Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. A few sips of tea in Beijing cost him $150 - and the "ancient tea ceremony" was invented on the spot.Every year hundreds of millions of travelers set out to experience a local culture, and most come home with a mass-produced imitation - often manufactured in a country far away. Interest in heritage has never been greater. Yet the artisans who actually carry these traditions remain shut out of the market, while the money flows to whoever can counterfeit authenticity most cheaply.Welcome to Authentic Fake is about that paradox - and about what can be done with it.Through his own encounters on the road - a staged tea ritual, a "family-made" bracelet sold at every other stall, a Prague souvenir labeled only in English - Davran Sharipov shows how mass tourism quietly replaces living craft with a templated attraction that looks the same from Amsterdam to Hong Kong. But he resists the easy lament. The same forces that erase craft, he argues, have also transformed how we see handmade things: in a world flooded with the identical and the machine-made, authenticity has become rare - and what is rare begins to be valued.From this shift the book develops its central proposal. Houses such as Hermes and Brunello Cucinelli have shown that craft can be built into the very architecture of a business - but only at prices few can afford. The challenge, then, is to make the same logic work beyond the luxury segment: traditional craft made economically viable through everyday demand rather than charity, and within reach of ordinary travelers.Part travel memoir, part market analysis, part blueprint, Welcome to Authentic Fake is for anyone who has ever wanted to bring home something real - and wondered why it was so hard to find. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
