Eco Modern Esiliina (Houndstooth-Metsä)

I was a little skeptical about the towel loop at first, but it's incredibly handy when I'm wiping my hands between batches of cookies. The houndstooth pattern looks even better in person, and the leather-tipped straps feel sturdy.

The phone pocket is perfectly sized for my iPhone, and the leather-tipped straps feel sturdy without being stiff. I've already used it for three cooking sessions and the houndstooth pattern hides spills surprisingly well.

The leather-tipped straps are a nice upgrade—they feel sturdy and add a bit of style to something that's normally purely functional. I also appreciate the towel loop; it keeps my kitchen rag from sliding off my shoulder while I'm cooking.
