Tutti Frutti apron yellow red
42,00 € VAT INCLUDED
A tutti frutti apron in yellow and red, this piece brings together several small fruit motifs into one bright, generous pattern. The mix of shapes and colors gives the apron a playful, abundant feel, closer to a summer fruit stall than a single repeating print.
Each motif is printed by hand with a carved wooden block, in an artisan workshop in India, following a design drawn in France. Printing a mixed pattern like this one takes patience, since several different blocks must be used in sequence to build up the full design.
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 tutti frutti 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 kitchen piece, this tutti frutti apron ties at the waist with a long cord, covers the chest and the top of the legs, and offers real protection while you cook, bake or prepare a fruit-filled dessert for the whole family. 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 without fading, an important quality for a piece meant to be used regularly rather than kept for rare occasions.
Combined with a matching tea towel from the same tutti frutti collection, this yellow and red apron also makes a cheerful, generous gift for anyone who loves color, fruit and cooking with children. 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.
