Apron Appeal

Who says kitchen accessories have to be dull or homely? Infuse your daily kitchen routine with a whimsical apron from the ever-so-British design gurus at Lush Designs. —

The brilliant Brits at Lush have emblazoned their signature scenes of fanciful foxes, vibrant veggies – and much more – across everything from chic kitchen gear to sturdy tote bags.

We’re loving the intricate – and decidedly fun – Fox & Cubs apron! Cook up gourmet meals in true European style, while keeping your clothes smudge free. With an apron this stylish, you may be tempted to keep it on even after the dishes are done.
