About Eva

At the heart of Xtended Threads is a passionate journey led by our founder, Eva Toby.  Eva’s vibrant spirt and unwavering determination have shaped her remarkable path in life.  Armed with a degree in psychology, a Masters in Social Work and an MBA, Eva’s journey began as a licensed social worker and clinical therapist before taking a colorful turn into the realms of media, entertainment and fashion.  Her passion for storytelling propelled her into a dynamic career as a Presenter/Spokesmodel for prominent automotive brands and the creator of her former web-series Xtended Expressions, a celebrated lifestyle series.  Eva’s global adventures and experiences nurtured her steadfast commitment to inspiring others.

However, Eva’s story isn’t just about accolades; it’s about resilience and empowerment.  Xtended Threads was conceived out of Eva’s personal struggle to find well-fitting clothes for her tall frame.  In 2007, the idea was born, but it lay dormant until 2022 when, inspired by the quote “in the absence of resources creativity is born,” Xtended Threads was reborn. Eva’s best-selling book, The Purpose Factor, echoes her life philosophy of living with purpose, and inspiring others to embrace their unique paths.  Xtended Threads is more than a fashion label.  Each design embodies empowerment, celebrating diversity and nurturing a deep sense of belonging while honoring individuality.  Join us as we redefine fashion together, one thread at a time.
