Something that bums me out a little bit when I'm traveling is how more and more "artisan" crafts/souvenirs are mass produced. When I was little, I lived in Puerto Montt, Chile and some of my family sold dried seafood and artisan goods, all handmade. The area they sold their goods at (Angelmo, cc @jpfraneto 👀) was full of artisans selling textiles, woodcrafts, jewelry, and all sorts of cool things. There's still a lot of handmade goods being sold, but you notice the mass produced stuff these days. I know that at the end of the day, it's a business and people do what they have to to make a living. Still, it feels like part of the charm is lost.
