Each XiaBu apron is made from high-quality ramie fiber, processed through traditional methods passed down for generations. The production starts with selecting fresh ramie stalks, followed by dew-bleaching – a natural process that uses morning dew to ferment and degum the fiber, keeping it pure and soft without any chemical additives. Then, artisans hand-spin the ramie into smooth, even yarns, which are later woven into XiaBu fabric on traditional wooden looms. Every thread is carefully arranged, and every weave is precisely controlled, resulting in a fabric with a unique, slightly textured surface that’s soft to the touch.
The apron features a practical design: it measures 80cm in length and 65cm in width, providing full coverage to protect clothing from stains. It comes with an adjustable neck strap (60-80cm in length) and waist straps (each 90cm in length), fitting most body types. The front of the apron has two deep pockets (15cm x 20cm each) for storing small items like cooking utensils, recipe cards, or craft tools. For color options, we offer unbleached ivory white (showcasing XiaBu’s natural hue) and plant-dyed variants in soft tones like light blue, sage green, and beige – all using natural dyes from indigo and tea extracts, ensuring safety and non-toxicity.
Genuine Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsmanship: Each apron is handwoven by artisans trained in the "Wanzai XiaBu Weaving Technique," with no machine substitution in core processes like spinning and weaving. This makes every apron a unique piece with subtle differences in texture.
100% Natural & Eco-Friendly Materials: Crafted from pure ramie fiber – a renewable resource. The entire production process avoids chemicals, from dew-bleaching to plant-based dyeing, causing no harm to the environment, soil, or human skin.
Superior Breathability & Comfort: Ramie fiber has natural micro-pores, allowing air to circulate freely through the XiaBu fabric. Even when worn for hours, the apron doesn’t trap heat or moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable.
Durable & Stain-Resistant: Hand-spun ramie yarns retain the fiber’s natural toughness, and the tight manual weaving makes the XiaBu fabric resistant to tearing and fraying. It also repels light stains, and most spills can be wiped off easily with a damp cloth.
Timeless Aesthetic: The minimalist design and natural texture of XiaBu complement various home styles, from modern minimalist to rustic. It’s not just an apron but also a decorative piece for your kitchen or workspace.
Kitchen Protection: Shields your clothing from oil splatters, food stains, and water spills while cooking, baking, or washing dishes.
Craft & Gardening Companion: Protects clothes from paint, glue, or dirt during DIY crafts, painting, or gardening activities.
Storage Solution: The two deep front pockets keep small items within reach, such as cooking tongs, scissors, seed packets, or paintbrushes.
Adjustable Fit: The adjustable neck and waist straps ensure a snug and comfortable fit for people of different heights and body shapes.
Decorative Accent: Adds a touch of cultural elegance to your kitchen or workspace, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your home.
Cultural Uniqueness: Unlike mass-produced cotton or polyester aprons, our XiaBu Apron carries over 1,600 years of Chinese cultural heritage. It’s not just a functional item but also a piece of cultural art that tells a story.
Better Performance Than Synthetic Aprons: Compared to polyester aprons, our XiaBu Apron is breathable (avoids stuffiness during long cooking sessions), hypoallergenic (safe for sensitive skin), and biodegradable (reduces environmental waste after use).
More Durable Than Cotton Aprons: Ramie fiber is 5 times stronger than cotton, so the XiaBu Apron can withstand frequent washing and heavy use without losing shape. It also dries 3 times faster than cotton, preventing mildew growth.
Easy to Clean: Most light stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth; for deeper stains, hand washing with mild detergent restores the apron to its original state. It doesn’t shrink or fade even after multiple washes.

Q1: Is the XiaBu fabric too thick to wear comfortably?
A1: No. The XiaBu fabric used for the apron is lightweight (about 120g per piece) and breathable. It’s thick enough to protect your clothes but thin enough to keep you cool, even during long cooking sessions.
Q2: Can I machine wash the XiaBu Apron?
A2: We recommend hand washing with mild detergent in cold water (below 30°C) to preserve the handwoven structure and natural dye. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle and place the apron in a laundry bag. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying.
Q3: Will the adjustable straps break easily?
A3: No. The straps are woven from the same durable ramie yarns as the apron body and reinforced with double stitching at the attachment points. They can withstand regular adjustment and heavy use without breaking.
Q4: Do you offer custom logos or patterns for bulk orders?
A4: Yes. For bulk orders (minimum 30 pieces), we can add custom embroidery or screen-printed logos (e.g., for café uniforms or corporate gifts). We also offer custom plant-dye colors based on your preferences. Contact our customer service for details.
Q5: How long does it take to ship the XiaBu Apron internationally?A
5: We ship to most countries and regions, including the US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea. Standard shipping takes 7-15 business days, and expedited shipping takes 3-5 business days. A tracking number will be provided once your order is shipped.
