artisanal goods
Small-batch handmade products
Artisanal goods are products made by skilled craftspeople using traditional methods rather than mass production.
The term suggests quality, authenticity, and human touch—artisanal cheese, artisanal bread, artisanal furniture.
Marketing has stretched the word thin; "artisanal" now appears on factory-made items claiming handcrafted character.
The genuine article involves small-batch production and individual attention to craft.
