OM home at NYIGF

The NYIGF was an amazing experience! Being at the show was a proud moment for me, a testament to how far I've come and it was also an incredibly humbling experience for me, I have such a long way to go!

I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people at the show, both exhibitors and attendees. But I took the time to walk the show a bit and I think meeting other designers was the real highlight for me. There are so many talented people out there, I felt honored to be a part of the crowd.

For the most part though, I stayed in my booth, we were right by the cafeteria so after lunch the booth was buzzing with activity! We had press and buyers come by and even some faces we recognize. Hmm, I think it was the painting that got everyone's attention as they walked by the booth!




Thank you to Sanj for taking the pictures (among soooooo many other things), check out more pictures from the show here. Thank you to Rohini, Sameet and Sangi for helping out as well!

I'm taking a trip to India in October to check in and can't wait for all the new sourcing opportunities there. We'll launch our new line of bedding and other exciting stuff at the next tradeshow so stay tuned for lots of exciting updates!

NYIGF Preview

I'm so excited about our new products, I just couldn't wait to post a little sneak preview. If you remember our bathroom ceiling mural, then these pillows will look familiar. Named after our apartment (number), we'll be officially launching the new luxury "4490" line at the NYIGF next week.

Here's a closeup view of the AMAZING artistry of zardozi embroidery. Dating back to the Mughal Empire via Persian influence, the thread is actually metallic!

If you're coming to the show, please come by and say hi, Handmade Lobby Booth 1D209, August 11-15 at the Jacob Javits Center. Check out the website for more information about the 4490 line. Hope you like!

It's almost July already?

I feel like I went to sleep last night in May. I can't believe how fast time is flying by, it's almost July already!

We've been very busy here but more on that later... Right now I want to share the latest news at OM home, we'll be exhibiting at the New York International Gift Fair this August 11-15 in the Handmade Section, Booth 1D-209!

This has been a long term goal for OM home right from the start. I remember when I first started my research way back in 2002, I walked the aisles of the NYIGF in wonderment and awe, both inspired and intimidated by the number of talented independent designers exhibiting.

So to actually be in the show now is such a thrill for me. Wow. We'll be launching some exciting new products there and we hope to see you!
