Why this trip exists

Canton Fair is huge. You do not need to navigate it alone.

This trip is designed to help product founders cut through the noise, understand supplier options, ask better questions and find the right manufacturing partners with experienced support beside them.

The Kristy Withers difference

The difference is what happens beside you.

Anyone can walk into Canton Fair. The value is knowing where to go, what to ask, what to avoid and how to tell whether a supplier is actually right for your product.

With Kristy, you are supported by someone with years of sourcing, factory communication and production experience. You get the benefit of on-ground knowledge, supplier support and real-world manufacturing experience while you are making decisions in person.

From past travellers

What women are saying.

"
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. Having the Source Haus team by my side helped me avoid countless costly mistakes and navigate the process with clarity and confidence.

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. Going to China with these wonderful women taught me to take my business seriously and that it IS viable and a real thing.
