"Unbelievable, isn't it? That these days there are still those who hand-dye their own fabric."
The young man nodded solemnly in agreement.
In the present time, manual cloth dyeing is indeed a difficult concept to comprehend. Ever since the arrival of the "From Birth to Death, Services Delivered Home" V.E Company, fabric produced using traditional handcraft techniques has become increasingly hard to find in the market, whether judged by output or cost-effective pricing. Hand-crafted products are unable to compete with the industrialized assembly line's mass-production of inexpensive goods. Coupled with other factors, everything currently sold on the market is either manufactured by V.E or is deeply connected with the V.E Company.
