BAKIT NGA BA MAHAL ANG HAND MADE PRODUCTS?
1.) 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝. 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.) 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞. There are no two exactly identical pieces can we create.
3.) 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭. The artist. The boss. The messenger. The photographer. The editor. The marketer. The packager. The all!
4.) 𝐑𝐚𝐫𝐞. Seriously, rare. Like how often can an artisan be in your nearest local stores? So rare!
5.) 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭. Newsflash, you're also buying the time, creativity, effort, endless research, endless practice and actual materials we use to create individual pieces, as well as the wasted pieces to get to where we are now today.

6.)Blood, sweat, pain, and tears ( kapag natutusok ng armature wire, ng needle tool at mahiwa ng cutter), SWEAT (mainit sa working area and mainit na delivery and shipping) and TEARS ANG PUHUNAN ( maiiyak ka na lang talaga kapag hindi mo magawa nang maayos ung design and details kasi wala ka sa kundisyon Ang ending.. uulit ka hanggang makuntento ka sa itsura sayang sa clay). Sayang na sa materials, at Isama mo pa ang backpain at headache habang ginagawa ung buong proseso. 😆😅✌️
So if u ask an artisans/handmade sellers again, "Bakit ang mahal naman niyan?ang liit lang naman", kindly read the whole statement again. 🖤
