Jill Zarin Signs License with Guy Ahmed/Sky Home
Former Real Housewife of NY will design home collection for leading Pakistani mill
New York, NY – TV personality and entrepreneur Jill Zarin has signed a licensing agreement with Gul Ahmed/Sky Home USA to launch a luxurious line of home textiles.
The former Real Housewife of New York star and founder of Jill Zarin Home will design an exclusive collection featuring bedding, sheets, towels, blankets, throws, decorative pillows, and more. Drawing inspiration from her passion for interior design and traveling, the collection will embody elegance and comfort at an affordable price. The line will be available across department stores, big box retailers, and the off-price market.
“I’m beyond excited to partner with Gul Ahmed/Sky Home,” said Zarin. “The Home textiles category completes the vision I’ve always had for my brand. When my husband and I ran Zarin Fabrics, I was always helping customers design products with our fabrics. Now, I can share my expertise, love of travel and the luxurious feel of hotel bedding ta much larger audience.” She added that Gul Ahmed’s sustainability story was a deciding factor in selecting a partner.
Jim Cox, president of retail at Sky Home USA, expressed his excitement, saying, “We’re thrilled to add Jill Zarin to our portfolio. She brings an incredible sense of affordable luxury to her designs, blending indulgence with everyday comfort. Her involvement in our merchandising strategy will be hands-on—don’t be surprised if buyers hear from her directly!”
The September market will feature a soft launch of the collection, inspired by Zarin’s coastal home in the Hamptons, her luxurious Florida residence, and her passion for global travel.
Zarin’s home décor journey began in 2016 with the launch of Jill Zarin Home, which offers rugs, furniture, tabletop décor, and candles both online and in-store. In 2020, she and her daughter Ally Shapiro co-founded Jill & Ally, a brand centered on spirituality and wellness.
With a social media following of over 3 million, Zarin’s audience consists primarily of women aged 30-60 who are passionate about reality TV, fashion, and home décor. Zarin recently wrapped filming Greatest Reality Star of All Time (G.O.A.T.) for Amazon Freevee and has additional TV projects in the works.
