As most of my fellow Thrift Store Devotees know, a vintage apron can sometimes represent an amazing find. They’re often quite affordable, are still in usable condition, and instantly create an eye-catching retro look on a person or as decor. (If you’re lucky enough to find a good one that is.) As a collector of vintage aprons, and a confirmed foodie, I love seeing the variety of vintage inspired kitchen aprons that have been popping up lately.

Pinup Girl Clothing currently carries 6 fabric choices for these beautiful oilcloth aprons that will “keep your clothing clean while cooking, gardening or doing crafts”. How versatile; now I don’t have to leave my craft room covered head to toe in glitter! And they’re modeled by pinup model Heidi Van Horne, which makes imagining ones self as a 50’s domestic diva even easier. If you’re into that.

Kitsch’n Glam is an indie business that offers several styles of reversable retro aprons, some of which are available with matching oven mitts, potholders, and tea towels. They range from the uber girly to male-friendly BBQ style aprons. Custom orders are also available, which I imagine have spiced up more than a few humdrum events.

So if you’ve tapped out your local antique store or are looking for a unique hostess gift, snag a reproduction retro apron and get to baking (or crafting or gardening or whatevs…)
