artisanal goods
Artisanal goods are handmade or crafted items created using traditional methods, often by skilled artisans. These products emphasize quality, craftsmanship, and uniqueness over mass production. Examples include handcrafted jewelry, pottery, cheeses, and textiles. The focus is on attention to detail and individuality, resulting in items that often have cultural significance or a personal touch. Supporting artisanal goods typically means valuing craftsmanship and sustainability, as they are produced in smaller quantities with care, contrasting with mass-produced goods that prioritize uniformity and scale.
