The Roses Apron Top - Wrap stories No. 4 (OS)
A little backstory
The table unner was handmade from cotton thread using traditional filet crochet techniques, creating a pattern of climbing roses, leaves, and geometric openwork.
Its pointed lower edge, finished with small decorative crochet drops, was one of the details that convinced us to keep the textile intact rather than cutting it up.
The original fabric panels and ties were carefully integrated into the new design, allowing the piece to remain light, adjustable, and versatile.
Several damaged sections were repaired (especially the crochet drops) by hand during the making process. These restorations became part of the story of the garment as a reminder that beauty often comes from what has been cared for and continued rather than replaced.
About the Making
Each piece in the From linen collection takes between 6 to 12+ hours* to complete. (Not to mention the days spent thinking about how to give them a new lease of life!)
2–3 hours: washing, spot cleaning, dyeing, and mending
2.5–4 hours: cutting and placement to preserve original details
1.7–3.5 hours: sewing, finishing, and assembling
Every step is done slowly, with attention to the material and its story.
*Hand work and Hand sewing is involved at every stage of the production process.
Where and How It’s Made
Each piece is made either in our own studio or together with our trusted partner family atelier, just a short bike ride away, right here in Amsterdam. Nothing is outsourced. It’s just us, our hands, and a deep respect for the materials we work with.
A Note on Vintage Textiles
All textiles are pre-washed before we begin any transformation process. Because we work with pre-loved vintage fabrics, minor imperfections may be present — part of the story and character of each piece.
Please note: colors may vary slightly from what you see on screen due to natural lighting and different screens. We do our best to show the true feel of the garment. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Reworked vintage pieces are final sale.
