✨The Roots of Handmade✨
👉Antiquity: From the first stone tools, to textiles, ceramics and jewelry, handmade was the only form of production.
👉Tradition: Each culture has developed unique techniques (embroidery, pottery, weaving) passed down from generation to generation, objects carrying stories and cultural identity.🫶
👉Modern Evolution (20th Century - Present):
Reaction to Industrialization: As mass production became ubiquitous, people sought to disconnect from uniformity, rediscovering the value of unique, personalized objects.
The emergence of online platforms: Sites like Etsy (and others) made it easier for small creators to connect with global audiences, turning hobbies into viable businesses.
🌺Why It's Popular Today?
🌸Originality: Each piece is unique and bears the imprint of the creator.
🌼Quality & Durability: There is often a greater attention to detail.
🌹Supporting the local economy: Many consumers prefer to buy from small businesses in their community.
🍁The Story Behind: People buy not just an object, but also the story behind it.
🩵Essentially, handmade, although old, has been revived as a cultural and economic movement, centered on authenticity, creativity, and human connection
