Red and green wild strawberry apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A wild strawberry apron dotted with small red berries and green leaves, this piece brings a light, summery pattern into the kitchen. The motif has a slightly wild, hedgerow feel rather than a neat, formal repeat, which gives the apron a playful character.
Each berry and leaf is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, from a design conceived in France. The printer works motif by motif across the cotton, a slow and deliberate process that leaves each apron with its own small, human variations.
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 wild strawberry 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.
Built for real kitchen use, this wild strawberry apron ties at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers real protection while you cook, bake or prepare a batch of jam from the same berries that inspired the print. 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 designed to withstand frequent hot washing, which matters given how often an apron collects flour, oil and the odd stain during a busy cooking session.
Paired with a wild strawberry tea towel or a set of pot holders from the same collection, this red and green apron also makes a cheerful, useful gift for anyone who loves baking with children or friends. 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 wild strawberry apron scatters small red berries and green leaves across the cotton, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a pattern designed in France. The motif has a light, playful character, closer to a summer hedgerow than a formal print, and works well for both everyday cooking and family baking sessions. Cut from sturdy cotton, the apron ties comfortably at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, keeping flour, sauce and oil off your clothes. It stands up well to hot washes, so the berries and their color stay bright over time.
