Red Green Fruit Apron
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A red green fruit apron built on the same orchard-inspired motif as its yellow counterpart, this version uses a richer red and green palette to give the pattern more depth and contrast. The fruit shapes stand out clearly against the darker background.
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 fruit shapes remain 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 red green fruit 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 red green fruit apron ties at the waist, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers genuine protection while you cook, bake or prepare a meal that involves more chopping than usual. 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, a necessary quality for an apron meant for daily use rather than occasional wear. Color and print hold up well over time.
Combined with a matching tea towel from the same fruit collection, this red green apron also makes a warm, generous gift for someone who loves cooking with fresh produce 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 red green fruit apron takes the same fruit motif as its yellow counterpart and sets it against a richer red and green cotton ground, printed by hand with a carved wooden block in an artisan workshop in India, from a design created in France. The deeper palette gives the pattern more warmth and contrast, well suited to a kitchen with darker wood or tiled surfaces. Cut from sturdy cotton, the apron ties at the waist and covers the chest and thighs, offering solid protection while you cook or bake. It handles hot washes well, keeping the fruit print vivid.
