Overview
Introducing the world’s first extremely lightweight and durable “everyday” leather apron that can easily withstand oil, fire and even acid, every single year, without ever losing its luxuriously supple feel and cool breathability. The Smooth Leather Apron is only 0.7mm thick and weighs but half a pound. It is handcrafted, and only made from the same type of delicate, 100% natural leather, that European luxury companies use to craft their own unique products. Now made from waterproof leather!

An elegant and luxurious 100% natural leather apron

“This unique leather apron is perfect for crafts people to trade professionals to the everyday cook who loves to BBQ on a warm and sunny day... and just about everyone else in between who needs an extremely comfortable, water resistant and lightweight leather apron!"

Stunningly soft + Built tough
It's rare when an apron can be graciously supple and tough at the same time. Our apron has also been crafted to take a lifetime of abuse while remaining fully resilient and highly functional. This leather will stand the test of time.

Amazingly Comfortable
This apron weighs only half a pound and is but 0.5 to 0.6mm thick, taking comfort to a new level of amazing. It works with your body movements in a pleasant state of fluidity, minus any stiffness or hindrances. That's how premium calf leather works.

Minimalist  Design
Thanks to the minimalist design and premium soft and durable leather of our exclusive apron, you’ll enjoy an apron that contours naturally to your body, no matter what size or shape you are.

After many months of advanced product development, design modifications and prototype testing, the Smooth Leather Apron has finally entered the final production stage. By becoming an early backer, you'll be helping us finish this amazing leather apron so we can move it from the production stage to the mass-market stage (and make it available at a great introductory price to boot)!

About

Today, most of our craftswomen production is crafted for recognized brands of the leather industry, before being sold at a final retail price much greater than its manufacturing and shipping costs. With your help to get our Smooth Leather Apron to the final stage of production, not only will you get a premium, 100% natural leather product without the luxury markup...you’ll also make difference.

Thanks to your purchase, you’ll also be making a positive impact in the lives of many skilled craftswomen who do the work they love from their own home workshops, and also help to allow them to spend even more quality time with their children. It’s a WIN-WIN for everyone!

 

A Smooth Leather Apron that will stand the test of time!

A unique history & personality

Built to last
Unlike typical clothing and denim aprons that might tear down or burn with use, our minimalist and elegant aprons are crafted to always remain fully functional and supple. The apron's natural vintage finish takes on any and all “wear and tear” with grace and ease.

Easily customize & Personalize your very own Smooth Leather Apron!

Want to add a bit of customization to your new leather apron? Or maybe you want to customize it for yourself, or give it as a gift? No problem. You can have a short name or initials (up to six letters either way) directly sewn into your Smooth Leather Apron... If you need a few aprons with your company logo instead, that's fine too!

 

The Hallmark of Real Quality Leather

With the passage of time and regular use, The Smooth Leather Apron will achieve a weathered look called “Patina”. This patina is the hallmark of 100% high-quality natural leather. This gives it the rich, natural character traits and a unique history all on it’s own.  With it, we create elegant and amazingly comfortable products, and make them available for down-to-earth prices that are realistic and affordable.

 

 

When Softness & Toughness BECOME ONE

The Smooth Leather Apron is one of the world’s toughest and most resilient lightweight leather apron ever crafted by human hands. It’ll protect you from harm, while at the same time gracefully withstanding assault from small debris, oil even fire... without losing its luxurious soft and supple texture, style and unbelievable comfort!

 

It never weighs you down or gets in your way!

Ultra light
This apron weighs about 238 grams, which is about 3-5 times lighter than most leather aprons: you can wear it for hours on end, without ever feeling weighed down or worn out. In fact, you’ll barely even know you’re wearing it.

Super thin
This apron is also thinner than most clothing and denim aprons on the market. It naturally adjusts and contours with your body movements every time. This means no more chaffing folds and no more clunkiness while you work.

Gracefully supple
With the Smooth Leather Apron, no matter if you kneel down, bend over, or even dance and jump, all you’ll feel is a thin and protective layer of leather flowing with your body to protect you.

