The modern homesteader’s uniform.
Put your best old-school homestead vibes forward with this striped cotton half apron, dyed in a range of dreamy hues. The extra-large, divided front pocket is at the ready to house your recipe cards, wooden spoons, and any other right-hand kitchen tools you might need on your way to dinner, and the wide cotton twill straps keep everything securely tied at the waist.

Meet the Maker
Amana Woolen Mill
Amana, IA
Founded in 1855, Amana began as a small German community seeking religious freedom in the Iowa River Valley. They aimed to live simply and sustainably—to share with one another and produce everything they needed themselves. Although the communal lifestyle disbanded in the 1930s, the craftsmanship and tight-knit community is still apparent in the high quality products Amana produces today, 160 years later.

Beautiful, high quality apron
I bought this as a gift, but love it so much I desperately want to keep it for myself. The colors are beautiful, the fabric is thick and sturdy, and the size allows for full-coverage. Absolutely love it!
