Short apron
This handmade apron has a clever double-print design, one to the front and one to the back. Made from pure cotton, it features a functional patch pocket and adjustable tie waist for a comfortable fit. A regional speciality from Burgenland, this apron’s reversible design echoes a traditional practice where one side was reserved for work and the other, known as “the walking side”, was for strolling through the village.
Koó has honoured the tradition of indigo dyeing since 1921, running one of Europe’s last blueprinting workshops. Each printed garment by Koó carries a slice of Austrian history, defined by master craftspeople using decades-old techniques. Their Burgenland indigo print was recognised by Austria’s Unesco commission as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2010.