 

 

Apron Specifications

1. The Vintage Zammak Buckle

 

 

Zamak alloys aluminum, magnesium and copper with a base of 99.99% pure zinc. This makes for a much stronger stainless metal. This metal has been carefully and thoroughly brushed for a smooth and beautiful vintage finish.
 

 

 

2. An easily Adjustable Neck Strap

 

 

The adjustable neck strap lets you tighten up your apron as close to your collarbone as you wish. Feel free to tighten it up tight and snug, or let it hang loose on your chest. You can adjust it just the way you like it, every time, in a matter of seconds!

 

 

3. Ultra strong, Hardy Nylon Threads

 

 

Our unique Smooth Leather Apron has been crafted from small leather pieces which minimizes wastefulness from the overall manufacturing process. These pieces are then bound together using ultra-strong, hardy nylon threads.  

  


4. Seamless form + effortless functionality

 

The borders of each piece are folded and sewn from the inside, which is the most delicate part of the apron. Their unique shape is carefully designed to protect you from harm without restricting or constricting your own natural movements.

 

 

 

The Universal Apron: One size really does fit all!

It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 2Xs or a 4XL... or any size in between, our unique leather apron will fit your body perfectly every single time. You can be 5’1 or 6’5, a teen, a grown adult, a male or female...it doesn't matter. Our Smooth Leather Apron has been carefully crafted and designed to naturally fit any human body.

  • The Smooth Leather Apron has you covered (literally), with an “effective protection area” of about 90cm long x 57cm wide.
     
  • It also comes with a 12cm x 10cm chest pocket that’s sewn in half in order to fasten to everyday items you may want to have close to you at all times.
     
  • Keep your handkerchief within arm’s reach at all times thanks to the handy holding strap. You don’t even have to lo­­ok before you grab it, saving you time and energy.
     
  • Whether you kneel down, bend over, or even dance and jump, all you’ll feel is a thin and protective layer of leather flowing with your body to protect you. It always stays close to your body to keep you protected, but also allows you to have the freedom you desire.

About

An Apron that’s deeply rooted in history and tradition

Each Smooth Leather Apron is created with passion and precision, that’s deeply rooted in rich leathermaking history and tradition. Every cut, every seam and every smooth edge is done the right way, to ensure that you’re only getting the best apron possible.

 

Meet the passionate people behind Zagazzi
Every garment made here at Zagazzi is handmade by many highly talented and skilled craftswomen. These are hard-working mothers and daughters who have refined the craft of leatherworking from one generation to another, while keeping family values and traditions alive and well.

We came together and joined forces for the first time 25 years ago south of Bogota, Colombia, and now we’ve grown into a single, hard-working community every since. We believe that there’s no replacement for high quality leather products created from true craftsmanship. We build authentic products that will last an entire lifetime, and we love doing it! 

 We simply love what we do.

 
 

A clean and thoughtful manufacturing process
When you consider the amount of raw materials, water and minerals or oils that are used during leather cutting and tanning, it can be a very wasteful process that adds up pretty quickly. That’s why we wanted to do things differently. We wanted to be more thoughtful and respectable to our planet, adopting several mindful processes into our manufacturing process.

Every ounce of water we use during our tanning process is thoroughly cleaned and recycled. This way it can become fully safe, drinkable water, and is never wasted. Ever. We also recycle our own chemicals so they can be used as fertilizer to help grow plentiful crops.

Furthermore, all of our aprons are created from small pieces of leather that are carefully sewn together in a specific shape and order, which allows us little to no leather waste whatsoever during our entire manufacturing process.

About our production
Everything we produce is minerally tanned. Mineral tanning ions being much smaller compared to vegetable tanning molecules, they can also mix much better with the leather at a smaller fiber level that vegetable tanning simply can’t reach.

This allows for thinner and softer leather that’s much more durable, resistant to humidity, fluids and even “wear and tear” over time. We also test leather thickness and resistance in a very thorough manner during our exclusive manufacturing process as well.
