Harlow + James Plus-Size Boutique to be Featured on Bloomberg TV

Harlow + James, the beloved plus-size boutique in Historic Valley Junction, will be featured on "World's Greatest!..." as the world’s greatest size inclusive shopping experience airing on Bloomberg TV on Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 1:00 PM CST (with a second airing on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 1:00 PM CST). 

Founded by Kelly and Brenda, two plus-sized women who understand the frustration of shopping when nothing fits or flatters. Harlow + James has become more than a boutique. It's a community where curvy women feel valued, celebrated, and beautiful. 

"We started this business because we were tired of settling," shares Kelly. "Tired of the sad 'plus-size section' in the back corner. Tired of crying in dressing rooms. Tired of buying what fits instead of what we love. This feature on 'World's Greatest!...' is validation that our mission matters. Not just to us, but to curvy women everywhere."

What sets Harlow + James apart is authenticity. Kelly and Brenda personally try on every single piece they sell, providing honest fit advice from women who share their customers' experiences. Their Thursday night live shows have built a loyal community, and their sister thrift shop, XO, offers sustainable plus-size fashion at accessible price points.

"When you shop with us, you're not just buying clothes," adds Brenda. "You're joining a family of women who lift each other up. This television feature is really a celebration of our entire community. 

The boutique will host a watch party on Saturday, November 22, at 12:30 PM and Saturday, and November 29 at 12:30 PM to view the segment together at 1:00pm with customers and community members.
