About Bel Esprit

Bel Esprit means a great wit, a beautiful mind, and the garments are carefully crafted to satisfy the needs of the women the brand name describes. She is intelligent and driven, making an impact and changing the world through her work in her field of choice, whatever that may be. Clothing can and should support work, not get in the way or be the cause of unnecessary stress. Every woman of any shape and size should be able to find work clothing that is comfortable, well-fitted, and makes her feel good about herself. Bel Esprit was founded with the mission to carefully fit every woman so she can go about her work confident in her clothing, without it being the focus.

A Mission of Empowerment

Bel Esprit was also founded with the long-term mission of empowering marginalized women through training, community building, and employment opportunities. While this vision has to be built one step at a time, Bel Esprit plans to partner with organizations that help marginalized women in the United States (whether in shelters due to domestic violence, recently released from incarceration, or otherwise needing a hand up) by training them to become seamstresses, employing them at living wages to produce Bel Esprit garments, and building connection and community to empower them to grow in independence and self-sufficiency.
