Tattered Apron is a small, evolving body of work built around domestic objects, symbolism, and the quiet rituals of everyday life.

Fabric, buttons, charms, paper, tools, the kinds of things that pass through our hands without much ceremony, are treated here as carriers of meaning. Useful objects, made slowly, often imperfectly, and with intention.

The work plays with ideas of home, labour, care, repetition, and inheritance. Of the domestic world as both practical and poetic. Of the kitchen, the workbench, and the back room as places where stories are shaped as much as meals or goods.

Tattered Apron grew out of The Oldest Recipe in the Book, a cookbook rooted in narrative, retro inspired food, and parody surrounding domestic roles. That same sensibility runs through everything here: making as a form of storytelling, and objects as witnesses to the lives built around them.

Alongside the shop sits Diaries of a Tattered Apron: a record of building this work in real time. Notes, missteps, ideas in progress. Less a polished brand journal, more the scribbled margin.

This space will change as new collections and objects emerge. For now, it’s a place for small runs, symbolic pieces, and useful things with a bit of a backstory.

Made carefully. Occasionally chaotic. Always with intent.
