New Store 'Here For You Clothing' Opens In Fairfield

Information from the Fairfield Office of Community & Economic Development

FAIRFIELD, CT — The Town of Fairfield’s Office of Community & Economic Development is pleased to announce the official grand opening of Here For You Clothing, located in the Brick Walk Promenade at 1215 Post Road in Fairfield. The Town of Fairfield’s Director of Community and Economic Development, Mark Barnhart, joined owner, Ellie Haney, to celebrate the grand opening of her store in Fairfield with an official ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, November 1st.

Welcome to Here For You Clothing, a brand dedicated to spreading mental health awareness and fostering a community of support. Their mission is to provide comfort both physically and mentally. Founder Ellie Haney, a Fairfield, CT native, inspired by her own mental health journey, created Here for You Clothing as an outlet to design fashionable, meaningful clothes that initiate open conversations, to remind us we are never alone. The saying "Here for you" comes from years of conversations between Ellie and Managing Partner, Emma Kilbride. At Here for You, they believe that fashion can be a powerful tool for self-expression and connection. Their garments are more than just fabric and threads; they carry a message of solidarity and compassion. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to inspire conversation and promote empathy.

When you wear their clothing or spot a stranger in one of their hoodies down the street, it serves as a reminder that we all have our battles and that there are people who care and understand. Their brand strives to create a visible symbol of support that unites us all. Thank you for joining and being a part of this journey of spreading awareness, providing comfort, and building a community that supports one another. Together, we can make a difference—one conversation, one hoodie at a time. They donate a percentage of their sales each month to an array of different mental health organizations, including Hope For The Day, The Trevor Project, NAMI, and many more.

Owner, Ellie Haney, shared, “Being a part of the Fairfield business community holds a profound importance for me. This town has been my home, shaping my experiences and nurturing my growth. Feeling mentally well and embraced by my community evokes a truly special sense of belonging.” She added, “The overwhelming warmth and support from the Town is nothing short of remarkable. I sense genuine companionship and a shared goal of mutual success, emphasizing collaboration over competition. I consider myself fortunate to be establishing my venture at the heart of this thriving community.”

Their primary objective is to promote this new pop-up location during the holiday season, spreading the word about their brand, and most importantly, letting people know that they provide a safe space where they're never alone.
