ELI5: Why is hand-made stuff "better" than machine-made stuff?

A lot of high end suits and shoes brag that they're hand-made. Why is this better than machine-made, where the machine will do things precisely, while the man making it could make mistakes?

Machine-made generally means something that's designed for mass manufacturing. There are shortcuts in the design, because it has to be efficient to manufacture in quantity. The materials involved also have to be suitable for mass manufacturing and, ideally, inexpensive.

A good craftsman can do much better work. This involves skill, time, and generally better materials, because there's no point in wasting skill and time on inferior work.
