The Walking Apron Story

Welcome to Walking Apron, where we're all about helping you do what you love without worrying about the mess. Whether you're elbow-deep in clay, up to your elbows in garden soil, or splattered with paint, we've got your back (and front, and sides) covered.

Follow us @walkingapronΒ for full coverage of what we're up to!


So, How'd We Get Here?

It all started when our founder, Hannah Rose, was hanging out with a bunch of super talented potters during a residency at STARworks NC back in 2017. She noticed these amazing artists struggling with aprons that just weren't cutting it. And she thought, "Hey, these folks deserve better."

That's when the lightbulb went off. Why not create an apron that actually works for makers? Something comfortable, durable, and hey, maybe even a little stylish? And just like that, Walking Apron was born.

What Makes Our Aprons Special?

Well, for starters, they're made by someone who gets it. Hannah's background in apparel design means these aprons are crafted with the same care you put into your own work. We're talking:

  • An innovative split-leg design and fit that moves with you, not against you. It has legs!
  • Custom-made fabric that can handle whatever you throw at it (or spill on it)
  • Tons of features for comfort and convenience like pockets deep enough for all your tools, cross-strap design to keep your neck ache-free, and machine washability for easy upkeep!

Over 10,000 makers have given our aprons a spin, and they're pretty happy. But don't take our word for it - give one a try and see for yourself!

We're All In This Together

When you grab a Walking Apron, you're not just getting a pretty great apron (if we do say so ourselves). You're joining a whole community of makers who are out there creating cool stuff every day. From our little workshop in Troy, North Carolina, to wherever you are, we're all connected by the joy of making things with our hands.

Ready to Get Messy?

Imagine walking into your creative space, putting on your apron, and feeling ready to tackle whatever project you've got in mind. No stress about ruining your favorite shirt. No fiddling with an uncomfortable apron. Just you, your creativity, and a trusty Walking Apron.

So what do you say? Ready to make some beautiful messes together?

Check out our aprons and see if there's one that speaks to you. Because let's face it, creativity is messy business - and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Note from Hannah

Hey! I'm Hannah, the gal who stitches up your Walking Aprons. I'm originally a New York kid who found her happy place in North Carolina's maker scene. Most days, you'll catch me in myΒ TroyΒ workshop, probably with threads in my hair and a half-finished project on my desk. I love solving little problems - like how to keep your pottery tools from poking holes in your pockets (been there, done that). When I'm not sewing, I'm usually scribbling down new ideas or trying to figure out how to make our aprons even comfier. It's a pretty cool gig, and I'm just happy to be part of your creative adventures!
