Most of these business owners work harder to make the business a success, and they want to offer their customers the best experience possible for a word-of-mouth and repeat orders. Handmade is ‘one-of-a-kind’ and it is always guaranteed to be a one-off. I love how they personalised the design with a stand out design which is totally different from the others.

These local artisans can be one of the medium that support our tourism as they produce unique products for the tourists to bring back to their home country. Most of these tourists would rather purchase unique local handmade products because they know the true value of these items. Besides, there are less chances that somebody else will have the same items.
