With nearly 600 bed, bath, linen and home fashion vendors, the summer 2011 Home Textiles Market Week in New York will provide buyers with convenient access to the largest collection of home textiles resources in the United States, August 12-18, at locations throughout New York City. Market Week activities – which include buyer-directed educational seminars, special events and promotions – will take place at five venues: NYIGF at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and Passenger Ship Terminal Piers 92 and 94; 230 Fifth Avenue; and 7 W New York.

“New York Home Textiles Market offers the nation's broadest collection of mid-to-high-end home textiles,” said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and GLM senior vice president. “No other U.S. market offers such a concentration of key resources presented alongside a comprehensive range of relevant products.”

Within NYIGF, At Home featuring Home Textiles presents a concentration of some 200 suppliers of bed and bath fashions, such as table linens, kitchen textiles, towels, decorative accessories, area rugs, window treatments and decorative fabrics at the Javits Center.

The division also welcomes Callisto Home (pillows) and Cloud 9 (pillows), both of which are relocating from Pier 94 into At Home featuring Home Textiles.
