N'Vē
INFO
This apron is crafted from repurposed overalls, which have been sliced, altered, and meticulously sewn together to breathe new life into the old in a conceptual manner. This piece combines elements of maximalism and utilitarianism, complementing its basic silhouette with intricate details.
It features four straps that wrap around the underarms and over the shoulders, fastening with PTFE plastic buckles. These straps attach to the backpiece, creating a secure fit.
The spine on the back is constructed using inseam hems that have been sliced off, repurposed into strips, and arranged into a ribcage-like spinal piece. Notably, at the nape of the neck and the tailbone region, you'll find 1.5-inch 316L SS O-rings designed for attaching accessories such as a tool belt or a denim gimp mask.
SIZING
Medium: Tall and a 34” waist
This apron is designed for tall AMAB and AFAB individuals with a waist measurement of 34 inches and a height from the top of the chest to the bottom of the skirt measuring 39.5 inches. It features adjustable straps on each side of the chest to accommodate a wide range of body types and hug against the chest.

CLEANING & CARE
Hand wash with warm water and laundry soap; avoid rough abrasions against the fabric. Gently wring out the wet garment. Hang it up to air dry. Since the material is thick, it may take some time for the garment to dry completely. Store the damp garment in a warm, dry area until it is fully dry. Once dry, you can press and steam it if necessary. You can also use starch to stiffen the material if desired
STORAGE
When the garment is dry and ready to be set aside for storage, you have two options: folding or hanging. Hanging is the preferred choice as it allows the fibers to naturally align with gravity and stay in sync with each other. However, if you choose to fold, keep in mind that denim holds creases well but may require steaming or pressing to remove any wrinkles.
For archival storage, fold the garment into a desired, even-sized square that fits inside an airtight vacuum-sealed bag. Once sealed, store it in light-tight containers, making sure there are no objects that can puncture the bag.
When you're ready to remove the garment from archival storage, release the air slowly, allowing the fabric to expand naturally without any irritation. Once the fabric has stopped expanding with air, open the bag and remove the clothing to hang. Hanging will naturally allow the fibers to align with the pattern and drape correctly. From there, you can proceed with the cleaning and drying process to prepare the garment for use.
