The Maker Leather Apron

The Maker Leather Apron began as a piece Ella designed for herself—a practical yet striking apron to protect against glue and leather fibres while maintaining an effortlessly polished look.

Part of the Ella Jackson Zero Waste Collection, each apron is made from leather offcuts that would otherwise go to landfill. The raw edges create a bold, one-of-a-kind statement, with each apron carefully pieced together from hand-selected leather remnants to create something truly special.

Working with leather is a privilege, and every Zero Waste piece is crafted with intention. If you're drawn to wearable art and appreciate sustainability without compromise, the Maker Leather Apron is made for you.

This apron features a combination of black and tan leather, complemented by black straps and a tan bib pocket. Fully lined with a black fabric, it offers durability and easy spot cleaning.

Handcrafted in Tasmania

Each Maker Leather Apron is made to order in my studio in Tasmania, Australia. There’s something special about knowing the maker behind your piece—your apron isn’t just another item off a production line. It’s designed with care and assembled with purpose.

Care Guide

Made from the finest Italian leathers, this apron is beautifully crafted but requires mindful care:

• Use a leather conditioner (try the Ella Jackson Natural Leather Conditioner)
• Avoid excessive water exposure
• Store out of direct sunlight
• Any natural markings in the leather are a testament to its authenticity

Shipping

Postage is on me. Your apron will arrive in a compostable mailer, and if opened with care, the packaging can be reused.
