Real results from the trip
In just one week, I found manufacturers for five products and gained insights, connections and momentum that would have taken months, if not years, to achieve on my own.Kate Purtle, Made to Move
Kristy makes anything seem possible. Nothing is ever a drama or too hard. Her can-do "anything is possible" attitude is infectious and I could hang out with her 24/7.Danielle Doyle
I couldn't recommend the Source Haus China sourcing trip more highly. If you're on the fence about going to China, my advice is simple: take the leap and DO IT! You absolutely will not regret it.Kiralyn, Sumner Lane
