I was thinking that as we watched too. I’m praying for them and all of Gaza.

This is so heartbreking😞

I understand what you mean and yes it's a bit insulting, as a small business owner myself, i can confirm it's a pain in the a*s when a customer comes out of nowhere asking for a discount with no justified reason, especially when they're buying only 1 single item and it's cheap already. They make me laugh, and i suggest them buy 2 and they'll get a discount. But many countries in Asia, Middle East, South America (where they have poor areas with shops in the street, especially India) they created the haggling situation themselves. It's because they don't put price tags on display. They come up with a price on the spot, depending on who you are. Sometimes they charge much more if they think you're unfamiliar with real prices. And if you're not interested they start offering lots of solutions and discounts, they drop the price significantly and become persistent. Which is fine, they just want to sell afterall. But in my opinion a lot of things would be fixed with a price tag on display. People haggle less when there's a price, they don't feel scammed and they don't have to worry about overpaying. Customers have some sort of ''respect'' towards the seller, if the prices are already set. It's much easier to work with for both sides, and the seller's profit would remain the same. Better to sell 10 products at a standard price, then selling 5 products for much more, and 5 products for much less. No need for extreme haggling, and no risk of customer loss and disrespect.

I agree

@@twentytwo138 : Amen!!!

@@twentytwo138 You're correct and that's a point I missed; I've learned that if I do not see a price, I walk away (years of lessons learned) and do not give them the time of day. Not my fault if they're offended, as you stated, they should've attached a price tag. I wish you the best in your business. Shalom

Alot of people dont know how much work goes into handmade products..I do know!😉🕉

Agree

They are like that because the live in a society that hasn't become spoiled like ours. They haven't become lazy like us. I personally wish our society would go back towards the more basic life these people live. Most westerners would see that as going backwards. But I would see it as a move forward. I guarantee we would have a happier society.

I could watch them all day myself. Music is not to loud and you can understand what she is saying Kudos too you.

When you take hold of a object a craftsman has spent hours working on you can really feel it the thing has a different weight to it

I was thinking pretty heartbreaking...but ok.

Same

@@nodnarbrhoades9095 Why heartbreaking?

It is ironic that the man who preserves the "tarbouche" tradition has the same name as the one who forbid it's use. There is a very nice novel by Robert Solé about a family of fez makers, called "Le Tarbouche".

I enjoyed the sign language for "Badge of Honor". Are you from the family of the Quantum Leap producer?

That Fez maker wasn't hanging around either! Usually in these documentaries they show how careful and painstaking the old crafts are - but he was as deft and quick as they come!

His history putting this in the ownership of the Greeks hands as the first may be questionable.

I've got interest in investing but I'm afraid of doing it on my own to avoid losses,

Thanks for the amazing recommendation it will help a lot

A friend that I referred to her just received €61,050 profit after 6days of investing.... I became jealous.. Lol

I'm not here to converse for her but to testify just for what I'm sure of,

I've never heard or seen any of her clients complain of lost....I think she's just too perfect.

You're experiencing human history my friend.

Weapon industry and ambitious rulars of world dragged these people in to unprofitable time

Then follow tradition which i do too.

You just discover theres more world than US... welcome! Americans mind... 🤦🏼‍♀️

@@ALiCiA1697 Why do you talk like Americans are dumb when they're responsible for 75% of the innovation that drives society? You know, like the website you made this comment on, the internet that let you post it & the electricity that powers your device.

He’s dropped out of the public eye, it seems, back into obscurity: however, it seems Nasser is still alive and still making fezzes, as he was mentioned on an Etsy store that sells his fezzes worldwide.

beautiful?

@@zoiuduu don't be cynic, zoluduu. The adjective is symbolic.

@@Bzcenci812 ok. sorry

It told you how to buy from them in the video with each.

@moon_bones hmmm gee you really helped me out coming in clutch with an "answer" one year after the fact 😂 thanks but i already found them

probably hamas and their terrorism

Beautiful 😊

Nice. Here in Peru also.

Yess my grandma had them. They were beautiful! They were white and the exact same shade of sky blue the titlemaker in the video was using.

Possibly contact Business Insider who partook in the makin of this Documentary. in order to possibly locate these talented Weavers; & help these woman find a solution on how to draw up a website for themselves; so they can skip the middle man, & get PAID WHAT THEY DESERVE. 🤨

You said exactly what I felt

The first Man in Asia? First Man where?

