Why Should You Support Handmade Brands

In the Era of fast fashion and big industries, small handmade businesses dare to dream. In this scenario is where we as customers should support those brands that create their products by hand and I will give you a few reasons why.

When you buy something handmade, you are supporting small businesses instead of large corporations. This strengthens the local economy and helps distribute wealth more fairly.

Large corporations want to keep their profits so they mass-produce, which creates more waste. This situation is the result of fast fashion where low quality goods are the main ingredient of the business cycle. Handmade businesses dare to make their products sustainable because there is less material waste. Scraps and leftovers are often repurposed to create new products. Also handmade products promote responsible consumption. Unlike mass-produced items, handmade products are limited and exclusively made. It’s very unlikely that you will see someone else with the same piece.

Through handmade businesses you can find higher quality products. Since fewer products are made, makers can focus on details and ensure that each item is crafted with care and precision. That’s why your product will last longer than products made from cheaper materials and less time spent to manufacture. Each piece is made with care. Every detail has a story and is carefully thought out to bring you a one-of-a-kind, hight-quality item.

Finally you get to know the person behind the product. Through social media o pop-up markets you have the chance to connect with the person who designed and crafted the item with their own hands - something truly special to be able to wear or use. You will be able to support someone’s dream and art. You’re helping that person live from their talent and passion. 

With this blog I want to tell everybody who has purchased my products through Simmoni’s website that I’m grateful for supporting my business and walking with me in this journey. 

XOXO,
