( Quang Ngai Newspaper) - Currently, handmade items such as fabric flowers, crocheted stuffed animals, bags, wallets, leather watch straps... are being favored and sought after by many people. Many skillful young people have created many products with diverse designs to meet consumer demand.

Crochet products

Recently, knitting, embroidery and crochet products have appeared more and more diversely. Not only scarves, hats and shirts, but also decorations, shoes and handbags can be crocheted with durable and beautiful yarns. No need to search and order far, right in Quang Ngai City, there is a handmade address located in alley 121 Hai Ba Trung Street specializing in wool and yarn products to meet the needs of many demanding customers.

Many handmade knitting and crochet products are loved by customers.

Many items from crocheted flower bouquets, knitted children's clothes, handbags or dolls of all sizes are available. Customers can also place orders upon request. Ms. Tran Thi Nuong, owner of the knitting and crochet shop, said that each product is knitted and crocheted meticulously. Some products are made in just a few hours, but others take several weeks to complete. Many customers love handmade products, so they are willing to wait to own beautiful, quality products.

Not only in the city, in districts and towns in the province, there are also woolen yarn shops to meet customers' needs. Ms. Nguyen Thi Bich, in Chau O town (Binh Son) said, I like knitting and crocheted wool products, but in the past there were very few places selling them so I often had to order them from other provinces. Now in the district, there is a friend who specializes in making wool and velvet products with a variety of products such as decorative flowers, hair clips, hairpins, woolen animals... according to request. Therefore, I often buy knitting and crocheted wool products as gifts for friends, or to decorate my home.

The uniqueness of hand-knitted and crocheted products lies in their simplicity and rarity, containing all the passion of the craftsman. In addition, the items do not become flabby, discolored, or fuzzy, and are safe for users, especially children, so many customers are gradually turning to hand-knitted and crocheted products.

Knitted and crocheted wool products also cost from 70 thousand VND to 1 million VND per product, depending on the difficulty and uniqueness of the product.

Leather crafts

Leather is a familiar material for making unique handmade products. Currently, there are domestic leather products on the market, 100% handmade. Mr. Tran Cong Tien, in Nghia Lo Ward (Quang Ngai City) shared, "I really like handmade leather products because they are aesthetic, unique, and not inferior to branded products. All the items I often use such as wallets, watch straps, glasses cases and even car key covers are handmade leather products."

Leather products are hand sewn.

There are not many shops like in big cities, but handmade leather goods are still popular with customers in the province. The leather sticker shop on Quang Trung Street (Quang Ngai City) is one of the places that designs handmade leather goods. From handbags, wallets, belts, phone cases... all leather products at the shop are meticulously designed and sewn entirely by hand. Not only that, the items are also engraved with the owner's name according to the owner's request. Shop owner Le Quang Trung said that handmade leather products require the craftsman to be skillful, meticulous in every detail and take a lot of time. At the same time, leather materials are also quite expensive. Therefore, the price of handmade leather items is also quite high.

Currently, many customers in the province love products made from cowhide. Depending on the dyed, painted, and decorated products, the price ranges from 200,000 to 700,000 VND/watch strap, 400,000 VND - several million VND/wallet, 1 - 3 million VND/handbag depending on the size... Customers who love leather products believe that the money spent to own each product is worth it because of its durability and aesthetics, which become more beautiful over time.

It can be seen that the increasing preference of customers for handmade products is inevitable nowadays, because the trend is always to look for new products that are no less durable.
