Adjustable cross back straps ensure a perfect fit whether that’s snug or easy-fit, made from ecru cotton they have decorative lines of black dots along the length. Finally there’s a good size bib pocket and two skirt pockets to stow tools and phone. Meticulously designed, skillfully sewn, made-to-last, this apron is highly specialised craftsperson’s workwear.

ABOUT: 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’.
