Meet Jaime Martin of Cultured Threads
Jaime’s boutique originally opened in her home and has grown into a retail space, but what’s remained the same is her commitment to her customers. As “the honest girlfriend”, she’ll never let a woman leave her shop unless she truly looks her best. Jaime has also used customer feedback to her advantage and broadened the styles of clothing she offers so she can accommodate everything from flowy, bohemian vibes to fitted, chic looks. I hope you enjoy her warm spirit, words of wisdom, & honesty about raising a family, running a business, & trying to stay human.
