THE
PRE-LOVED
PLUS-SIZE
POP-UP
Buy, sell and browse
Have you ever felt frustrated by plus-size fashion and the options available to you?
It’s no secret that plus-size women are completely under-served by many brands and retailers. It’s virtually impossible to walk into a shop and pick up a piece of clothing that fits your body, It’s often difficult to buy sustainably and if you want to shop vintage or thrift shops, the plus size selection and sizing is generally very limited.
The Pre-Loved Plus-Size Pop-Up aims to give you more options, to allow you to browse rails full of lovely clothes that actually fit you. We want you to know that you are valued and that you have a right to feel good!
