Exhibit 10.1

STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of June 23, 2025 by and among Torrid Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Sycamore Partners Torrid, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”). Each of the Company and the Seller shall be a “Party” and together, “Parties” for purposes of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Seller holds 73,976,602 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”);

WHEREAS, the Seller, the Company and each of BofA Securities, Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters party thereto (the “Underwriters”), intend to enter into an Underwriting Agreement with respect to an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) by the Seller of certain shares of Common Stock;

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell, and the Company desires to repurchase, contingent on the closing of the Offering, a certain number of Shares (the “Seller Shares”), for an aggregate amount of $20 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement (the “Stock Repurchase”);

WHEREAS, the Seller Shares will be held as treasury shares by the Company upon the consummation of the Stock Repurchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Audit Committee of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has approved the Stock Repurchase and related transactions that may be required in connection with the Stock Repurchase;

WHEREAS, the Board acting on the recommendation of the Audit Committee has approved the Stock Repurchase; and

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Parties that the Stock Repurchase be a private sale of securities that is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Purchase and Sale of Stock.

1.1 Sale of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller agrees to sell to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase, on the Closing Date (as defined below) the Seller Shares at a price per share equal to the Share Purchase Price (as defined below) for an aggregate amount of $20 million (the “Aggregate Repurchase Price”). As used herein, the parties hereto acknowledge that the “Share Purchase Price” shall equal the per share purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters in the Offering (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be equal to the per share proceeds, before expenses, to the selling securityholders as reflected on the cover of the final prospectus supplement for the Offering).

1.2 Closing Date. The purchase and sale of the Seller Shares shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures on the date of the closing of the Offering or at such other time and date as the Company and the Seller shall mutually agree (which time and place are designated as the “Closing Date”). At the Closing Date: (i) the Company shall pay to the Seller in cash the Aggregate Repurchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account that the Seller shall designate in writing and (ii) the Seller and the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company’s transfer agent a duly executed instruction letter relating to the transfer of the Seller Shares to an account designated by the Company.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Seller. The Seller hereby represents and warrants that:

2.1 Ownership of Shares. Upon the purchase and sale of the Seller Shares on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof, the Seller shall: (i) own all right, title and interest (legal and beneficial) in and to all of the Seller Shares, free and clear of all liens, including, but not limited to, any lien, pledge, claim, security interest, encumbrance, mortgage, assessment, charge, restriction or limitation of any kind, whether arising by agreement, operation of law or otherwise, except for those imposed by applicable federal and state securities laws; (ii) have good and marketable title to the Seller Shares and (iii) have the full power and authority to sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Company the Seller Shares being sold by Seller to the Company, and upon payment for the Seller Shares, the Company shall acquire valid and unencumbered title to the Seller Shares.

2.2 Authorization; Approval; Enforceability. The Seller has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Seller and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

2.3 Consents. To the knowledge of the Seller, no consent, waiver, approval, order, permit or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, or notification to, any person or entity is required on the part of the Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than consents obtained on or before the Closing Date).

2.4 No Conflicts. To the knowledge of the Seller, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof on the part of the Seller will breach any statutes or regulations of any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or will conflict with or result in a breach of the Seller’s organizational documents or of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any judgment, order, injunction, decree, agreement

or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller or its assets may be bound, or constitute a default thereunder or an event which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both would constitute a default thereunder, which, in each of the foregoing cases, would have any material adverse impact on the Seller’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

2.5 Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, currently threatened that questions the validity of this Agreement, or the right of the Seller to enter into this Agreement, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.6 Sophistication of the Seller. The Seller (i) is a sophisticated investor familiar with transactions similar to those contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of the Company to make an informed decision regarding the sale of the Seller Shares, (iii) has independently and without reliance upon the Company or any of its officers, directors or other affiliates, and based on such information and the advice of such advisors as the Seller has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Seller acknowledges that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates is acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment adviser to the Seller, and has not given the Seller any investment advice, opinion or other information on whether the sale of the Seller Shares is prudent. The Seller acknowledges that (x) the Company currently may have, and later may come into possession of, information with respect to the Company that is not known to the Seller and that may be material to a decision to sell the Seller Shares (the “Excluded Information”), (y) the Seller has determined to sell the Seller Shares notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (z) the Company shall have no liability to the Seller, and the Seller waives and releases any claims that it might have against the Company whether under applicable securities laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information in connection with the sale of the Seller Shares and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller understands that the Company will rely on the accuracy and truth of the foregoing representations, and the Seller hereby consents to such reliance. The Seller has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to the Stock Repurchase.

2.7 Consideration. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement provide good, valuable, and sufficient consideration for every promise, duty, agreement, obligation, and right contained in this Agreement.
