Woven Arts
Written by Shawna Jackson
Meet Muzaffer Savukduran, owner of Woven Arts home decor store nestled in the
heart of Rice Village offering customers
some the most beautiful hand woven items
from around the world! Muzzafer is a thirdgeneration owner and been in this business
since age 12. In 2003, he became the very
first in his family to launch the family-business in the U.S.
Woven Arts is in a class of its own selling attractive furniture, lanterns, hand-crafted jewelry, handbags, boots and other gifts; but their main specialty are Turkish,
Persian, Pakistan and Afghanistan oriental rugs, just to name a few. There a host
of other gorgeous rugs sold by Muzzafer, too! Each piece is not the same print
or pattern as any other rug sold. They are all unique and original pieces of art
woven by hand, when they sell, they’re gone.
Customers who buy from Woven Arts take full advantage of not only their high
quality oriental rugs purchases but they return to the store over-and-over due to
the high quality ‘guarantee’! Customers are so loyal because they appreciate the
‘full-service’ offered to them of repair, restoration and cleaning when they
need it for their rugs. Need your carpet picked up? It’s free if you’re inside the
Loop! Muzaffer says he “wants his customers to be happy.” Customers boast
highly on one unique element that keeps them committed and loyal to Woven
Arts and that is the option to trade their rugs for another when they have met the
criteria to do so! His customers know him as a friend, instead of a business man
who sold them beautiful merchandise. Impressive!
Woven Arts is able to sell high-quality merchandise at a very competitive price because they have removed the middle-man. The value and prices are not increased
but shared to existing and new customers alike, making this an attractive feature to
today’s customers.
There will be a warm greeting when you cross the thresh
of the store by Muzaffer and his amazing staff who is always ready and willing to offer you a cup of delicious
Turkish tea or coffee; show and share beautiful original
items throughout their store! We believe you will find
that there is no lack of authenticity at Woven Arts that
matches their quality service and prices as well.
Woven Arts is truly a local business with a global flare
where everyone can find exactly something that fits their
needs. Oh yes and by-the-way, they replenish brand new
and ‘original’ items every 3-months!! How awesome is
that?! Want a fantastic opportunity to shop for the holidays, birthdays and other special occasions? If so, may we
