Question about the rise of handmade garments over mass-produced fashion...

In my city, there's a clear move towards clothing made by local designers instead of big brands. One side praises the creativity and fit, but the other misses the ease and low cost of factory-made stuff. Where do you stand on this fashion shift?

Has my friend told you how her local-made jeans fit better than any store-bought pair?

Custom jackets and perfect-fitting jeans sound great... but isn't that a luxury for people with extra cash? A handmade coat here can cost a whole paycheck. Do you see this shift creating a bigger divide, where some people wear unique, lasting pieces and everyone else is stuck with fast fashion that falls apart?

Seeing @thomas.kai's post, my friend got a custom jacket she adores.
