-inspired motif as its blue counterpart, this version uses warmer green tones to give the pattern a fresh, garden-like quality. The citrus shapes feel closer to a grove than a coastal scene, with a lively, natural energy.
Each motif is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, following a design drawn in France. The printer repeats the same steady gesture across the cotton, pressing each block firmly so the citrus shapes stay crisp and well defined.
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 citrus green 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 practical kitchen piece, this citrus green apron ties at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers genuine protection while you cook, bake or prepare citrus preserves during the 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 sturdy and made to withstand frequent hot washing without fading, an essential quality for an apron meant for daily use rather than occasional wear.
Combined with a matching citrus tea towel from the same collection, this green apron also makes a fresh, generous gift for someone who loves cooking with citrus fruit throughout the year. 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 citrus green apron takes the same citrus motif as its blue counterpart and sets it in warmer green tones across sturdy cotton, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a design created in France. The green palette gives the fruit pattern a fresh, garden-like quality, closer to a citrus grove than a coastal scene. The apron ties comfortably at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, protecting your clothes while you cook or bake. It stands up well to hot washes, keeping the citrus print and its green tones bright over time.
