ABOUT: This workshop apron is an update of a design collaboration with a woodworker some years ago. Elements have been simplified and wide cross back straps added. It's still quite a complex construction that takes all day to make.

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’.
