Mass Produced Or Made By Hand? Why Handmade Is Better

We spotted this leather strawberry charm from Anthropologie... it’s cute, for sure and it definitely follows the trend of playful bag accessories. But when we compare it with our handmade crochet version, the difference becomes clear in more ways than one.

While one is factory-made and designed to keep up with fast trends, the other is crafted slowly by hand, with care and intention in every stitch. The texture feels different, the details feel more personal. And the overall piece carries a sense of individuality that is hard to replicate.

It is not just about how it looks, but about how it is made and what it represents. One is produced, the other is created. And that difference is something you can truly feel.

While theirs is machine-made from vegan leather, ours is crafted stitch by stitch using traditional crochet techniques. Each piece is created by hand, with time, patience, and attention to detail guiding every step of the process.

This means no two charms are exactly the same. Small variations in texture and shape give each one its own character, making it feel more personal and one of a kind. It is a slower way of creating, but one that allows quality and intention to come through in every detail.

Every one of our bag charms is made with care and rooted in slow fashion values. They are designed to be appreciated, kept, and worn over time, rather than quickly replaced. It is not just an accessory, it is a reflection of craftsmanship and a more thoughtful way of making.
