Clock That Tea!
The Curvy Bando is the passion project of two best friends, Paysley and Shy, who share a deep love for thrifting and finding hidden gems on a budget. Their friendship blossomed over countless thrifting trips, where they bonded over the excitement of discovering unique pieces that made them feel amazing without spending a fortune.
Paysley, a body positivity advocate and lifestyle coach, and Shy, CEO of Shy's Sugar Shop, both recognized a gap in the market for curvy women like themselves who wanted stylish, affordable clothing. They decided to combine their shared vision and love for thrifting into something bigger: a boutique where women of all sizes could feel confident and stylish.
Their mission to make fashion accessible, affordable, and empowering was born out of their personal experiences. Both Paysley and Shy have faced challenges in finding clothes that fit well and make them feel beautiful. Through The Curvy Bando, they aim to create a space where every woman can find clothing that celebrates her body and her unique style. Together, they’re on a mission to change how Curvy women shop and feel about fashion.
