The summer 2009 Home Textiles Market Week in New York will feature a fresh mix of international and domestic resources, as well as an influx of "green" and sustainable products, with more than 40 companies joining the market's nearly 500 mid-to-high-end home fashions suppliers this summer.

The semi-annual market, which is produced and promoted cooperatively by the New York International Gift Fair(NYIGF) at New York City's Jacob K. Javits Center and Passenger Ship Terminal Pier 94, 230 Fifth Avenue and 7 W New York, will run Friday, August 14, through Thursday, August 20.

"Eco-friendly is on-trend in home textiles and several market newcomers specialize in 'green' products," said Dorothy Belshaw, GLM senior vice president and NYIGF directory. "In addition, a wealth of new resources from Canada, France, Japan, India and Pakistan will provide buyers with easy access to unique merchandise from around the world."

Of the companies new to Home Textiles Market Week,several produce environmentally-responsible merchandise, or import products through Fair Trade agreements with developing countries. For example, Table Manors offers a line of biodegradable placemats and napkins; Green 3 specializes in organic cotton wearables; and Sustainable Threads carries contemporary home and personal wear goods sourced through Fair Trade arrangements.

Twelve companies will join NYIGF-both in At Home featuring Home Textiles at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and in other NYIGF divisions.
