I would like to understand some things :
-many brands of which we speak here on SZ, say that their products are hand-sewn.
I wish someone tell me in detail.
I ask for this help for various reasons:
1) I have seen many products/ many brands (some even use them for my personal look), and looking the seams, this is clearly made with a machine, and not by hand.
Some finishing touches (buttons etc.), is true are sewn by hand.
2)Many of these brands, are very small companies ... (no massification, market niche etc etc) ... it seems so impossible that they have a lot of tailors who sew everything by hand.
On the other hand, my grandmother was a seamstress, and she said me that to make a jacket sewing by hand (to make it very well) it takes at minimum two days.
So if we think of a niche production of 100 jackets ....for one person ... it takes 200 days ...
This is impossible ...
3) I did some research on the net .... and I saw that there are special sewing machines that reproduce the point of hand stitching ... and I wondered if these brands are using this machine ...
My basic question is: What mean for "a dress/shoes etc hand made"?
Thanks to all who help me..
