“I was raised between my grandfather’s farm in the Dominican Republic and New York City. In DR, I witnessed how modern technology has made farmers steer away from traditional farming practices— the use of additives, pesticides, herbicides, and other harmful chemicals has increased. Living in New York City I’ve noticed that the demand for healthy food options and ethical/sustainable business practices has greatly increased. People want companies that care, and I don’t think that that is a hard demand to comply with. That is why I decided to create Don Carvajal Café. I want to change the way Coffee, in both its production and distribution, is perceived by strategically working against unethical practices that lead to deforestation, chemical runoff, and child labor— some of the very things coffee production is known for.”   Founder, Hector Castillo Carvajal

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we wanted to embrace Paper Pride, AKA the special role stationery and greeting cards can play to make room for every lifestyle at the table. Makers who recognize and support the LGBTQIA community help facilitate and normalize conversations happening all around us as they help every customer feel seen. Our guest today, Ashleigh Pritchard of CharmCat Creative, uses her vibrant watercolor range to advocate for several underserved communities and has built inclusion into her very brand. From her welcome policy to her charity pledge, she is one of many makers making a concerted effort to run her company with 21st-century compassion and grace.

The NapKing proposes an original collection of digital prints on pure linen, born from the intuition of enlarging the design on the tablecloth and placing it ad hoc on the different sizes of the articles. The re-adaptation of the typical shapes and colors of the Mediterranean, and the compositions inspired by the futuristic graphic designs of the late 19th Century.
