that is probably what fabric + labor costs, but I prefer my pretty vintage ones of printed cotton. They were inherited over the years and hold good memories brought to the surface every time I pull one out. And aprons do serve a purpose!

Holey Toledo, just for a apron? For that kind of money, I'd rather find a good fabric sale

WOW -- the aprons are nice looking, but the price is out there (but I don't know what a "normal" chef's apron costs).

I have been making this style of aprons for years using indoor/outdoor fabrics from Joanns and giving them to friends. Easy and fun to make with pretty fabrics even for men who cook. As far as her prices, good for her. Made in America for a craft industry. As long as people are willing to pay. And for quilting board members, we know we can always make our own. Now where is my stash of apron fabric.....
