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.
