## Quick answer

We primarily curate through private estate sales and global travels.

## Detailed answer

While we don't always buy over-the-counter, we are always happy to see exceptional heritage pieces. Our curation process focuses on private estate sales and global travels to ensure the authenticity and unique history of our vintage clothing and bead collections. This approach allows us to maintain the high standards Courage My Love has upheld since 1975 in Kensington Market, Toronto.
