Cottage industry refers to **a system in which products were largely produced in homes**. This type of production typically involved artisans or skilled workers using basic tools and their own labor to create goods, often in small quantities, within a domestic setting. It was most common before the Industrial Revolution, as people created textiles, garments, and other handmade items in their homes.
