Classic utility, thoughtfully reimagined.
Inspired by classic European utility textiles, the Harbor Stripe Crossback Apron features yarn-dyed blue and espresso stripes woven directly into the fabric rather than printed on the surface. The result is a textile with beautiful depth, subtle texture, and timeless character that only becomes softer with every wash.
Designed for long days in the kitchen, garden, studio, or workshop, the crossback silhouette slips comfortably over your shoulders, eliminating the pull on your neck that traditional apron ties can create. The relaxed, one-size-fits-most design offers generous coverage while allowing plenty of freedom to move.
Two roomy front hip pockets keep everyday essentials close at hand, while a durable cotton webbing utility loop on the right side is perfect for hanging a kitchen towel, garden gloves, or your favorite pair of shears.
Each apron is thoughtfully sewn in small batches in my Midcoast Maine studio. Made to be worn, washed, repaired, and passed along, it's an everyday piece designed to last for years.

Inspired by the simplicity and practicality of traditional Japanese workwear, the Amphitrite Crossback Apron is designed for slow mornings, busy kitchens, flourishing gardens, and creative days in the studio.
Its effortless over-the-head design slips on with ease, while extra wide straps cross comfortably in the back and naturally adjust to your body for a relaxed, flattering fit.
Crafted from substantial 8 oz 100% linen, this apron balances beauty and utility. Breathable, durable, and quick drying, linen stands up to years of cooking, creating, and everyday wear while becoming softer with every wash.

Handmade in Maine
A simple, hardworking apron with a gentle side.
Crafted from a limited run of linen that is like your favorite vintage menswear dress shirt, this café apron is sewn in small batches and designed for everyday use. It’s just as at home whether you're gathering herbs from the garden, baking bread on a rainy afternoon, or moving through a busy market day.
Made from 100% linen in a medium-light 4-5 oz weight, it offers the easy drape and breathability linen is loved for, while remaining durable enough for regular wear. The double pocket keeps essentials close at hand, and the extra-long waist ties allow for comfortable styling and an adjustable fit.
Like all natural linen, this fabric will continue to soften beautifully with use and washing.
Because this fabric was sourced as dead stock yardage, quantities are extremely limited and will not be reproduced once sold out.

The Spa Hats are awesome! The right amount of fabric to hang to the back of the head! I have long hair and it holds it all inside. The band is perfect too. Not too tight but, truly just right.

Love, love, love every item I’ve purchased. Quality and craftsmanship are top notch. Have about six kitchen towels, a linen apron, and a couple of waffle towels. Just placed an order for more waffle towels. Super absorbent and fast drying. Cross back apron next on list. Thank you for such excellent quality and craftsmanship!

This is not my first purchase and certainly won’t be my last. The waffle towels are far superior to any towel I have ever purchased. The quality and weight of the fabric is perfect and the workmanship and attention to detail a cut above the rest. A five star experience from start to finish!

This is the second apron I have ordered and I don't know which one I love more. (Rose and Graphite) The quality is exceptional and it is lovely to receive a handwritten note with your purchase. Just put myself on a waitlist for Blueberry! If you have your eyes of one of these, buy it - you will love it!

They are beautiful in person, the color and richness in the fabric. I gave these as a gift,, as my mothers plastic covers were falling apart. It's always a great feeling to give a gift of great quality that you know is well made and will last. Shipping was fast which helped with my last minute shopping.

I always wanted a crossback apron from Katrina… The linen is soft and vibrant in color. I've already made 2 loaves of bread, a batch of cookies, and some blueberry muffins. The apron is very comfortable, sits lightly on my shoulders, and so comfy that I forget I'm wearing it! … This apron deserves a hook in the kitchen where it can be seen and I wish I had bought it sooner.

My favorite piece (so far). This apron is a delight with just enough flow to to be perfectly comfortable, and sits perfectly over the shoulders. Great pocket in front. The goldenrod color is cheerful and gorgeous.
