Many people wonder why handmade items are sometimes more expensive than what we find in stores. Expensive or not, a handcrafted object remains something that has been worked on with the soul and effort.
Here are some of the reasons why handmade objects can not be cheap:
• A good craftsman is always attentive to the entire creative process. The quality of his product is reputation.
• A serial object will never have the detail of a manually created object.
• The time for finishing a single piece is at least twice as long as it would have been produced in series.
• Exclusivity. The uniqueness of the object is one of the reasons why the handmade is preferred. Most times, even the handmade creator can not make two absolutely identical objects.
• The artisan does not save himself from the quality of the product, the most important thing is finding the right master for the object he created.
• When the object is made to order, you can intervene with changes to get the desired result.
• Serial objects, taken from factories along with thousands of identical objects, have nothing to say compared to hand-made objects, each of which has a history to say; each carries the artisan's mood, his thoughts and emotions, as well as a part of his life.
When ordering a handmade product, no one will force you to take something that does not fit your wishes.
A manually created object always has a soul, a character and a story;
so... do you still think that a manually made object is expensive?
