Mr Fierze x Pass It On Clothing: Suit Up For A Good Cause

Mr Fierze is proud to announce a partnership with Pass it On Clothing, a distinguished social enterprise dedicated to providing clothing and fostering connections for the homeless population in Sydney. Committed to our primary mission of outfitting gents from all walks of life, our collaboration with Pass It On Clothing is a natural and impactful extension of our sustainable efforts to ensure that everyone has access to clothing, particularly those experiencing homelessness.

What is Pass It On Clothing?

Founded in 2016 by Chris and Olga Vagg, Pass It On Clothing began as a grassroots effort to support the homeless community in Sydney. They started by collecting clothes from their friends and family, and distributing them to people sleeping rough in the CBD. Since then, they have grown to partner with major brands like Uniqlo and Academy Brand, who donate new and excess stock to their cause. They also receive donations from individuals and businesses who want to pass on their pre-loved clothes.

Every Tuesday night, Pass It On Clothing sets up a pop-up shop in Martin Place, where people can pick from a variety of free clothes, shoes and accessories. They also offer a friendly chat with individuals, who often feel stigmatized and lonely, and give them a warm smile and a sense of dignity. Pass It On Clothing’s goal is to make people feel confident and valued, and to foster a compassionate and supportive community. Instead of just stuffing clothes into bags, they display donations on racks, letting homeless people choose what they want and need, promoting a sense of autonomy and dignity in the process.

Why are we collaborating with Pass It On Clothing?

At Mr Fierze, our mission has always been to fit every gent from all walks of life. We believe that everyone deserves to look good and feel good, no matter their circumstances. Additionally, we also believe in sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint.

Pass It On Clothing is a natural and impactful extension of our sustainable efforts to ensure that everyone has access to clothing, particularly those experiencing homelessness. That’s why we are proud to support Pass It On Clothing, who share our vision of making fashion accessible and inclusive for all.

As part of our collaboration, starting from February 1, 2024, we will house a Pass it on collection bin at our North Sydney flagship store, where customers can donate their pre-loved clothing items. We will also continue to contribute a percentage of our profits to fund Pass It On Clothing while hosting donation drive, to help them continue with their amazing work. Additionally, keep a close eye on our socials as you’ll see some familiar faces from the team promoting their mission and values at volunteering events and give drives to spread the word and inspire others to get involved. We hope that by joining forces with Pass It On Clothing, we can make a positive impact on the lives of people experiencing homelessness, and on the environment, by reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
