Fabric and construction

Gobelin is a densely woven fabric, traditionally associated with quality tapestries and decorative items. Applied to this apron, it provides thickness, controlled stiffness and a characteristic texture that distinguishes it from common aprons made of plain cotton or polyester.

As it is mechanically woven, the pattern is part of the fabric structure — it is not a print applied on top. This ensures that the image remains intact even after several machine washes.

This apron is part of a selection of Portuguese items available in a shop with over sixty years of history. Since 1962, the tradition of choosing well, with criteria and taste, has passed from generation to generation — now also available online, to reach those who value what is made with care.
