Enrich & Endure

Enrich & Endure was founded by brother and sister Sarah and Lorcan Quinn. It is more than just the company name, it's also the pledge they insist their products must fulfil. Enrich & Endure was founded with the vision of reviving the local linen industry in Northern Ireland and with the commitment to the principals of using quality materials, protecting local craftsmanship and ensuring top-class design.

There is a versatility to linen that Sarah and Lorcan were keen to explore and being obsessed with quality food and good coffee as they are (!) they had the idea of creating a linen apron. They initially collaborated with one of their favourite coffee shops to design the perfect apron for the team. Subsequently, each linen apron is handmade in Northern Ireland, under their watchful eye through every stage from design concept to end product. And the manufacturing team obsess over every little detail.

From that initial collaboration they have shown that by using the time-proven fabric on meticulously well-made product they are able to revive an ageing industry. They’re are proud to say that their products are truly enriching and enduring products.

Classic Irish Linen Apron - Charcoal Grey

£51.75 £69.00

We have been looking for an apron for Simple Shape since we began; a good looking apron for kitchen, workshop or garden. It needs to be an apron that you want to use, an apron that you forget to take off. Oh my goodness this has not been easy BUT we have found it. This, the Classic Irish Linen Apron has an adjustable neck strap meaning that giants and lilliputians can wear it, it has long waist straps to fit your shape. It has unobtrusive deep front pockets. It is woven in 100% Irish linen in a wonderful two-tone fabric that looks almost like denim.

Colour: Charcoal Grey (this is achieved by weaving with grey on the warp and black on the weft). The grey neck strap and waist ties are a softer grey. The makers tiny bird detail is embroidered in the corner in white.

Size and details: l 86cm x w 62cm / brass hardware on neck strap

Notes: Linen should be washed at max 30 degrees (never tumble dried or dry cleaned)
