Why Handmade Products are Expensive?
                     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.
Let us have a look at some of the important factors that 
can make us realise that handmade products are worth 
their price.
1. Creativity and imagination
2. They are unique
3. It’s handmade and takes more time
4. Everything is done by the craftsmen
5. Materials are expensive
6. They are made by skilled workers
7. Handcrafted products are better
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.
It’s 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 home’s 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.
