Namkins Brand

What is a namkin?
A joyful & sustainable compact cloth with a built-in storage case. Designed specifically for on-the-go use, a namkin is more than a napkin—it’s a versatile sidekick for travel, sports, hiking, road trips, and everyday messes. It’s the anywhere cloth.

Our Story
In 2021, we (co-founders, Avery + Nam) both moved to Vancouver at the same time, but we didn’t know each other yet. It wasn’t until we met in the elevator enough times, that we realized we were neighbours - just two doors down!

Namkins was formed in elevator rides, hallway chats and over dinners in our shoebox apartments. For three years, we met every Tuesday night building this business. Being there for your neighbour is woven into the very fabric of namkins. With persistence, creativity, and joy, we’re building something better for the planet and better for each other.
