Travel with Riviera to Tulum Mexico
Last month Travelocity was offering $62 last minute deals so on a whim, we decided to send our ambassador team on a photo shoot to Tulum, Mexico. They explored refreshing blue waters, ancient architecture, and Mexican culture. With less than 6 hours notice they had to pack quickly without luggage to catch the flight from LAX. Our Turkish cotton towel has now proven itself to be a game changer when it comes to traveling light. It was chilly at the airport as we were waiting to board, but fortunately our Essential Turkish towels double as stylish scarves. On the plane they served as cozy blankets, and when we landed we were ready for the beach. These towels saved space in our backpacks, we didn't have to pack a towel, scarf, blanket, or sarong, we basically left with one Essential Turkish cotton towel, swimsuits and a camera! Since these towels are light, it didn’t matter that they got wet on the beach, because by the time we got to the restaurant they were all dried out and once again made perfect stylish accents for our minimal attire. Next time you’re traveling to an exotic location you’ll always want to carry your Essential towel. Versatile, light weight and your ultimate travel companion. So if you’re looking for a new travel buddy, click here to view our collection of travel towels perfect for your next escape to Mexico, even if Mexico is just your backyard with some Corona’s!

The Importance of Shopping Sustainably
When shopping for turkish towels, there are several options on the market, but when choosing a place to shop it is important to consider the environmental impacts your purchase has. At Riviera Towel Company, each towel purchase contributes to several nonprofits such as the Surf Rider Foundation. Founders Albert DiPadova and Shannon said, “"RTC donates 5% of our net profits to several marine agencies working to heal and protect our oceans. We like to think our collections are more than beautiful towels; to us they are the embodiment of our desire to protect and restore our Oceans on a global scale. We hope that creating relationships with these world class marine organizations will turn our towels into waves of advocacy.” Here are three reasons why sustainable shopping is important, and purchasing your turkish towel from Riviera Towel Company not only benefits you, but the planet. Less textile waste Every second, one garbage truck carrying textile waste is deposited in a landfill or burned throughout the world. The reason behind the amount of textile waste piling up in landfills is mainly attributed too fast fashion and overconsumption practices. Brands participating in fast fashion forsake the quality of their pieces in order to lower their prices to increase consumption. Sustainable brands, on the other hand, place an emphasis on garment quality and use long-lasting materials in their manufacturing process. By purchasing items that will last longer, and are made with eco friendly materials, you can help contribute to decreasing the amount of textile waste in your community, and worldwide. 2. Fair wages and working conditions What keeps fast fashion popular is low prices, but these are only achievable because of harsh working conditions for workers in the garment and textile industry. This includes poor safety and health conditions, excessive working hours, and pressure to produce, which all increase the exploitation of workers. By switching to sustainable businesses and ethical brands, you may be more sure that your textiles were produced in a safe and fair working environment. 3. Reduced carbon footprint Turkish cotton towels vary in the material composition that fast fashion brands often use to create their textiles. Their materials mainly include petroleum based materials, compared to 100 percent turkish cotton towels. By supporting our brand, you are supporting the production of materials that require less water and less energy which reduces your carbon footprint.

How to Decorate Your College Dorm Room
Summer coming to a close means that many students are returning to campuses this fall. If you, or someone you know is about to be a first year student, then you know how stressful the planning and packing for dorm life can be. The way you arrange your apartment may reveal a lot about who you are. Redesigning your room might help you align your personality with your living area. After you've finished designing your room, you'll feel more confident in your space and more at ease in it. Unfortunately, college students rarely have a lot of room to work with. However, The Riviera Towel Company has some great pieces to tie together a college dorm and make it feel like home. Here are two of our most popular blankets and Turkish towels that you can take inspiration from; 1. Throw Blankets Throw blankets are an essential part of any bedding regime, but what makes the RTC throw blankets so special is their versatility. These blankets look great at the end of any bed to add an extra pop of color, but if you're going to the park, beach, or any outdoors location, these blankets are great to lounge on with multiple friends. Pictured here is the La Jolla throw adding a cozy element to this otherwise plain chair setup. Typically freshman year of college is chaotic and stressful, so having multiple throws for picnics, unexpected guests, or to snuggle up with during finals is a must. 2. The Essential Towel Don’t underestimate the power of a cute bath towel while living in a dorm room. When you’re living in such a small space, being able to save on storage is a big deal. When out of use the essential towels can be used as a cute chair cover, additional blanket, wall hanging, or even a scarf. Instead of having to deal with the eyesore and the storage issues of plain bath towels littering your space, knock two birds out with one stone by having your hygienic products double as decor. Pictured here is the Savona Turkish towel in Navy being used at the pool Overall, being able to have versatile and durable pieces is the most important thing to note when beginning to pack for college life. We have great options for you to keep your room feeling like home, while also being able to make the most out of your storage. Click here to browse your options
