I sell handmade items for a living and many of my customers are repeat buyers, which is great! I ws curious,do any of you prefer handmade items, or would you rather have mass produced. Many people say that handmade is expensive,and you can get it cheaper mass produced, but I love buying and making handmade stuff because its better quality, you know nobody was being exploited in horrid conditions and more often than not,the piee is entirely unique! what about you?

I definately prefer handmade items but I cant always afford to buy them. While I know they are made better and I would like them more I have a budget to live on and that usualy decides what I can get. I try to buy handmade as often as possible. Every once in a while you can get great deals on handmade items too if you look hard enough.

I prefer hand-made items by far. They are usually better-made than mass produced items and you can see the care and thought that goes into them!

I prefer handmade. It has the personal touch, not to mention the quality is much much better.
Have a good day!

I prefer handmade most of the time. Depends on what it is I guess. I also make handmade items and sell them so I know I'd really like it if everyone only handmade stuff:)
flower arangements are one thing that has to be handmade.
The best part of handmade items is that there aren't usually 2 that are exactly the same, so when you buy a handmade item you can say it's very unique!

For me i proffered handmade, because i have feeling that handmade product are more reliable and more quality. That's why it always at higher price. The consequences also the output is not many or a lots. But nowadays people are more focus on quality, thus if possible to have the quality and quantity improve, that's perfect. If can't then can build up the brand like LV product and Lamborghini car, handmade and lots of supporter.
