These are not your grandmother's aprons! Cute, funky, chic - and functional - Domistyle has reinvented the apron with fresh designs and cheeky sayings ("Will Cook for Shoes" is one of my fave's!). Great for shower gifts, bridal party favours, etc.

Who says you have to look like your grandmother in the kitchen? Domistyle aprons are not only functional, but damn fashionable as well. What better way to protect your designer outfit as you host a dinner party then with something equally stylish? And, lets face it, on those days when it's just you working at the stove, it's nice to have something pretty to put on just to please yourself.

Last Christmas, I purchased two Domistyle aprons for ladies that I knew spent an inordinate amount of time in the kitchen - a dear friend who had recently graduated from pastry school and is now an apprentice chocolatier, and my mom, who volunteers in a very public, open kitchen in a residential end-of-life hospice. And both have received a mountain of compliments whenever they wear them, from other pastry chefs and family members of hospice residents alike.

These aprons hold up to both everyday and professional use, and smile, saucily, while doing it. In fact, my mom has asked for two more this Christmas so she can match her outfits with every shift she spends at the hospice!

Yes, they're a little expensive, but worth it for the pretty, no? The current line for women includes nineteen different designs and styles, priced $28 - $55 CDN. Aprons for children also available, with a menswear line to be introduced in the near future. Shipping time, in my experience, has been a mere 48 hours from online order to mailbox.