@@tru-shushu.8703 The Tile Maker from Egypt

@@Dinaciety I loved him the first time I saw him and again this time. He has so much passion for his craft and love for sharing it. I really hope that this method of tile making lasts a long time.

Ok racist

@@tqco6877 lmao what ? u ok buddy

It's quite fragrant, a lot of people can't stand the smell. The process of finding good Feni is really fun, though

I got stuck on the bit where he put the dirty boots straight into the fruit. I'm glad they distill it later 😅

Very true! I was looking at a lot of these and thinking if they only put their products on the internet they would make a killing! Ive seen it myself. For example some woman went to Mx and on her way back to the states she recorded this man that sits and makes u hand made jewelry with ur name etc. She spoke to him and got his story on video. She uploaded it and it got so many views n thousands of people wanted to buy from him. She made a gofund me n she gave him $10,000 and gave him a notebook full of people who wanted orders. Enough work where he wouldn’t have to b sitting outside on the street anymore. They helped this man in the most incredible way. Ive also seen many examples like this where someone puts peoples work online and it takes off. Now a days its popular to be “ethnic” and people are buying up all types or artesanias. I have no doubt if someone were to facilitate a way for people to order from them they would all benefit greatly.

@Watch Hill~ The only problem with them moving their business to America for better profit is that most of these materials that are needed &/OR used in making all of these extremely beautiful items are only found in & around their specific region of the world, so they would not have access to those items if they moved over here to America, especially the things that the artist personally go out &look for to collect to make their certain creations like the specific clay, dirt, flowers, etc... to make such beautiful pottery, painted tiles, colored fabric, etc... or the specific type of certain trees that are needed in order to make that beautiful paper & also the "Feni" liquor from Cashew fruit, and those are just a few examples but TBH... you are ABSOLUTELY correct that most Americans DEFINITELY will pay TOP DOLLAR for such AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL & VERY PRECIOUS ITEMS that we consider TREASURES, ESPECIALLY with them being 100% AUTHENTIC, for sure!! Well I know that I would @ least, that's for darn sure!! 😉

@@floridafarmingfamily9955 In large, most of them would benefit greatly simply by finding a way to market their items in the American market while staying where they are. A few of them, such as the bone carver, could easily move their trade to America and continue on either as well or better than before but, as you pointed out, most of them would need to stay where they are in order to perform their trade. Imagine how much the life of the tile maker would change if he were to get a handful of contracts in America? In just my own limited experience I have seen tile ranging up to $500 per tile! The tile maker is selling his hand made tiles for around $40 each. Even adding in freight and taxes, that's still well in the range where they would sell here, if only people were aware of him. I think it's sad that trades like the tile maker and bone carver (etcetera) are dying out when the western market would easily support it.

Something about your post made me think of Philip K Dick's novel The Man in the High Castle, if you haven't read it I think you'll enjoy it

I would love to purchase some of his tiles! The colors are so beautiful. He’s truly a talented artisan.

@Dean That takes a great deal of mental fortitude in any generation. I reject your assertion.

The problem is that most, if not all, of these artists have no way of marketing their crafts online. They don't have computers, some don't even have electricity because it's too expensive, plus they don't have anyone to run/setup a website, nor do they have the money to pay for someone to do so. I'm like you, yes, it would be great & would help their bottom dollar sales, & I would certainly buy from them, but unfortunately it's just not feasible.

Its business insider lol what do you expect

well most of these crafters don't sell online.

@@notbeingcreativern6152 true, but a part of me is like...cmon business insider surely you can purchase a bulk amount to help give these people a boost or help them grow just enough so tap foreign markets surely that would be mutually beneficial

Do you even have half an understanding of the logistics required for something like one of these cement tiles to get to you? These people are on etsy. Nor do they have the production capacity to satiate the trend based American market.

My guy is in a hut but you think he has an online shop...shows how sheltered an how little you have traveled

There are also proper techniques and chemicals for those who restore headstones.

LOL.

Find 4 rubber round rubber bumpers and attach them with E600 to the bottom of the 4 corners. You could at least use one as a hot-plate. A small amount of tiles can be made into a beverage tray.
