Pay tribute to one of New York’s oldest and most beloved coffee institutions with this coffee-dyed hand towel featuring an original illustration of Porto Rico Importing Co., a family-owned Greenwich Village staple roasting beans and filling the neighborhood with rich aroma since 1907.

Part of our Café Collection, this sustainable kitchen towel is dyed and printed using upcycled coffee grounds collected from NYC cafés—including, in some cases, the very spot it honors. Each towel is handcrafted in New York City using ethically sourced materials and 100% biodegradable, coffee-based dye and ink.

Whether you’re a lifelong local, a visitor with a love for Village charm, or a coffee enthusiast with an eye for design, this towel is a functional piece of NYC history.

A Note on Aging Gracefully:
Because we use natural coffee-based dyes, each piece will soften and fade with time and washing—like your favorite vintage tee or a well-loved café cup. We see this as part of the story: a natural patina that reflects use, memory, and care.
