Kokki apron, 95 x 75 cm, linen - white - cloudberry

Lapuan Kankurit's Kokki linen apron features a modern checked pattern designed by Elina Helenius, inspired by the traditional checks often seen in kitchen textiles. What sets Kokki apart from its predecessors is its jacquard-woven pattern, created with a double-layer structure on a single-colour warp. In practice, this means the pattern appears on both sides of the fabric in different shades, so you can wear the waist-tied apron either way around.

Named after the Finnish word for "cook", the Kokki collection's kitchen textiles are woven from washed European linen, known for its naturally relaxed, crinkled texture and excellent absorbency. The collection is woven at Lapuan Kankurit's own weaving mill in Finland; the company name translates as "Weavers of Lapua."
