Erik - the apron
Erik - the apron
Simultaneously handsome and practical, this apron is crafted from an upcycled windmill sail from the Middelste Molen in Cabauw.
Produced in a very limited edition of only 14, each apron is unique as a result of the varying weathered patterning on the sturdy canvas during its earlier working life. 3 deep pockets are ready for your gardening, workshop, or BBQ tools. A further nifty, self-closing, secret pocket perfectly sized for your mobile phone is hidden inside one of the bigger pockets.

Adjustable waist tie so you can still wear your big winter gardening jumper
Authorised stencil logo certifies the canvas source
While the range of apron shapes and detailing are the same, each upcycled fabric section is slightly different, so the shading and markings on the canvas of your purchase will likely differ from the one in the photo
Stylish and useful, undoubtedly
Erik is named after Erik Stoop, miller, De Middelste Molen, Cabauw, and an early supporter of the Mill Made initiative. Thank you, Erik
By upcycling this sail, we have saved another piece of otherwise useful textile from unnecessarily going into landfill. Well done you and us
