I am totally apron obsessed. I love wearing one to cook, clean and make art. I need a sturdy apron that doesn’t make me look house-wifey and frumpy but rather like a boss who means business. A sexy, chic boss!

Heldey and Bennett have me covered. Chic, clean and bad ass? Check, check, check.

ABOUT:  Each product is handmade in Los Angeles from from start to finish using top grade materials such as American canvas, raw Japanese selvage denim and European linens.

For less than $100 you can get a sturdy, classic apron (in various lengths) made from the best materials. The best part is, my kids have matching aprons that they like to wear just because they make them feel cool. It also motivates them to get working with me in the kitchen. A win win!
