Ginger Apron, Hedley & Bennett

Heidi Geldhauser

Aprons are a magnet for stains of all kinds, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be stylish. Hedley & Bennett creates on-trend and durable aprons that come in a variety of styles and sizes. We’re partial to the Ginger Apron, which is made from American-produced canvas, natural cotton and brass hardware, and features lap and pen pockets. It also comes in a smaller petite version for female employees. hedleyandbennett.com
