Fashion ComPassion is an ethical fashion retailer that stocks luxury brands from the developing world. The company works directly with their artisan designers to make sure they are properly trained and skilled; this not only means better quality clothes for us, but it also ensures they the designers get better pay, and a sustainable source of income.
