Pokemon-Inspired Kitchen Apparel

The Pikachu Apron by Darling Army is a Playful Cooking Garment

— March 31, 2012 — Life-Stages
When cleaning or cooking is the last thing on your mind, why not add a playful touch to the kitchen with this Pikachu Apron by Darling Army? This delightful kitchen apparel is perfect for brightening up any endeavor that might result in stains or splashes.

The Pikachu Apron is made out of out of 100% cotton, tulle and felt. While the majority of the apron is ironable (the cotton portion), you can use a steamer to de-wrinkle the parts made out of tulle.

Quirky and playful, the Pikachu Apron is a comical addition to the kitchen for anyone who enjoyed the popular cartoon or just likes to get silly once in a while.
