Have you been on the hunt for plus size clothing that fits your unique style? In SoCal and have been itching to do some plus size thrifting? Well, have we got a fun recap, review, and an upcoming event for you with Thick Thrift LA! No matter your style, Thick Thrift has you covered! As one of the founders, Rachael Frank, says, โ€œYou donโ€™t need to be a certain size to be a fashion icon! To dress exactly how we want, all we need is access to the clothes!โ€

Whether your style is alternative, punk, Fem, Girly Pop, Gender Neutral, or Masc, Thick Thrift has a plethora of options from which to put together a wardrobe that inspires, at impressive prices. There are a lot of vintage or up-cycled pieces, which means you can score a one-of-a-kind unique outfit.

What is this Thick Thrift? You ask?

Thick Thrift began as a sidewalk sale. They wanted to give plus size shoppers the IRL experience that so many of us donโ€™t get very often. Over the last year and a half, it has turned into a must-go-to destination!

Finally! A Good Reason to Get Rid of That โ€œMaybe Iโ€™ll Wear It Againโ€ Pile

From the ticket site, Thick Thrift echoes the frustration many of us plus size people face: โ€œTired of never finding any cute plus size clothes, and only being able to shop online? Thick Thrift is like a plus size dream mall with 60 unique stores to shop fromโ€ฆbut instead of typical fast fashions youโ€™ll find indie brands, carefully curated vintage, 2k, and incredible 1 of 1 pieces.โ€

โ€œShop with sellers and brands from all over SoCal and beyond carrying only sizes 12 and up. Use our spacious fitting rooms and mirrors for try ons. Weโ€™ll also have other vendors selling: Handmade jewelry, Unique accessories, Art, Home goods, Records, Tattoos & piercings, and Food and drinks!โ€

Now, Thick Thrift even includes people like Tess Holliday and Danny Franzese, with his new stall, Handsome Heavyweight. The Thick Thrift founders are so excited that they are now getting to work with the very influencers that inspired them to start this whole project.ย 

It is so cool to see how quickly it has grown and shows just how needed spaces like Thick Thrift are for our community. Every stall was packed with plus size beauties. There were countless artists selling their work, good food, and of course, all the clothes!

Thrifting at Thick Thrift

One of the things I love most about thrifting is experimenting with a new style, that might be me, but I havenโ€™t tried it yet. Itโ€™s nice to find inspiration through gently used clothes and consider, โ€œShould I try that? Do I want to wear something totally different? Could I pull that offโ€ฆ and even if I canโ€™t, will it bring me joy?โ€

For me, it is fun to try on styles. See how I feel in them and it always helps when someone compliments my new outfit. I love seeing so many brands show up and share their inspiration, passion and joy of selling clothes and Thick Thrift was filled to the brim with small businesses that do just that!

Rachael Frank exclaims, โ€œItโ€™s so powerful to be around other hot fat people in a room where everyone is dressed so unabashfully themselves. Itโ€™s a safe place to be yourself.โ€
