Problem framing
Sourcing is broken for the brands.
Problems you discover too late
Timelines slip and bulk issues stay hidden until your launch date, budget, or order is already at risk.
The MOQ wall
You need 150 units. They want 3,000. The conversation ends there.
Factories you cannot fully trust
A polished profile can hide weak communication, missing credentials, or unverified claims.
How it works
Post your project.
Vetted factories come to you.

Earned performanceThe Club Standard
Factory vetting, made clear.
No vague “verified” labels. Every Club Standard level shows the checks behind the badge, so you know what has been confirmed before you request a quote.
The Club Standard publishes exactly what each level takes, and every quote wears its level openly.
Levels are re-reviewed regularly and displayed on every quote, so you know who you are dealing with before you commit a dollar.

FAQ
Questions before you source.
You stay in control of the factory relationship, pricing stays visible, and the Club Standard keeps accountability out in the open.
No. Matches are a head start, not an assignment. Browse the directory, shortlist who you like, and request quotes from any Club factory.
We stay involved through milestone check-ins and mediate in the factory’s own language when issues come up.
Most Club factories accept runs of 100-500 units per style. Some sample-friendly partners go lower.
No. We do not handle shipping or customs directly. We can introduce vetted freight forwarders, but logistics contracts stay between you and your partner.
Factories sign an NDA before onboarding. We never share your tech pack with factories you have not approved.
Yes. Some of our best factories love working with emerging designers on first runs.
You pay the factory charge plus the Club fee. The factory price and Club fee stay visible, so pricing remains transparent.
No. The guided brief asks the questions a factory needs before they can make fair sample and quote decisions.
Stop sourcing blind.
Join the waitlist and be first in line when we open matching. We personally handle factory matching, coordinate sampling, and stay by your side through your first production run.
