A new plus-size pop-up shop in Charlotte, North Carolina, is challenging traditional ideas around fashion and identity. Co-founders Beaux Bennet and Angel Medina are on a mission to celebrate body diversity and redefine comfort in style. Their brand, Thique Threads (a playful take on “thick threads”), was born from Medina’s struggles to find plus-size pieces in vintage markets.

What started as simple clothing swaps among friends has become a thriving, inclusive business rooted in sustainability. The team prioritizes responsible sourcing and recently introduced reusable tote bags as part of their eco-conscious efforts. But more than that, Thique Threads is about creating a space where everyone feels seen and celebrated, regardless of gender, size, or stage in their journey.
Whether someone is navigating body changes, exploring gender identity, or simply looking for clothing that fits and empowers, this pop-up is a bold step forward for fashion that embraces real people.
