Productivity tools and machinery killed all of that stuff off. You could make a case that couture clothing has many of the elements you say are missing. Embroidery used to be valued. It's really not anymore.

very correct.. I'm old enough to remember my city street in Chicago.. old world immigrants & 1st gen Americans with large families (post WW2). My city block had everything of what was needed.. grocery store, a near bakery, a seamstress, a shoe repairman a few blocks distance, every few weeks or so, a man on his bike, ringing his bell, sharpened knives & scissors. Even a firehouse. The grand parents, their ancestry.. the 'Old Country', were tradesmen in Europe, who brought their old world skillsets to America. The qualities were a given. I'm thinking WonderBread with it's plastic bags & ******* balloons logo, building strong bodies a dozen different ways', helped changed all that. American corporate commercialism.. the death knell to what was once good.
