Crafted from 100% French-grown linen, this durable navy apron marries function with understated elegance. The distinctive blue and white band elevates a practical garment to a statement piece—and is designed to remain on display if you choose to wear it as a half apron, which we like to do.

Built for dedicated use in the kitchen, studio, and beyond, each apron features:

• Premium 140g French linen that develops character with age while maintaining its integrity
• Generous double front pockets sized perfectly for tools, utensils, or daily essentials
• Meticulous hand-sewn construction with 100% waxed linen thread used to reinforce stitching at stress points for longevity
• One size with extra long ties - fits all shapes and sizes.

Heritage Materials

Our linen is grown and processed entirely in Normandy and northern France, representing generations of textile expertise. We've selected some of the finest 140g fabric from linen legends Lemaitre Demeestre (operating since the early 19th century) – it has an ideal medium-weight that offers a perfect balance between durability and comfort. This premium weight gives each apron substantial body and elegant drape while remaining light enough for all-day wear.

Unlike lighter alternatives, this medium-weight linen provides excellent protection while developing a beautiful, lived-in character with every wash. The fabric maintains its structure through regular use, becoming increasingly personal to you over time without sacrificing its protective qualities – creating a hardwearing companion that develops a unique patina with every use.

Artisanal Craftsmanship

Each apron is handcrafted in small batches by our partner studio, Mijuin, where skilled artisans transform raw linen into heirloom pieces. Every stage – from precise cutting to final stitching – receives exceptional attention, honouring traditional techniques that celebrate the subtle variations inherent in handmade goods.

We've designed these aprons so that utility meets beauty, creating a premium garment that transitions effortlessly from kitchen to table, studio to gallery – a testament to slow, traditional craftsmanship in today's world.

Built to outlive us all—these aprons connect past to future. Each apron supports traditional flax cultivation while providing you with workwear that improves with time and can be passed down through generations.

100% linen. Can be washed on a normal 30 degree cycle with similar colours.
