That’s right, less than minimum wage, you read that right.‘But why?’ I hear you cry ‘I got a quote for a bag/set of dreads/shoes/jewellery/cake/artwork, and it was extortionate, it would only cost them ‘X’ amount in materials!’.The above is something that crafters and hobbyists and self-employed individuals selling handmade items encounter all the time. It’s not a fair comment to make and here’s why…When you buy an item in a supermarket or a chain store, you pay for (in most cases) a mass produced item, made in a factory, most likely overseas, which cost pence to make.When you buy from a crafter you pay for not only the materials, but their time, their skill, their experience, and most of all their love of what they do ensuring you get a lovely bespoke item.Let’s break it down a little. A small business making synthetic dreads for a living. They have to take into accounts their materials cost, their electric/water costs, their time (this is the big one), merchant fees if they take payment online, and also how much experience they have.If you have someone making dreads and materials cost them £30 for example, add around £5 for bills, and it takes them a total of 12 hours to make a set of dreads and they charge you £80, you’d think what’s wrong with that, that’s £45 profit. Yes, it’s £45 for 12 hours work which works out at £3.75 a hour. Would you work for that?A lot of crafters will take well over 12 hours to produce some truly exceptional work, and they are constantly met with ‘That’s too much’ comments when they give quotes.I am pleased to see that many trusted, well established, talented dreadmakers and crafters have now increased their prices to reflect the quality of their work. Lets stand by their decision, afterall, if they cant afford to live on what they earn, they can no longer make beautiful hair for you or I, and that would be a terrible shame ;
