RTC's Mission
to Heal the Oceans
"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"
Co-Founders - Albert & Shannon DiPadova
About Us
Riviera Towel Company’s core missions are economic and ecological sustainability. Founded in 2014 by husband and wife, Albert and Shannon DiPadova, the two were inspired by their time abroad in Europe. They noticed that the locals were carrying thin, soft, beautifully colored towels while at the beach. After some research and multiple trips to Turkey, they decided to bring the perfect material for beach towels, wraps, blankets back home.
Our RTC Mission
