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 third-generation owner and been in this business since age 12 . In 2003 , he became the very first in his family to launch the familybusiness 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 ?
