Why Buy Handmade?

Okay, first of all, i took this article from Pledge Handmade website... I agree with the article and since i am also a handmade crafter, i think i should share this article with you :)

Why Buy Handmade?

Buying Handmade makes for better gift-giving.

The giver of a handmade gift has avoided the parking lots and long lines of the big chain stores in favor of something more meaningful. If the giver has purchased the gift, s/he feels the satisfaction of supporting an artist or crafter directly. The recipient of the handmade gift receives something that is one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can
be seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing.

Buying handmade is better for people.

The ascendancy of chain store culture and global manufacturing has left us dressing, furnishing, and decorating alike. We are encouraged to be consumers, not producers, of our own culture. Our ties to the local and human sources of our goods have been lost. Buying handmade helps us reconnect.

Buying handmade is better for the environment.

The accumulating environmental effects of mass production are a major cause of global warming and the poisoning of our air, water and soil. Every item you make or purchase from a small-scale independent artist or crafter strikes a small blow to the forces of mass production.

About Us

It's all about LOVE. I started this label with my boyfriend, Red, in July 2006, after years of exchanging cards with each other while studying in university. With an eye of quirkiness many can't find on the shelves, our friends started getting us to make cards for them. We eventually decided to form a proper label so people could place their orders. There are now cards for almost all occasions. Our label, Kekkon, means marriage in Japanese,named so to reflect our long term commitment to each other, naturally.
