Lately, I’ve been wrestling with a question that might resonate with others here: how do you appreciate the value of handmade goods while still being drawn to the polished appeal of mass-produced luxury items? As a rock climber, I love gear that’s built with care and durability, but I also see the convenience and sleekness of factory-made products.
I’m curious how do you navigate that tension? Do you lean toward supporting small artisans, or do certain mass-produced items win you over? Maybe there’s a sweet spot where both can coexist in your life. Would love to hear how others strike that balance!
