Valcooks! Designer Hostess Apron and Potholder Set

This apron is a bit silly--if that's what you're looking for, then you've found it. I ordered the magenta/pink one because I didn't like the idea of a mostly white apron (for the staining potential). The fabric quality was rough and cheap, the "pot holder" was thin enough to be nearly useless, and the apron's details just seemed overdone. The wrap/ribbon tie closure was cheap weight shiny poly fabric. While okay-looking once you have it done and wrapped around, it seemed too cumbersome to wrap/unwrap any time you want to take the thing on or off quickly, and the ties are REALLY long, like maybe 4-5' long on each side. Where are you going to hang it in a kitchen that the ties wouldn't drag on the floor? Otherwise you'd have to take the time to stuff them into the front pockets to hang up. It's almost more of a recurring kitchen hazard than a decorative detail, and certainly not a practical use item. I was looking for a primarily functional and also attractive item, so I returned it.
