Aster Hand-Block Printed Linen Smock Apron
The Aster Apron is a hand-block printed linen smock apron featuring fresh green starbursts and warm ochre dots on a natural ground. Its cross-back design slips easily over the head and arms for a relaxed fit and generous coverage, with no ties to fasten.
A roomy front pocket adds everyday function, while contrast stitching along the wide straps gives the apron a distinctive handmade finish. Each piece is block printed in Jaipur, and subtle variations in color and print are a natural part of the process.

Printed by Hand, Not by Machine
Each quilt begins with hand-carved wooden blocks, shaped by skilled artisans in Jaipur, India. The designs are pressed onto cotton by hand, one layer of color at a time, using traditional dyes and centuries-old techniques. Slight variations are not flaws, but signatures—evidence of the human hand behind every piece. This is slow, deliberate craft, preserved through generations.
