Kathy ' s Boutique
Kathy Means , with her contagious smile and fabulous vibrant outfit , has been helping women look and feel better about themselves at Kathy ’ s Boutique on the square in downtown Athens for over 17 years .
“ Extraordinary shopping for extraordinary women ” is the motto at Kathy ’ s Boutique and everyone that comes through the door can feel it . The boutique ’ s goal is to not only provide great clothing , accessories , handbags , shoes , gifts , and more , but also to provide each shopper with a personalized , extraordinary shopping experience .
After working as an account manager for Verizon for fifteen years , Kathy took her love for beautiful clothing and accessories and turned that passion into a successful boutique that some travel hours to visit .
Not only are visitors stopping by for brands like Brighton , Liverpool , and Sympli the Best , but they are also stopping by for the genuine conversation and cheer that happens when coming through the boutique doors .
There are quite a few people who stop in wearing pieces they purchased over five years ago and they still love it and as Kathy says , “ I love it when you love it forever .”
Many locals enjoy visiting the boutique for special events like Wine Down Wednesdays , Chamber After Hours , Ladies and Guys Night Outs , and exclusive shopping experiences and trunk shows with one of the brands that Kathy ’ s Boutique carries .
The East Texas Arboretum hosts a sold-out ladies style show and Kathy ’ s Boutique always steps in to sponsor the event by providing models and great fashion that people look forward to .
Kathy ’ s Boutique also hosts some creative contests like the annual Best Lips Contest in which females come by the shop , kiss a card , and place it on the Valentine ’ s tree for the judges to later pick the winner of a gift card .
Visit the fun , stress-free shopping at Kathy ’ s Boutique located at 122 N . Palestine Street .
