Composed of 手作(てづく)り (handmade) + 感(かん) (feeling; sense). The 感(かん) suffix is highly productive in Japanese and attaches to many words to mean "a sense of ~." Whether the handmade feel is positive or negative depends on context — for food or crafts it is usually charming, while for websites or presentations it can imply a lack of polish.
