Administrative Assistant

Home City, Inc. represents three generations of experience with the highest quality fine textiles. What began as a small tailoring operation became an international business bringing the best in luxury fabrics to both customers and retailers. We slowly expanded our products to include sheets, comforters, pillows, towels, robes, and duvets. And throughout the years we’ve successfully maintained the best pricing in the industry.

Home City, Inc. is headquartered in Edison, NJ, but we operate from other offices in the United States, as well as in Egypt, China, and India. And while we have a lot more than a single sewing machine these days, we’re still driven by the artistry and craftsmanship my mother fell in love with all those years ago.
