Very true....if you want craftsmanship, you have to pay for it.
This is not a knock-off...it's hand-made, carefully thought out and, whatever else might be said...pretty original and lovely. New and original work doesn't come cheap, when made and bought in twos and threes and by the dozens, not the thousands.
The real question is what we really expect: design and love or cheap prices and low quality.
Don't get me wrong...i can't afford it either. And I don't have 100 man-hours to make it myself. So paying someone $60 an hour to make something beautiful that will last for decades is not insane.
