Keep it long, treasure it long.

refreshing linen apron

A cloth that always touches the skin from the beginning to the end of the day. There are various materials, but the presence of your favorite fabric is essential for a comfortable life. Among them, linen is resistant to washing, and the more you use it, the softer and more comfortable it becomes.

A design that you will always want to keep by your side

The linen chambray apron is an apron that uses tightly woven linen chambray fabric. Chambray is a type of plain weave fabric in which the warp and weft are woven alternately, and is woven using colored threads for the warp and white threads for the weft. Threads appear evenly on the surface of the cloth, and the white threads appear like marbling, or frost. Another feature of chambray fabric is that it does not fade like denim fabric.

A design that stands out with two lines woven into the chambray fabric. An apron that is simple and not overly decorative, but that gives off a sense of quality will increase your mood for cooking. There is a semicircular pocket on the front, so you can use it for cell phones and towels that you want to keep while doing housework. The neck strap is long and can be tied and adjusted, so it can be used regardless of gender.

Linen yarn is not produced in Japan, so ALDIN items use fine flax from France and Belgium spun in Italy. Linen yarn is highly reliable among craftsmen because it is a safe material with stable quality and Oeko-Tex certification. Imported in the state of thread, all subsequent processes such as cloth making, dyeing, cutting, sewing, and embroidery are performed in Japan. Therefore, the number of production is never large, but all are carefully made one by one within the reach of the eye.

Another commitment of ALDIN is that it is selvedge linen. Selvage refers to the anti-fray applied to the edge of the fabric, which is called "woven fabric selvage" in Japan. Most of the antique linen is selvedge linen, but it has a mechanism that cannot be made with modern machines, so it is rare to see it. At ALDIN, we cannot say that productivity is good, but we use an old-fashioned shuttle loom, and craftsmen sincerely move their hands, use their fingers, and follow the loom with their eyes to create a single piece of linen. is completed.

From the foot of Mt. Fuji

Linen item factory brand ALDIN is a brand started by Tenjin Factory, a weaving factory in Yamanashi Prefecture. At the foot of Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, there is a hometown of high-end textiles known as "Kaiki" and "Gunnaiori", and Fujiyoshida City, where Tenjin Factory is located, is one of them. The textile industry in this area has a long history, and for over 1,000 years the sound of weaving machines has resounded throughout the city. The beautiful scenery with Mt.Fuji and pure spring water are still indispensable for making sophisticated textiles.

The reason why ALDIN started is the encounter with European antique linen. When I saw the fabric that was filled with that time and feeling, I wanted to create a fabric that would be loved for a long time. Items made with the aim of becoming vintage linen that will become familiar to the skin and increase in texture the more you use it, have a cuteness and nostalgia, and a charm that makes you want to keep it by your side forever. .
