Artisan Aprons For Men & Women
Risdon & Risdon handcraft aprons with free repairs for life
When you purchase a Risdon & Risdon artisan aprons for men and women, you get a lifetime guarantee. And not many companies are willing to stick their neck on the line like that anymore. But Carla Risdon and her sons Alex and James believe in their own skills, the skills of their suppliers to deliver superior raw materials and in their beautiful yet practical handmade aprons.
Carla has a background in textiles and needlework and on a visit to San Francisco she had an epiphany. She fell in love with the industrial style aprons the baristas and café workers were wearing. On returning to England she rolled up her sleeves and hatched a plan. To create luxury aprons in a collection that combined, in her own words. “function, strength, simplicity and style.” Carla was stitching the aprons herself, however she had to outsource the leatherwork. Inspired by his mum Carla, Alex began to experiment with leather craft and finally gained not only the experience but he also nailed the leatherwork skills to join his mum in the business. Not long afterwards James, the elder of the siblings, finished his University degree in Graphic Design. He joined the fold. Creating the look and feel of the brand. The triumvirate was complete and Risdon & Risdon was officially born.
Risdon & Risdon make each of their artisan aprons for men and women in leafy Shrewsbury in Shropshire. Not far from Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale. The birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. So, it is fitting that they create luxury workwear that is as sturdy as the men that shovelled coal, ore and sand into the blast furnaces. To hark back to the heritage of the local area even more, the colour palettes for their handmade aprons are named accordingly: Trade Brown, British Navy, Heritage Grey… well you get the picture.
