Bakit nga ba mahal ang handmade products?
1.) ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ ๐๐ฒ ๐ก๐๐ง๐. Handmade products are supposed to be expensive because we just don't resell, and it's not mass-produced, meaning, we don't use machines and we are not machines! Every product you get from an artisan is made with love. We remember every single pieces you have ordered from us!
2.) ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ช๐ฎ๐. There are no two exactly identical pieces can we create.
3.) ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ง ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐ ๐ข๐ญ. The artist. The boss. The CEO. The messenger. The photographer. The editor. The marketer. The packager. The all!
4.) ๐๐๐ซ๐. Seriously, rare. Like how often can an artisan be in your nearest local stores? So rare!
5.) ๐๐จ๐ฎ'๐ซ๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ. Newsflash, you're also buying the time, creativity, effort, endless research, and actual materials we use to create individual pieces, as well as the wasted pieces to get to where we are now today.
So if ever you ask your friends and other artisans/handmade sellers again, "Bakit ang mahal naman niyan?", go back to this post and let yourself be aware! Artists, hands up!
