Ordito is the warp: the threads stretched across a loom, the ones everything else passes through. We started there. Four kitchen aprons, handmade in linen, cotton and denim, with no frills, made to be worn every day and to hang well.
(About)
It started with one table, one sewing machine and a roll of washed linen. We wanted an apron we would actually keep on all day.
Every Ordito apron is cut and sewn by hand, in small runs. We choose heavy, honest fabrics that soften with every wash, and we keep the details few: a pocket where your hand falls, straps that cross and stay put, stitching made to last.
Before a pattern goes on the rail we lend it to bakers, baristas and home cooks for a few weeks. What comes back with flour, coffee and oil on it tells us what to change.
(Worn in)
“A year of five a.m. bakes and flour everywhere. It only got softer.”
“The pocket sits exactly where my hand goes for the thermometer.”
“By lunch I forget I’m wearing it. That’s the best thing I can say about an apron.”
