Handmade

This value refers to items that are made by hand rather than by machine. It usually involves traditional techniques that don't rely on heavy machinery or mass production processes. There is greater control over materials and, thus, waste. It also supports skilled artisans and communities, which contributes to the preservation of traditional skills and local community support.
