Languishing Crafts of the North – An Analytical Study

Abstract

Traditional knowledge, skill sets, artistic expression, and economic worth are just some of the ways in which the local community contributes to a destination's craft. Produce with a mechanized contribution may not qualify as craft due to the inability to tell artisans apart. Handmade goods are more costly than mass-produced ones, but they are also one-of-a-kind because of the little differences between each one. Donations of locally manufactured souvenirs, such as bamboo, cane, and wood crafts; handloom and loin loom textiles; paintings; destination-themed embroidered T-shirts; pulp and paper craft; jewelry; antiques; and so on are always welcome. Because of its sentimental importance, many visitors choose to bring home a few souvenirs from their trips.
