Green and red garden apron

42,00  VAT INCLUDED

A garden print apron in green and red, this piece brings together several small motifs, leaves and flowers into one full, layered pattern that feels closer to a lively garden than a single repeating print. It suits a kitchen that already leans toward color and pattern.

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. Printing a busy motif like this one requires precision, since several elements must line up cleanly across the length of cotton.

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 garden 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.

As a working piece, this garden print 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 going at once. 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 that will see plenty of use in a kitchen that entertains often. Color and pattern hold steady over time.

Combined with a matching tea towel from the same garden collection, this green and red apron also makes a lively, generous gift for someone who loves a full, colorful table. 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 garden print apron gathers a mix of leaves, flowers and small motifs across a green and red cotton, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a design created in France. The pattern has a full, layered quality, closer to a lively summer garden than a single repeating motif. Cut from sturdy cotton, the apron ties comfortably at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, protecting your clothes while you cook, bake or entertain in the kitchen. It handles hot washes well, keeping the garden print and its colors crisp through years of use.
