Colorful Aprons for the Holidays

October 21, 2013

Make this Holiday season extra special by wearing a colorful Mexican-themed Apron! Let's face it; prepping all the Holiday food and hours of baking can actually be exhausting so why not have some fun while you're doing it this year? You'll be the talk of the kitchen while sporting one of our Day of the Dead or Frida Kahlo apron designs.

"Aprons are essentially a practical item, used to protect ones clothing from daily chores. In years past it was especially important as clothing was not as plentiful and washing was a chore. Over the years we have embellished them, making them both practical and beautiful. Lace, trim, rick-rack, ruffles, bows, pockets, and ribbon have been added.

No one knows when aprons were "invented". I am sure they just came to "be" when someone wrapped a square of cloth around their waist to protect their clothing. From there aprons have evolved into a dozen different shapes and styles. Aprons in the last two centuries have come to be associated with women and "woman's work", but aprons are not exclusively woman's wear. Many men have worn aprons in years past as they too needed to protect their clothing from the grime of work." ~ Apron History

Each Mexican Kitchen Apron is made of 100% cotton and bright dyes. You'll find the unique designs to be festive and they'll certainly assist in keeping your clothes clean. The front of your new apron features a double-pocket and decorative ruffles.
