How verification works
Every seller on our marketplace goes through a human-reviewed verification process before their listings go live. Here's how we keep it real:
- 1
Seller identity check
We verify each seller is a real person operating a legitimate handmade business, not a reseller or dropshipper.
- 2
Workshop documentation
Sellers provide evidence of their workspace and process: photos, videos, or other documentation showing how items are made by hand.
- 3
Anti-slop image screening
Every listing image is checked against known dropship and stock-photo databases. Suspicious listings are held for human review before publication.
Frequently asked questions
What craft supplies are specific to the Savannah area?
Savannah's most distinctive supplies include sweetgrass and pine needle for traditional Gullah-Geechee basket-weaving, Southern hardwoods (pecan, live oak, cypress), natural plant dyes from coastal botanicals, and fine art supplies serving the SCAD community.
Can I learn traditional basket-weaving and source materials in Savannah?
Some Gullah-Geechee artisans offer workshops in traditional sweetgrass basket-weaving and sell prepared materials. This is a living cultural tradition, and learning directly from practitioners supports the community and ensures authentic technique and materials.
How does Verified Handmade ensure craft supply listings are genuinely artisan-produced?
Every seller undergoes human review of their production process. For craft supplies, we verify that items are genuinely produced or curated by the seller — hand-dyed, hand-mixed, or hand-harvested — not simply repackaged wholesale goods.
