Hand made, however you spell or describe it, is a growing trend. I suspect it is a browsing category. The most important thing is that it is moved out of crafts which means craft materials.
If I were to have my way I would make it a flag on an item which could otherwise be in with the items of similar function so advanced search would include a tick box to allow someone to search for just hand made items which match their criteria.
As I sell very few of these items and this discussion feels increasingly acrimonious, this is my last post on the subject. I'm not in the mood for feeling attacked even if those who seem to be doing it don't mean it personally.
