Sassy Scrubs� Product Moves into the Kitchen

no@spam.com (Karen Bradley) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:54:48 MST

December 2, 2011 � Penn Yan, NY - - Sassy Scrubs, a US based scrubs and uniform manufacturer, announces the first addition to their new �Chef & Home Cooking� line of products. Their newest offering is a Plus-Sized Apron, which is designed to fit up to a size 9-XLarge. This is the first of several new items to be unveiled in this exciting expansion of their current product line. Best known for their custom made medical and nursing scrubs, Sassy Scrubs President, Karen Bradley states �Due to the overwhelming increase of requests from our customers for fashionable products that can be used by chefs and home based cooks, we�ve decided it was time to expand our current product line. Our goal is to offer products that can be both fun and fashionable at home or on the job. Adding a plus-sized option for our aprons was a natural expansion of our Company�s current business philosophy, making our items available to everyone, no matter what your size.� The company�s new apron will fit up to a size 9XL, thereby providing a product that is difficult to find in the general marketplace. For decades, everything from calico dresses to microfiber tops have been protected from spatters and stains by the wonder of a simple apron. In the age before washing machines and stain removers, grandmothers and moms, cooks and teachers knew of the importance and usefulness of a sturdy apron. Melding fashion and utility in apron design was one way the homemaker of days past was able to practice skills and create a lovely garment, while still producing a practical utensil for her kitchen, and her life. Practicing skills borrowed from quilting, embroidery, and other needle arts, homemakers often decorated this useful kitchen tool to brighten their day, and to demonstrate their level of skill in these areas. Today�s resurgence of interest in aprons revolves not only around the utilitarianism of the simple smock, but more so around a new-found appreciation for the art and skill exhibited in the beautiful details of this useful garment. Because Sassy Scrubs makes their Aprons from hundreds of fabric choices, they have become experts at creating a striking, yet useful garment, geared to the individual tastes of each customer. Whether their Apron fabrics feature dragonflies or vegetables, guitar picks or horses, the fashion element added to their custom made Aprons is as unique as the garments are useful. Bradley states �We have become fascinated with how these useful garments can be constructed with durability and utility, fashion and individuality in mind.� Sassy Scrubs will soon be releasing their new Chef�s Hats for their �Chef & Home Cooking� line, as well as a new plus-sized scrub top featuring sporty and fashionable stretch side panels.
