FAT FANCY IS ARRIVING ON SE HAWTHORNE BLVD NOVEMBER 2022!
Fat Fancy is a safe space for the fatties, the queers, all the weirdos, and even the basic bitches. We welcome ALL bodies and love to focus our efforts on making sure we have a little something for everyone.. We are a consignment and resale shop with goals to keep all our plus size friends in cute outfits at around 50% of retail costs. Sustainability and community are two of the biggest things we strive to keep at the forefront of our business. The addition of fat made art and inclusive designer fashions has made the shop full of all kinds of beautiful inspiration that reflects our bodies.
At the end of 2021, Erica became the newest owner of Fat Fancy and over that year we have been shown so much love and support! Y'all have helped us outgrow our current space and we want to EXPAND!
Getting more space will mean that we will be able to double the amount of consignment in store which will open up our appointment availability for dropoffs. This means we will have even more clothes for you to browse through! Including specific sections for things like formal wear and influencer closet spotlights.
Fat Fancy also has a new in-house tailor, Beauregardless! The new space will allow us to set aside space to have more alteration appointments open to the community. Having the option to get your pieces tailored to your body to make you feel the best in a safe space is something we so excited to offer more of.
More inclusive designers will be joining us in our new space as well. While we currently have AltarPDX, Elhoffer Design, ShopSoftCore, ShopJennron there are SO many more. Soon you will be able to try on even more brands irl and even better, spend your consignment funds on the pieces that may be out of our price range otherwise!
Plus we get to add even more small and local artists to our roster. Wander Free & Queer, PillJoy Shop, and Siren's Song Stitchery will be joined by many others in the larger space. And more room for Reesabobeesa! We love.
Fat Fancy wants to build a beautiful inclusive space where we can highlight all things FAT. We would love your support in helping us do just that.
