Description
This recycled cotton kitchen apron carries the Wild Flowers print, a cheerful spread of meadow blooms set out like the pages of an old botanical field guide. Red poppies, pink foxgloves, blue cornflowers, tiny forget-me-nots and yellow cowslips sit across an off-white ground, each one labelled in neat botanical Latin, from Papaver rhoeas to Digitalis purpurea. The neck strap and long waist ties are a bright teal that sets off the greens of the stems. It measures 65cm across and 78cm long, giving generous cover over your clothes while you cook.
It belongs in the kitchen, where flour, batter and splashes from the hob are all part of the day. Wear it for a weekend bake, a big Sunday roast or simply the washing up, and the busy print is forgiving of the odd mark between washes. Made from 100% cotton, it feels soft rather than stiff, and at just 158g it is light enough to forget you are wearing it. Hang it on a hook on the back of the kitchen door and it brings a little colour to the room even when it is not in use. It also makes an easy, welcome gift.
The fabric is made from recycled cotton, and the neck strap threads through a small metal ring at one side. It is machine washable at 30°C only. Do not bleach, iron or tumble dry it. Instead, shake it out and let it dry naturally on a line or airer to keep the print looking its best. It arrives rolled in a fully recyclable cardboard tube wrapped in the same wild flowers, so it is ready to give with no wrapping paper needed. Add a ribbon and a handwritten tag, or tuck a packet of flower seeds into the top of the tube for a gift with a little more to open.
