Gift and Home Textile Week starts this Friday at 7W New York with an exclusive Shop Early Day.  The building has planned a full range of activities including in-suite events, parties and buyers lunches throughout the 7-day show.  Highlights of this market will include a special International Buyers Day, a “Best of the Best” lobby display and the celebratory launch of a temporary Antiques & Interiors Design Gallery on the 8^th Floor. This expansive new gallery will boast a mélange of distinctive, one of a kind pieces and gift ideas.  Also on the calendar is 7 W’s Hawaiian Luau, kicking off a special night of suite-to-suite shopping; an exclusive viewing at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in honor of Accent on Design’s 25^th Anniversary (which 7W will co-sponsor) and Gifts & Decorative Accessories’ 58^th Annual Retailer Excellence Awards, honoring the best and brightest in the industry.

Since the show runs concurrently with the NYIGF, 7W is offering a complimentary trolley to/from the Javits Center and a luxury limo service back and forth from Pier 94.
