Source With Care

Choosing what to sell is only the beginning. Now you need to figure out how to bring it into the world—who will make it, how it will be made, and whether it will live up to the standards you want your brand to stand for. This is where sourcing comes in.

Sourcing isn’t about chasing the lowest price. It’s about finding partners who can deliver products with craft, quality, and reliability. The wrong supplier can sink your brand with delays, knockoffs, or poor materials. The right supplier becomes part of your story—helping you create goods that feel authentic, sustainable, and trustworthy.

In this module, you’ll learn how to avoid scams, compare local and global options, prioritize craftsmanship, negotiate fairly, test samples, and secure long-term reliability—all while keeping your first orders small enough to learn and adjust. By the end, you’ll know not just where your product comes from, but also that it’s something you can proudly stand behind.
