Green Red Renoncule Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A green and red apron with a scattering of hand-printed buttercup flowers, this piece leans into a warmer palette than its grey counterpart, with red petals set against a rich green background. The print feels lively and full, the kind of pattern that suits a kitchen where several people cook, taste and talk at once.
Every flower is stamped by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, from a design conceived in France. The process is slow by nature: each block is dipped, positioned and pressed by hand, one motif after another, so no two lengths of fabric are ever perfectly 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 green 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.
As a working piece, this green and red apron is built to be used. It ties comfortably at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and gives you a real barrier against splashes while you cook, bake or simmer a sauce for longer than planned. 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 enough to take repeated hot washing without losing its shape or its color, an important quality for a garment that is meant to see flour, oil and the occasional spill. It softens slightly with wear while keeping its print sharp.
Worn on its own or paired with a tea towel from the same collection, this green and red apron also makes a generous, useful gift for someone who spends real time at the stove. 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 green and red apron takes the same buttercup motif as its sister piece and turns it into something warmer, with red flowers set against a leafy green ground. Each one is printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a pattern drawn in France. The colors sit close together on the cotton, giving the apron a lively, garden-like feel that works well in a kitchen full of color and activity. It ties at the waist, covers the chest and thighs, and is cut from a sturdy cotton that stands up to hot washes and daily cooking, wash after wash.
