Why Buy Handmade?
There are so many reasons to buy handmade rather than only buying from high street chains, and in my opinion the following points are the most encouraging reasons to cross over to the world of handmade :
1) Much friendlier, more personal customer service
2) Original, unique and often one-of-a-kind designs
3) The artist behind the items really appreciates your custom
4) There is the real possibility that the artist will accept personal requests and create a custom item just for you...all you have do do is ask!
5) The artist often puts plenty of thought into packaging your purchase to make it more special and fun to unwrap
6) You are helping someone to carry on being able to do something they love
7) The quality is usually higher because of the heart, attention and care put into handmade products
8) There are items available for every taste and pocket
I really hope that you consider buying handmade in the future if you don't already - just think of the independent artists you are supporting all over the world!
