Only NY continues to make waves with the help of various New York-based companies, this time releasing a collaborative apparel collection with Blank Street Coffee. The range includes long-sleeved shirts, a cobranded tote bag, and new barista uniforms. Additionally, the duo has also collaborated to develop a unique coffee mix with a cooperative of coffee producers in Nicaragua.
"We’re thrilled to be partnering with Only NY for Blank Street’s first cobranded signature coffee blend and apparel collection," said Blank Street cofounder Vinay Menda. "Our mission has always been to make great coffee readily available where people want it most: down the block, by the train, on the way to a park. As a fellow New York-born brand that’s driven and inspired by the city, Only NY was a clear choice."
Consumers may sample the Only NY coffee blend during a pop-up that Blank Street Coffee is holding at Only NY's Greenpoint location beginning on December 9 and running until December 16.
