Is it bad to buy kandi?

Ya, I made an account just to ask this, kinda dumb I know lol

I'm a bit of a new scene kid (Not sure about being a kandi kid but at the same time I'm not familiar with the differences) and whenever my friends ask if I made my kandi and I tell them I bought it they normally look at me weirdly, is it like, looked down upon to buy kandi? I want to start making my own but I love the ones I bought so I'd hate having to throw them out to avoid being a poser : (

Edit: Should've mentioned this but I buy my kandi from Etsy, lol

It’s good to buy Kandi from other people ESPECIALLY if it’s supporting a small business!!

i think if you're not buying from a company and it's someone that's apart of the community then it's definitely okay! plus it's nice to help out the seller (:

not bad!!! As long as who you’re buying from isn’t a bad person or a corporate. Someone who is familiar and follows plu

Not everyone has the time, money, or ability to make kandi. And maybe some people just don’t want to buy a ton of beads if they only want a bracelet or two.

There will always be people who will say yes, but I personally don't agree with that. Sometimes people like the aesthetic of kandi but don't know how to make it themselves, so buying it from someone who knows how to make it is a valid option. In the early days of this site, I sold a few cuffs to people who were desperate to own cuffs but didn't know how to make them, and who insisted on paying me for them (I think it was about $10/cuff). I put just as much love and care into those cuffs as I did for the ones that I gave away at raves.

But yes, please don't buy commercially-produced kandi like from Hot Topic etc. It has more meaning if someone has made it by hand. You don't want a piece of machine-made kandi that thousands of other people have. That's just a bracelet.
