We live in times of mass production. Everything we buy, from furniture, home décor items, clothes, fashion accessories and even cosmetics is made in series of hundreds samples. Taking care only for their profits, most of the manufactures don't really care about the actual quality and not to mention the uniqueness of the products they make and sell to the wide consumption audience. 

If you are a person that doesn't want to follow the conventional patterns of arranging the home or dressing, you still have an option – buying handmade products. Although handmade entrepreneurs are not so common as their corporate counterparts, luckily, there are still artisans who value their customers as human beings, not just as numbers that add up to their profit. In defense of handmade products, here are the five main reasons why you should buy handmade clothes, fashion accessories and home décor accessories.

  • Better Quality – Artisans dedicate more time and attention to making their products, which directly impact the quality of the products. Also, since they use materials in smaller amounts they usually choose the materials with the best quality, which is not the case with the mass production.
  • Originality – It is impossible for two handmade products to come out totally identical. Each of the products, an artisan makes has its own special characteristics and details which make it special and unique on its own way.
  • Unparalleled Customer Service – As we said before, the main focus of the handmade entrepreneurs is not put on profit, but on their customers. They value people as unique individuals, and do their best to make them satisfied with the handmade products they sell to them. It is simply impossible to make a comparison between the customer service provided by them, and the services provided by the big corporate entrepreneurs, because the difference is way to big.
  • Supporting The Artisans Community – The artisans community consists of talented and skilled craftsmen, who work hard to preserve the handcrafting culture and with that earn their living. By buying handmade products you support them and their work. In this way you indirectly contribute for preserving the traditional crafts, techniques and values. 
  • Environment Protection - One of the biggest pollutants of the environment we live in are the factories. They use a significant amount of energy and fuel and produce high amounts of waste that pollutes the environment and with that harms human's health. On the other side, handmade products are made under totally different, environmentally friendly circumstances.
