"Superior to virtually all Orientals made within the past fifty years, the carpets of Woven Legends prove that East and West can meet, that the past can be recreated, and that there is still hope for a gentle blending of ancient traditions and modern weaving artistry. Indeed, many 19th century pieces cannot hold a candle to them, either aesthetically or in weaving integrity."
James Opie, author of Tribal Rugs (The Tolstoy Press, 1992)

"There is no oriental rug production in the world that I believe in as I do Woven Legends. Their natural dye recipes are producing some of the most beautiful colors I have seen in new or antique rugs. For myself and my customers, their ever-changing,many and varied design repertoire have made them a one-stop shopping oriental rug production."
Alan Marschke, Alan Marschke's Oriental Rug Gallery

I believe Woven Legends carpets are the most exciting thing to happen in the rug world this century. Historians will write about George Jevremovic as one of the fathers of the 20th century rug renaissance. He proved that the concept of using quality materials with traditional designs and dyeing techniques, begun by DOBAG, was commercially feasible. His success drives a universal change in attitude that affects all weaving countries."
Pat Forbes, O'Bannon Oriental Carpets

"George knows what sells, and no one else is even close." John H. Levinson, Alex Cooper Oriental Rugs

"He is a person who understands the construction of a rug, and he understands the taste that people want to buy. He understands that it's not a rug people want - it's a look. It's the look you see when people bring in Architectural Digest, and show you a picture of a multimillion-dollar living room, where maybe one of the Bushes lives, and with 19th century Serapi rugs.They can't afford them, but that's what they want. Here George is giving you a new rug that gives them the look they want."
Excerpted from "Dyed in the Wool," The Philadelphia Inquirer, Friday, January 21, 1994

"I wholeheartedly applaud the enormous contribution made during the past decade by Woven Legends to the revitalization of rug weaving in areas of rural Anatolia and elsewhere in the Orient. Their unswerving commitment to the best - in materials, design (both traditional and innovative), and above all in the use of natural vegetal colours - as well as to the welfare and development of the communities in which their products are made, has transformed the mass market, bringing true quality, at affordable prices, into homes of countless thousands of rug users throughout the world.
