It still works depending on what kind of item you’re looking for. Specific tea blends, cold process soaps, incense dipped to order, and specific kinda of pottery have all been successful in my getting handmade stuff I want. What kind of stuff are you looking for?
- jzl 9y agoI was gift shopping, and was just browsing topic by topic. In the past I had done so and stumbled across all sorts of amazing handmade items without much digging at all. Look at the landing page for "Home & Living" and you'll see what I mean: https://www.etsy.com/c/home-and-living?ref=catnav-891 https://www.etsy.com/c/home-and-living?ref=catnav-891 I could see how some specific topics might still have more handmade items than not.
- ghaff 9y agoTo my eye, most of the items on that page look pretty mass-produced or mass-produced + a personalization step. There's nothing wrong with that. I sometimes buy mass-produced "craftwork." Just because a wind chime (or whatever) is produced in a factory at some scale doesn't suddenly make it ugly. And it's not like the average thing being sold at a genuine craft fair is attractive. That said, I have too much stuff and I just tend to be uninterested in buying more even if there's nothing wrong per se with individual pieces.
