One of our most important values ​​is the inclusion of all people. A wide range of sizes, including plus sizes such as 3XL and 4XL, is therefore very important to us. Our goal is to create a fashion brand that is accessible to all people and that celebrates the beauty and diversity of all body types. We believe that everyone should feel confident and elegant in their clothing.

With our plus size offering, we aim to break through the norms and standards set by the fashion industry in the past, which have often resulted in people who don't fit the narrow range of traditional sizes being excluded or marginalized . We want to challenge these norms and create a more inclusive and body-friendly environment where people of all sizes can find stylish clothing that makes them feel good.

Our commitment to plus size is based on the belief that fashion should be for everyone, without constraining or limiting. Our aim is to celebrate and embrace diversity and to ensure that our customers can express their personal style and be aware of their own beauty.

In doing so, we promote a more inclusive and diverse understanding of beauty.
