The magic of handmade

Our Mantra: Authenticity

Why touch-of-hand matters

Every curve, stitch and detail tells a story when it’s handmade. It offers the warmth of human effort and replaces the perfection of machines.

We live in a world that leans on automation. In such a world, the "touch-of-hand" reminds us of the beauty in slowing down and honoring the human spirit! For a creator, it is a way to infuse a part of themselves into their work.

At a museum or gallery, we often walk all the way up to a piece of art that has caught our eye. We try to scrutinize any evident brushstrokes or blend areas or textures of paint, because it feels grounding to witness effort.

A scribble or smudge on a perfect canvas instantly makes the work feel human. It builds endearment, and it reminds us of the person behind the masterpiece: someone who spent time and effort physically interacting with all of the elements to make it.

Even music albums and thank-you cards don't feel special until they're autographed or addressed by hand. Letters, messy hearts, things that embrace the touch-of-hand exude a special, authentic charm.

At BanaGloo, this authenticity is our heart and soul.
