We’re here to inspire people to be their own Snagging fashion trend by making clothing accessible to everyone. For far too long, we endured the discomfort of ill-fitting clothes, designed for a single body shape. But our bodies aren’t one shape; Every-body is beautifully different, and we love to celebrate this diversity.
We sold our first product in 2018 and what's transpired since has surpassed our wildest dreams. We're not just in the business of fashion; we're actively challenging the status quo and defying the oppressive grip of the fashion world. It's time to shatter the mould that has long beat down individuals based on their size, be it plus size, tall size, broad size, super size, or any size at all.
We've introduced dresses, leggings, swimwear, skirts, and a whole lot more! Our aim is to spread the joyous spirit of resistance, arming our community with not just fabulous clothes to fit everybody, but also the power of language, tools, and affirmations. It's all about flipping a triumphant two-finger salute to the fashion patriarchy and letting everyone express their authentic selves.
Snag is a direct-to-consumer brand dedicated to one mission: clothes that fit. We are 100% committed to being size inclusive and promoting body positive attitude through our products and marketing.
When developing all Snag products, we test and trial them on multiple body shapes within our size range from a UK 4 – 38.
