How to Care for a Bib Apron

A bib apron is made to be used and reused. After each session, give it a quick shake or wipe down. Most styles can be hand-washed or machine-washed depending on the material—just avoid harsh bleach to keep that lush green tone vibrant.

Dry it on a line or hanger, and it’s ready for your next session—be it stirring, sewing, sautéing, or sculpting.

Bib Aprons in NZ Culture

In New Zealand, aprons are part of everyday life, from the community sausage sizzle to the Sunday roast. They’re also symbols of creativity, care, and craftsmanship. A green bib apron doesn’t just serve a purpose—it becomes part of your personal ritual.

Whether you're preparing kai for the whānau, tending your veggie patch, or brewing a fresh batch of kombucha, your apron becomes your armour. It speaks of pride in what you do and adds joy to the process.
