Our recent survey was amazing, overwhelming with information, feedback and customer desires. We are still processing the responses. One thing that glaringly stood out was that our men customers felt ignored. Yes, we had a men’s collection, it has plodded along nicely, but we learned that, in no uncertain terms, we were not stepping up….
There are so many limitations to being in business. When we enthusiastically introduce a new apron, obviously, it needs to be available to the customer base. It means suppliers are in place with ongoing fabric deliveries, it is a proven design that the customers like and patterns have been made for production. But sometimes, as…
It’s been on our list for awhile to create a Chef Apron for Women, in a cut that is specific to them. Chef Aprons are traditionally a flat cut out shape that wraps around the body held in place by neck ties and waist ties. It’s a challenge to design a Classic Chef Apron for…
Whenever we come up with a new Apron Design, like the Terrycloth Apron, we hope it sells, of course, but more importantly, we hope it finds its way into the arms of our customer’s everyday lives, helping them work, and making their day easier. After all, Aprons are the layer of clothing that relate to…
Our Hippy Apron is a favorite for us and it’s time has come to blossom, by morphing into another version of itself, what we will title the Hippy Dress. Our customers have requested a dress version for a long time and finally we could oblige. First, morphing a Hippy Apron design into a Hippy Dress…
Introducing the Terry Cloth Apron. We hear over and over again the request for waterproof aprons. In the past, we have tried plastic gingham aprons and although they are waterproof, they were not a big seller. They weren’t particularly pretty. I don’t think you can move well in them. They served the purpose but only…
We love developing new apron designs. We come up with an idea, try it out by letting it go out to the customers, then we sit back and wait and see. When customers let us know they like it and it suits their needs, we add it to the permanent collection. As time passes, if…
It’s been lovely to sell soft drapey aprons to people who want to work and feel comfortable all day. Our aprons flow gently around you, move as you do and lay softly against you allowing you the ease of your day. They accompany you as you work, accenting your clothes in a way that helps…
The title sounds like a proper name for a blog or new design company. It isn’ t, although I now I am tempted to set off on a new venture based on this exquisite name. I digress. The real subject here is linen colors. We have added both Olive and Charcoal Grey. Time tested, beloved…
Our Gathered Bib Apron has a bodice that gathers on a drawstring. It ties behind the neck. The option of a gathered bodice is great for a variety of body shapes. No matter your size, the bodice adjusts to you and covers you. With a wide waistband that that holds the apron in place, it…
Moving to the next apron design is driven by a number of factors. Oh sure there is pure organic inspiration. Although this is typically my favorite method, it can bring remarks from coworkers of “Seriously?” “You are kidding right?” I remain undaunted amongst them as there are other times when coworkers response with “Wow, why…
Aprons are essentially work clothes. Their job is not only to keep you clean but to help you do your job. They should carry your things in such a way as to not impede your ability to act. Not sure what I mean? Take our first Drawstring Gathering Apron. We were thrilled to make it…
