Hand crafted products are beautiful unique pieces of art that are crafted with love, care and incomparable skills. The originality and authenticity found in handmade goods are truly admirable. The artsy designs of the handcrafted décor pieces accentuate, and beautify your homes in an alluring manner and yet somehow, most people choose mass produced goods over these authentic pieces. Hand crafted products are overlooked by many. Local people fail to see the magic of a handcrafted piece of work over cheap, mass produced, manufactured alternatives that carries no sense of inspiration. We often wonder why tourists spend their money on unnecessary handmade goodies but little do we know these expats and tourists are spending on something so priceless.

Each handmade item has their own individual story and carries the finger print of the maker that adds charm and appeal to our homes. The amount of love, time and energy devoted to a handmade product exceeds that of a manufactured one, which makes it more special and priceless.

When you buy handmade products you aren’t buying something that other one million people may have. You are buying something unique and something that assures you great quality. The nature of handmade goods means that there are fewer of them, so whatever you’re adding to your home is as unique as you are. The quality of handmade pieces is generally very high. Most are the result of an enormous amount of the creativity, time and skill. Furthermore, you contribute to the promotion of the exportation of Nepalese handicrafts, motivate and support handicraft producers, from different parts of the country.

Why handicraft items not preferred by local Nepalese?

• Misconception of Nepalese people about the high price and the quality of the items.

• Not being able to connect to the products as the locals take these items to be targeted towards touristic purpose.

• People are more inclined towards western products. They lack to comprehend the actual value of locally produced handicraft products.

• Promotions about the crafts only prioritized to exporting abroad not to the local Nepalese market.
