How Tours Work
We provide tours to “trade only” showrooms in NYC.
Our tour days will be divided into two categories:
1. Touring and Browsing – Get to know the showrooms, take home some fabric or wallpaper cuttings or samples, or some photos of possibilities.
2. Targeted Buying – Once you know what you might want to purchase and are ready to order then the Targeted Buying tour is for you. Individual tours are available.
