After years of selling her designs through e-commerce and other shops, Tammy fulfilled her dream of opening her own boutique in Orlando in 2017. All of Tammy’s garments are one-of-a-kind pieces created with unique intent, designed to fit multiple body types, and made by her with love. Tammy is an advocate for ethically-made and sustainable fashion, which is why her garments are made using supreme vintage and repurposed fabrics.

Jaimie Partin is an agent and brand coordinator for Thr3efold. Originally from the space coast of Florida, Jaimie majored in both fashion and drama in high school. There she combined her love for fashion design and theatre to work on costuming. Not long after graduation, Jaimie moved to Orlando in 2012 to study Fashion Design and Merchandising at IADT Orlando. She has always wanted to make a positive impact in the fashion industry, but it was upon learning more about what happens behind the scenes & taking an environmental science class that made her realize the desperate need for an ethical and sustainable movement industry-wide. In search of organic fabric options to start her own clothing line and a thirst for more knowledge, Jaimie found Thr3efold. There she met Jessica, and instantly knew she wanted to be a part of what Thr3efold was doing in the fashion industry. Jaimie is happy to be Orlando’s Thr3efold agent striving to unite the community and spread awareness on the subject of ethical fashion.
