Red Green Fig Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A red green fig apron built on a deep, warm palette, this piece scatters clusters of figs across cotton dyed in rich red and green tones. The colors give the fruit motif a late-summer feel, evoking the season when figs are ready to pick and preserve.
Each fig is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, from a design conceived in France. The printer presses the block firmly onto the cotton, motif by motif, a slow process that leaves each apron with its own small, handmade 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 red green fig 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.
This red green fig apron is designed for genuine kitchen use. It ties at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers solid protection while you cook, bake or prepare fig jam during the harvest 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 thick and sturdy, made to withstand frequent hot washing without losing its color or shape, an essential quality for a piece that will see flour, oil and fruit stains on a regular basis.
Paired with a matching tea towel or a set of pot holders from the same fig collection, this red and green apron also makes a warm, seasonal gift for anyone who loves cooking with fruit. 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.
