Independent supplier research for a US e-commerce seller exploring women’s handbags through a dropshipping model.
The research focused on identifying suppliers that could realistically support direct-to-customer fulfillment in the United States without the seller holding inventory.
Suppliers were compared across key practical criteria including product range, fulfillment model, inventory location, MOQ, shipping times, return policies, sample availability, pricing information where available, and e-commerce integrations.
The final output provided a focused supplier shortlist, side-by-side comparison, key limitations and risks, and recommendations on which options appeared most worth contacting and testing.

The interface combines editorial layouts with practical shopping functionality, including product collections, quick product access, product details, wishlist, customer account areas and order-related workflows.

Product collections and new arrivals, detailed product pages, product variants, wishlist, cart flow, customer account area, order tracking, saved addresses, profile management, responsive layouts and structured footer/navigation.
