Those Who Believe in a Beautiful World"
Bel Esprit is a virtual online showroom that is committed to "promoting new and emerging designers and helping retailers discover new collections and established brands not shown in their regional market."
They provide "practical assistance to designers in the business of fashion - marketing, sales, distribution - so designers can pursue their creativity while building a commercially successful business."
Bel Esprit's mission is to promote "fashion with a conscience."
Their virtual showroom welcomes companies who observe "ethical principles, fair trade and fair labor practices, ecological and/or fair trade materials, or support social and environmental causes through donations of profits from their businesses."
Bel Esprit members are "dynamic, creative and fashion forward and seek to produce collections that contribute to a beautiful world."
They promote charitable works through its "Fashion for a Cause" program. Bel Esprit sponsored events and trunk shows include fund-raising projects that support a local, national or global charity selected by Bel Esprit and/or event participants.
