The Garderobes fair, a meeting point for sustainable fashion, presents its 3rd edition at the Salle des Fêtes in Carouge on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November 2026. Entry is free.
The story
The first edition took place on 23 and 24 November 2024 at IceBergues, place des Bergues, in Geneva, during Climate Week. Jeanne von Segesser, co-founder of the association Bubble Ethic, is its co-organiser.
The fair aims to move people from “fast fashion” to “slow fashion”. Its motto comes down to five verbs, reuse, respect, repair, recycle and rethink.
In 2024, 17 school classes took part in the competition of the Department of Public Education. RTS, Léman Bleu and Radio Lac covered the fair.
Who organises it
The non-profit association Bubble Ethic organises the fair with the Cities of Geneva and Carouge. The Canton of Geneva and the Loterie Romande support it, and Patagonia sponsors it. The fair is part of Climate Week.
