**My USA shipping will be temporarily suspended 22 Aug-30 Sept 2025. New US customs & tariffs come into force on 29th August 2025, which will inevitably lead to delays and lost parcels for a while - I don't want to lose any of the aprons & bags I've made so I'll wait until the new customs systems 'bed in' before re-starting US shipping. Details are yet to be confirmed but it looks like the tariff on goods from the UK will probably add just over 10% to prices.
ABOUT: The No4:5 is my bestselling design, it just ticks all the boxes! The design originates from a denim cross back apron I designed to wear myself for my own art/craft practice - which I began to sell online. Soon craftspeople asked for custom versions, potters and jewellery makers asked for a split leg skirt and tool loop etc which I added to my range. More recently I improved the design further with adjustable cross back straps. This particular Warm Beige No4:5 apron has a new feature of contrast red connector tabs.
Working in my studio in hilly-leafy South-East London, I make aprons in small batches using cotton canvas, denim or drill - fabrics that are natural, washable and durable. Careful attention to detail, strength of construction and beautiful stitching result in a quality of finish simply not possible in mass production. I cut fabric economically, minimising waste and saving the small remnants to make one-of-a-kind bags for my ‘Boro Collection’.
