Why Handmade Products are Expensive?
Are you fond of buying handmade articles? Then
you must realise its real worth more than anyone
else. In the market you will find two kinds of
articles, one that is machine made and the other
are handmade. Both the handmade and machine made
articles have their own positives and negatives,
but I believe that handmade items add warmth to
your home and wardrobe that can never be
experienced with the products manufactured in
factories with machines.

Creativity and imagination
Creativity and imagination are used to create
handmade products and this cannot have a price
tag. It is a person's imagination and creativity
that decides what colour, design pattern or size
is to be used to make it look worthy to sell it
in the market. It is because of this reason that
beautifully imagined paintings or pieces of arts
are sold in lakhs of rupees and people happily
buy it because of its unparalleled beauty.

They are unique
Every piece of the handcrafted products is unique
in its own way. The little additions made during
the making of these products make each and every
piece unique and different from each other. Their
beauty lies in their uniqueness. As they are not
machine made this is why there can be a change in
the shade of the color or difference in design.
Apart from that, the sizes may also vary a little
that can make it quirky and more desirable than
the others. There is always a scope for
betterment when things are made with hands.

Its handmade and takes more time
Handcrafted products are expensive because of a
very important reason and that is they are
handmade. It takes more time to make them.
Machines are used for mass production and can
possibly make hundreds of pieces in the time a
craftsman finishes one product. A craftsman has
to do everything on their own and the whole
process takes a lot of time. Apart from that a
lot of labour and hard work are involved in
making these unique pieces of art. The blue
pottery is one such example that can add to your
homes beauty.

Everything is done by the craftsmen
The craftsmen are involved in each and every
phase of the making of man-made products. From
the selection of the material, thinking of the
design, the colours that go with them, to the
assembling of the product -- all is done by the
craftsmen. But here the work does not end as they
have to take care to bring them to the market.
For this, the craftsmen look after the marketing
of the product, designing the package, and
finding a place to sell them. It requires a lot
of hard work to bring these pieces of art to the
customers.

Materials are expensive
The materials used in the making of handmade
products are usually expensive as the craftsmen
do not buy cheap material to make it.  They buy
natural raw materials, vegetable dyes and best
quality materials for it. In addition to it they
do not buy these materials in bulk but in small
quantities that makes it more expensive as the
material bought in bulk costs less.

They are made by skilled workers
It is obvious that the person who is skilled is
paid better than unskilled workers. In the same
manner, a person who knows his art well and is
trained in it usually deserves to be paid more
because he can make it better than anyone who is
not skilled.

Handcrafted products are better
The handmade products are way better than the
machine-made goods in look, quality as well as
durability. These handcrafted products are worth
more because they are more authentic whether it
is using natural materials or natural colors. All
these points make it better and more
durable.  Some of the above-mentioned points
needed our attention to justify the price of
the handcrafted products.
