Linen Apron
Linen has that slightly crumpled drape that makes an apron instantly elegant, and a breathability that lets you forget you are wearing it, even for hours. Washed linen, linen and cotton, Japanese style cut crossed at the back or classic bib: this selection brings together linen aprons for the kitchen, the workshop, the shop or the garden, in natural shades that work through every season.
Why choose a linen apron
Linen is a natural, strong and breathable fibre that absorbs moisture without feeling damp. On an apron, it gives a soft drape and a slightly crumpled look that is a big part of its charm. Washed linen is already softened when you buy it, with no stiffness, and becomes even softer wash after wash. Linen and cotton blends add a little more structure and a more affordable price, while keeping the natural look of the fabric.
Japanese style, bib apron or apron dress
Linen works especially well for the Japanese apron, with its straps crossed at the back and no neck tie: the fabric falls straight and leaves your arms free. As a classic bib apron with an adjustable neck strap, it offers more protection while you cook. As an apron dress, the long cut wraps the figure and can be worn almost like a garment, so you can host guests without looking like you are in workwear.
Caring for linen
Wash at 30 or 40 degrees, ideally with similar colours. Linen can come out of the machine creased: iron it while still slightly damp for crisp lines, or leave it as it is for a more natural feel. Avoid a tumble dryer on high heat, which shrinks the fibre.

Frequently asked questions
Linen creases: is that a problem for an apron?
No, it is actually part of its style: the light creasing is part of the natural look of linen. If you prefer crisp lines, ironing the fabric while it is still damp is all it takes. Washed linen is already softened and creases more subtly.
Pure linen or a linen and cotton blend?
Pure linen offers the most pronounced drape and breathability. A linen and cotton blend adds a little more structure, stands up better to frequent washing and often costs less. For heavy use in the kitchen, the blend is a good compromise.
How do you wash a linen apron?
Machine wash at 30 or 40 degrees, and avoid a tumble dryer on high heat. Dry it flat or on a hanger and iron it slightly damp if you want a smooth finish. It handles regular washing very well.
