Essential Apron Creators

When we teamed up with Tini Younger – you know, the culinary whiz and social media sensation who also blew us away on NEXT LEVEL CHEF Season 2 – to design her dream apron, we knew we had to tell her story in every stitch. So, we whipped up this second colorway in 100% cotton maize and dijon yellow twill. The real storytelling of Tini’s apron lies in the embroidery — think of it as a wearable timeline of Tini's epic journey: We stitched in a 'Give it a Mix' salt shaker (IYKYK), a Hedley & Bennett knife slicing through a PB&J (a nod to her knife arm tattoo and her Dutch heritage), and, of course, her legendary mac & cheese cavatappi with a blue crab peeking out (a shoutout to her Maryland roots).
