Turkish manufacturers who will get on a video call before the first order.

The story

Two suppliers took her deposit and stopped answering. She flew to Istanbul to find one of them and could not, because the company on the invoice had never existed. She now refuses to buy from anyone she has not seen and heard — which is the argument for this whole side of the product, made by someone who paid for it.

What they do

Buys: textiles, homeware, small appliances
