Do you really need to wear an apron in your home kitchen? Don’t listen to me, just take a look at all the shirts you’ve ruined with grease and sauce stains. Those are proof enough that this is a cooking essential alongside your sharp knives and kosher salt.
Today at Hedley & Bennett, the makers of legitimately stylish aprons (not an oxymoron!), you can pick one up for less during their Mystery Box Sale.
What is the Mystery Box Sale, you may ask? Every once in a while, the brand offers you the chance to score an apron for just $55 (normally they’re around $75 to $120 depending on the material and collaborator), but the catch is you won’t know what the design is until you get it. It’s a gamble, sure, but it’s also a protective piece of fabric that’s supposed to take a beating in the kitchen — and considering we haven’t seen a bad design from them yet, it’s a gamble we’re willing to take.
Plus, they’re not only selling styles you’ve seen on their site before. As they note, this sale is “your one chance to get the lowest price on limited edition styles and never before seen products.” So who knows? You may get a one-of-a-kind design, or you may get your hands on one of their collaborations for a steal (right now, their most recent partners have been the Grateful Dead and Top Chef). Do be aware that some of these aprons will have small imperfections, but if you use it right, you’ll be adding your own soon enough.
We've put in the work researching, reviewing and rounding up all the shirts, jackets, shoes and accessories you'll need this season, whether it's for yourself or for gifting purposes. Sign up here for weekly style inspo direct to your inbox.
