Detailed Solution

In Victorian Britain, the aristocratic class and bourgeoisie class preferred handmade goods because handmade goods symbolised refinement and class.
The noble section of the class perceived materialistic values. The handmade products were carefully designed and had refined finishing. Handmade products were costly and could only be afforded by the upper class of society, so possessing a handmade product symbolised class. Machinery goods were sent to the colonies as they were cheaper and represented the anguish of people in the colonies. Still, these goods were not accepted by the upper and middle-class people because they had conventional and materialistic attitudes.
