I'm a little obsessed with aprons. I use them for cooking, cleaning, crafting...you name it. Anything that can get you messy or that you need some immediate pockets on is a perfect situation for an apron.
Tara Imrie at Vanity Salon...Real Life Apron Wearer!
Of course the OG reason to create aprons was cooking. I made some ice dyed aprons from 100% cotton and Dharma dyes for friends and then eventually to offer for sale, but I never really thought of them beyond that. Then one day, my wonderful friend and Saratoga Springs salon owner Tara Imrie said she would love to try one of them. She is a master colorist so is always ensconced in dyes and other beauty elixirs. I was worried because I knew she would need to sanitize, dry the crap out of them on high heat etc to keep them up to par. I was psyched though when she told me that she only uses my aprons now because of the mix of function and form. They hold up to the salon regiment and keep her looking funky. She started with a few of my Traditional aprons and then most recently is trying out the stylin' Frilly aprons which are perfect for her style and personality.
Our Aprons in Action! Tara uses our Traditional and Frilly Aprons in her Vanity Salon. Seek her out, she is amazing at what she does! Cuts, color, smoothing, you name it and she can do it!
Our Repertoire of Aprons...Something for Everyone!
So what about our other aprons? We have the Shortie waist apron which is perfect for restaurant servers, vendors, tailors...you name it. The Not As Short Shortie waist apron is just a little longer for when you may need deeper pockets for gardening or crafting. The Frilly is just plain fun in a vintage "Alice in Wonderland" way. Could even work for kids! And our latest...the Baker's apron which is more like a smock. Doesn't have any ties, just crisscrosses in the back.
The Shortie, Not So Short Shortie, and the Baker's
I do want to throw a shout out to the Traditional apron...it is tried and true...and not just for cooks in kitchen! Outside at the grill or smoker, you can keep your thermometer, spatula, gloves and probably a beverage in the pockets. And don't worry about the splatter of grease flying off the sizzling yumminess...we've got you covered....literally.
The options are endless. Come check out our aprons at our next event. Keep your look tight, unique and clean with just enough personality to say "I embrace the power of the apron, and it embraces me"
