The Hospitality Guide: 6 Real-World Client Collabs

Branded merchandise isn’t just about adding logos to everything it’s about telling your story with every stitch, print, and material choice. We help restaurants, cafes, markets, and food brands bring their values to life through high-quality, custom products that make a lasting impression. Here’s a look at six of our favorite collaborations in the hospitality world:

RIGOR HILL

Located in the Tribeca neighborhood in NYC, Rigor Hill Market commissioned a line of custom merch for their storefront.

We developed canvas double handle bags in both natural and rust, a downtown bag in natural, and aprons in rust, featuring highly tactile embroidery that highlights their natural, community-focused mission.

OKO

Artisanal food brand, OKO, co-founded by a high-profile fashion designer and a renowned chef, required branded merchandise for their official launch.

To meet their deadline, we provided rush printing services for their custom artwork on a suite of organic tea towels and double handle bags with sustainable paper packaging.

LEI

James Beard Best New Restaurant 2026 award winner, Lei a contemporary wine bar in New York’s Chinatown commissioned a custom solution for their wine program.

We developed a specialized four-bottle wine tote, designed to offer their guests a secure and stylish way to transport curated selections.

We produced embroidered café chore coats and matching aprons, providing a cohesive, professional uniform for their staff to wear during this and other exclusive dining events.
