The Shop Also Houses a Factory. See the Manufacturing Process in Action.
Originally, aprons were called "napron." The word "apron" came about because "a napron," when spoken, was mistakenly heard as "an apron," leading to the word "apron" itself.
The newly opened APRON SHOP & FACTORY "NAPRON" focuses on the brand's own "Napron" line, offering a curated selection of tools related to aprons, such as those for the kitchen, gardening, and cleaning. It proposes a lifestyle centered around aprons.
The store also has a factory attached, and it's fascinating that you can actually see the manufacturing process. In the future, they plan to hold seminars using in-store products and food, not only for sales but also to teach how to use and care for the tools.
