About Ensemble Hfx

In 2008, Ensemble Hfx founder Charlotte Genge hosted her first clothing swap in her hometown of St. John’s, Newfoundland. A thriftaholic since birth, Charlotte has hosted numerous clothing swaps where thousands of swappers have hunted for new-to-them treasures.

 

As the culmination of these original swaps, Ensemble Hfx seeks to provide an outlet for community members to express their love for clothing by connecting people through their mutual interest in fashion and the environment. The ultimate goal of Ensemble Hfx is to help individuals refresh their wardrobes affordably, encourage a culture of reuse, make the circular economy accessible to the community, and create a channel to efficiently donate clothing to local charities. 

 

If you are a charity or retailer that is interested in partnering with a sustainably-minded organization, or if you would like to support the Great Halifax Clothing Swap through clothing or in-kind donations, please get in touch.
