Vintage Aprons & Retro Aprons

Vintage aprons hold a nostalgic place in our memories, conjuring images of Stepford-like housewives from the 1950's.  A vintage apron is an iconic way to bring fashion and passion back into your kitchen.  At the Apron Shoppe, we carry a wide variety of vintage aprons and retro aprons that are perfect for bridal showers, gifts, and anyone wanting to let the tame housewife in you run wild...while remaining classy and sophiticated!

Vintage Aprons Are Making a Comeback!

Whether you are an apron aficionado or are new to the apron wearing league, vintage aprons have tremendous appeal.  You may even have a few vintage aprons in your home handed down from the matriarchs of your family. Your mother's vintage aprons are great for display or even as sources of fabric for quilts and pillows, but a new vintage apron will breathe new life into a tired kitchen routine.  

While authentic vintage aprons are appealing to our heritage, a new vintage-inspired apron is perfect for the challenges and victories of the modern kitchen.  We love to use aprons as a catchall for every type of mess, from flour flurries to the sauce splatters created every time we cook.   

In addition, it is so much easier to just grab a handful of apron when reaching for a hot dish, rather than hunting for those potholders yet again.  A new vintage apron is thick enough to save our fingerprints and our fine clothing.

Vintage Aprons Create New Memories

Our selection of retro aprons and vintage aprons is perfect for recalling the calm, domesticated woman of the past, while creating new more "colorful" memories in your own kitchen. Many of our customers have purchased vintage aprons out of love for a fond memory of a beloved mother, grandmother, aunt or friend, while others, purchase them as a type of "rebellion" against the stereotypical housewife figure they do not want to be.

Whatever your reasons, we think vintage aprons are a wonderful way to express the classy sophistication as well as the sarcastic rebeliousness inside you. Our selection of retro aprons varies from demure floral prints to wild paisleys and everything in between. We have carefully cultivated an apron collection to satisfy every taste, and we hope that you will bring home a vintage apron today!
