Dear Colleagues and Friends,
who migrated to the US after the 1979 revolution in
recent terrorist attacks and should consider its potential
our own newest member Surya.
As 2015 draws to a close and we prepare for a
new year, one cannot ignore the turmoil created by
consequences. Amidst legitimate concerns regarding
the safety of our country, there is a very real danger
that we, as a nation, will forget our humanity and the
very openness that made us great by closing our gates
to immigrants and refugees.
Our country was founded—
Iran. They were followed by Afghanis and most recent-
ly by fine Indian families including one good example,
The US is the strongest and most prosperous
nation on earth. Do we need—and is it in our best inter-
est—to slam the door on families in need (and who
could have the next Steve Jobs among them)?
Let us hope that 2016 will
see some resolution of the crisis,
and truly would not exist—without
with more international cooperation

the centuries. Indeed, with the

remember that Steve Jobs was in fact the son of an
immigrant—as were so many other business leaders
and innovators who made the U.S. great.
Our own industry, in particular, owes its existence
to the passion, talent and expertise of immigrants. I’m
young enough and old enough to remember when our
industry’s major importers and retailers were great
families of Armenian heritage that had migrated to the
U.S. in the early 1900’s. Today, many of our industry’s
most successful companies were founded by Persians
ly. Our community of rug importers, wholesalers and
retailers, is large enough and yet small enough to know
together to help other countries in times of need. Let us
hope that as a nation we can do the same.
Closer to home, we hope to see you all during the
upcoming trade shows. Historically, these are the
biggest and most exciting on our industry’s calendar.
We kick off with Atlanta (January 13-16,) followed by
Surfaces (January 20-22) and Las Vegas (January 24-
28). They promise to have a truly wonderful array of
innovative new products that will delight you and your
customers.
Wishing you all the best for a happy, healthy and
peaceful New Year,

We Clean
Valuable Rugs
“Never clean this rug”
was good advice when traditional rug
washing was your only option.
Revita is not traditional rug washing.
Revita revitalizes rugs, purging them
of dirt, bacteria, dust mites, allergens,
stains and odors.
No harsh chemicals. In fact, Revita
removes the toxic residue left by
previous rug cleaners and gently
strips away the brittle calcium
deposited in your rug by the well
water they used.
A revitalized rug is softer, richer
and healthier than ever before.
Utterly clean.
You’ll smile when you see and feel the
difference. Revita is a new technology
using ultra-purified water and purely
organic additives to restore the life
and vitality of area rugs, even the
most delicate, antique silk Persians
and Orientals.
Miraculously, Revita costs
about the same as traditional
rug washing. But technology is
always like that, isn’t it? Giving us
safe, affordable solutions that were
impossible only yesterday. Learn more at
revitaRUGS.com
or call us at 855-573-8482
PS
– Patching, weaving, re-dyeing and
re-fringing are performed daily by our master
conservators. Your rug is in expert hands with
Revita. And our drivers and estimators
are happy, friendly and college educated.
What a company!

EBISONS HAROUNIAN IMPORTS announced
the creation of its new division called Harounian
Modern which will specialize in designing, manufacturing, importing and distributing contemporary and
modern hand knotted and hand tufted rugs. “We have
been known as a traditional house of rugs over the
years but our diversity and recent enhanced involvement in creating rugs with modern designs necessitated the establishment of a new division that would
handle all the various aspects of this segment of our
business,” Harounian stated. “Due to this expansion
we would require larger showrooms and hence our
impending relocation to larger quarters.” For more,

this guide. The clothbound, two-volume boxed set
features over six hundred entries of historic carpets,
each with an accompanying photograph and informa-
tion about the history, location, technique, coloration,
size, and more of carpets produced around the world.

FEIZY and House Beautiful partnered to showcase
the magazine’s top five fall colors. In the September
Color Issue, House Beautiful unveiled this season’s
hottest hues: Persimmon, Ochre, Berry, Indigo and
Oyster. And, in a unique collaboration, Feizy worked
with the magazine’s editorial team to select rugs in a
variety of styles in each colorway to feature in the
Feizy fall 2015 catalog.
“We couldn’t be more excited and honored
to work with the wonderfully talented and respected
team at House Beautiful,” said Leah Feizy, executive
vice president of Feizy. “We want to provide a more
editorial approach to shopping our catalog, and this
partnership delivers an exceptional experience to our
customers who trust and identify with the styles,
trends and colors curated by House Beautiful.”
CAPEL RUGS has received a Gold Davey Award

India, and Central Asia. Covering several key facto-
ries for each entry, the encyclopedia is meant to guide
the reader into the various factors that distinguish an
antique carpet’s origin and its market value priced for
its artistry. Compiled over the past five decades
through extensive research, The Encyclopedia of
Antique Carpets is the first collection of its kind for
carpet collectors, merchants, and anyone interested in
learning more about antique carpets and the cultural
heritage of one of the oldest forms of artwork. Copies

