why tennie?

so glad you asked!

tennie claflin was a force to be reckoned with - a suffragist, businesswoman, and unapologetic advocate for social justice. in 1870, half a century before women even had the right to vote, tennie and her sister became the first women to open a brokerage firm on wall street, fighting for equality not just in politics but in the workplace. she didn’t just talk about change - she lived it.

at tennie, we want to carry her spirit into the modern workplace. to us, tennie represents confidence, ambition, and showing up fully as yourself. that’s exactly what we believe getting dressed for work should feel like. our company is named in her honor not just because she was first, but because she was fearless.

and yes, that is a taylor swift reference.

bailey ehrens

founder of tennie

bailey is a first-year mba student at yale school of management. after 5 years of working in investment banking and m&a, she decided to get her mba to turn her dream of starting a professional clothing platform into a reality.

from her own experiences navigating male-dominated workplaces, bailey saw firsthand how hard it can be to find clothes that feel both powerful and like you. she started tennie to change that.

tennie is about more than clothes for bailey (though she really really loves the clothes!) - it's about helping the next generation of women break down antiquated barriers and accomplish their wildest dreams.

and yes, that is another taylor swift reference.
