What does “handmade” actually mean for Nepali handicrafts?

What does “handmade” actually mean for Nepali handicrafts?

In our workshops, “handmade” means each product is cut, stitched, felted, woven, or hammered by a human artisan — not stamped out by a machine. Specifically: hemp and cotton bags are sewn on treadle or foot-pedal sewing machines; felt products are hand-rolled from raw wool using soap and warm water (a process called wet-felting); singing bowls are hand-hammered from a seven-metal alloy; dream catchers are individually woven. Small variations in size, stitch density, or color tone are expected and are the signature of genuine handwork. Mass-produced “handmade-style” goods usually have perfectly identical seams — ours do not.