Kathryn Scott
“If I can’t have a handmade rug,
I would rather not use one at all!”
As soon as you step into her beautiful Italianate 19th-
century Brooklyn Heights brownstone, you know that tradi-
tion with a playful modern twist plays an important role in
Kathryn Scott’s interior design. It’s no wonder that oriental
and decorative rugs are a key ingredient in her interiors—
an amalgam of influences ranging from the contemporary
to French antiques and Chinese art—where artistry, craftsmanship, and sustainability are paramount.
Introduced to handmade rugs by her Texas grandmoth-
er when she was 15 and coached by her mother, an avid col-
lector, the designer has always used them in her work which
takes her all over the country and further afield including to
Paris and Shanghai. “If I can’t have a handmade rug, I
would rather not use one at all!” states Ms. Scott who began
her career as an artist and is married to Gu Wenda, the

THE NEW CREDIT CARDS:
Chipping Away At Your Retail Risk

Now, businesses throughout the United States are
converting from the familiar magnetic strip cards to
the higher-tech payment standard. This newer system
relies on readable plastic rectangles—chips—embed-
ded on the card’s face; the new format cards are
known as Smart Cards, chip cards, and EMV cards

billion of that total is in the United States, even
though the U.S. accounts for only one-third of all card
transactions, globally. That large share of credit card
fraud is caused mainly by the nation’s reluctance to
switch to microchip technology, according to experts.
Thieves have been glad to skip countries with more
secure payment systems. Instead, they focus on the
easiest targets, especially the U.S. and its magnetic
card system, says Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance, a New Jersey-based
association of banks and payment companies.

criminals with counterfeit cards will go to these catejewelers or antique dealers. Merchants in these spe-
cialties who have not upgraded are at especially high
risk, Mr. Vanderhoof cautions.
How Chip Cards Protect Retailers
Chip cards give every transaction its own unique
code, so that they’re providing advanced in-store
security. These EMV cards will deter thieves who use
stolen account numbers to create counterfeit cards.
Smart Cards are much more difficult to copy or coun-
terfeit. What if the card data and one-time transaction
ing cardholder names and account numbers, the hackaccount numbers by using counterfeit card readers,
called “skimmers.”
However, if the hackers at Home Depot or Target
had collected data from chip cards, they could not
have used that information to create fraudulent credit
cards. “Because of that unique security code for each
transaction, if payment data is stolen and reused, the
card issuer would recognize a copy of the transaction.
It would get flagged as an invalid card, and authorization would be rejected,” Mr. Vanderhoof explains.

Switching to a new credit card technology does
carry a cost, Mr. Vanderhoof acknowledges. The cost
will vary with the retailer and the existing payment
infrastructure. “Many merchants lease or rent terminals from their payment processor. The processor
could write a new contract or addendum, and provide
the new equipment. But if a merchant’s payment system is integrated with their own in-store systems,
including point-of-sale, it could cost more and
involve other players and suppliers.”

not yet accept chip cards, each Smart Card also has a
to use an older card.
Progress of the Conversion Process
Shifting the world’s largest credit card market
from magnetic to microchip is a massive, gradual
process. Among retailers, the Smart Card Alliance
predicts that roughly 40% of payment terminals will
have been upgraded to accept chip cards by the end of
2015.
The nationwide conversion process began
slowly. By the end of 2014, approximately 1.2 billion
credit, debit and prepaid cards had been replaced by
Smart Cards. The pace became faster after major card
networks announced their October, 2015 target.
Some experts predict that it will take until the end
of 2018 before nearly all U.S. cards have been con-
verted to chip cards. So far, the transition has been led
by major banks such as Chase, Citibank and Bank of
America. These institutions have switched substantial
numbers of subscribers to Smart Cards, including all
their co-branded airline and hotel reward cards. In the
U.S., magnetic stripes are expected to remain on cred-
it cards for several years, until all merchant locations
have replaced their older terminals.
Some types of credit card fraud can still happen
after all the magnetic strips have been replaced. Smart
Cards cannot prevent fraudulent purchases made online, over the phone, or by postal mail. These types of
“card-not-present” transactions do not generate their
own secret security codes. Nor can chip card technology stop thieves from making purchases with a lost or
stolen card. Hopefully, that type of fraud will be
deterred by requiring each cardholder to enter a
Personal Identification Number (PIN) as another way
to authenticate a purchase. A PIN cannot be faked, but
a signature can.
Summary
Even though a Smart Card is not perfect, your store
will benefit from making the conversion to the chip
card. It is important to follow all the steps to complete
the transition, to improve your business security and
protect your customer.
