PAC Handmade Organic Aprons

Sustainable Linens & Aprons 

This Portland-born brand crafts aprons with gorgeous, all-natural linen. Because each apron is handmade, no two are exactly alike. Founded by Erika Kelly in 2012, the Portland Apron Company focuses on making high-quality aprons and home textiles with organic materials and unbeatable artisanal quality. They use organic fabrics sourced from US-based textile companies, and everything is cut and sewn in the US. PAC believes it's important that we all do our part in keeping our planet clean and cared for; as part of that, they do their part with sustainable home linens. Beyond their linen smock aprons, pinafores, and more for kitchen and gardening, this brand has worked with many other creatives to make textiles for cafes, floral boutiques, and workshops. Get ready to fall in love with linen.

How to Use Handmade Aprons

When not in use creating culinary masterpieces, PAC’s handmade aprons are designed to be decorative accent pieces in their own right. In addition to the charming patterns on each one, their focus on ethically sourced, organic materials is another reason why these linen aprons are so beautiful. Whether it’s from the farm to the kitchen table or from the farm to the sewing table, or if it’s by directly tilling the earth in one’s home garden, the Portland Apron Company’s especially popular line of linen smock aprons is just one example of how artisanal craftsmanship is something to share and celebrate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these handmade aprons suitable for daily usage?

Even though PAC’s line of linen products are such high-quality they can feel like they are best suited only for special occasions, part of their commitment to sustainability is in durability. Portland Apron Company creates every one of its products to be worn with pride and comfort, even for daily usage.

How do I wash PAC products?

Portland Apron Company prides itself on how each time, the products get softer with each wash. You can wash these by machine or by hand but make sure the temperature is low. Like anything cotton, expect some shrinking after the first wash. We recommend drying their handmade aprons and linens either by hanging or machine drying on low to medium heat. For linen smock aprons with straps, they recommend giving a light shake before fully drying.

What is the difference between apron styles?

The different PAC varieties all come down to use. Some aprons are intended for gardening, while others are solid investments in service-related work. The linen smock aprons are perfect for anything artisanal, be it crafting a culinary delight or spinning a pottery wheel.

How is Portland Apron Company committed to sustainability?

For PAC, sustainability and eco-consciousness is more than a buzzword, and that is why we are proud to showcase their collection. They choose to only make their handmade aprons from US-sourced, organic cotton for a variety of reasons: to ensure quality and integrity, to reduce carbon emissions in transportation, and because the lack of pesticides is not only healthier for wildlife and the soil, but for every person who handles the cotton, from the farm to your kitchen.   In addition, they are intentional about using only eco-friendly dyes for the same reasons.
