Last year, the brand invited local children to design a handbag for Mother\u2019s Day. They couldn\u2019t have imagined that the Amor\u00e9 bag could come from the imagination of an 8-year-old named Maria. They could feel that it wasn\u2019t just a bag.

It is believed that craftsmanship, opposed to art, solely relies on learned skill and technique. But you remember how paint feels on your hands because of that memory of pressing it to paper, like how a mother will never forget receiving a handmade gift from her daughter. A machine can&#8217;t replicate that; it can&#8217;t feel. It can\u2019t hold the memories of learning a new craft or teaching someone else. It is the human hands that learn and remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5dc07a1ff5b5211e480580245b1fa2e2 wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the long history, many of the crafts struggle to survive, and so events like this enable them to show their artisan skills to many people.
