I ALWAYS COMBINE SHIPPING. This is a beautiful handmade apron made from vintage Eames Era fabric (1950-1960's). The classic 100% cotton border print depicts a Caribbean CALYPSO theme featuring a woman carrying a basket with roosters on her head and a cute burrow following her with a huge basket of flowers... she has a pipe in her mouth and a fan in her hand and is lifting her skirt. There is another woman in a scarf also carrying a load of flowers on her head next to a man dressed in a bold polka dotted shirt. Behind the figures are Caribbean colonial buildings, the kind that you would likely see in the Bahamas, Cuba, or the British West Indies. This wonderful apron has a left hand pocket and is skillfully sewn. The measurements are a 19" waistband, a 21" length from the middle of the waistband to the bottom of the hem, and 25 1/2" sashes. The apron has never been worn and was just made!I live on a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay in a 90 year old home. It is sometimes cold and humid due to the fog. I buy a lot vintage items and I do my best to keep everything odor free but If you are very sensitive to the musty smell of boxes please be advised. I usually wash everything that I sell except for new unused items, but sometimes a scent or tiny spot can get past me that I am not aware of. I do not smoke but read more
