Kathy’s Boutique | Athens Texas Commercial Photographer

As I mentioned last month, this spring I decided to debut a new feature — CMP’s East Texas Favorites. I plan to feature the *mom & pop* small businesses around the area here on the blog once a month. Along with a Q&A, I’ll also feature some images from the business to tempt you to make a visit as well

The second edition features Kathy’s Boutique, an upscale boutique featuring fashions, shoes, and accessories for today’s modern woman.

The Meet & Greet:

The What: Kathy’s Boutique

The Who: Kathy Means

The Mascot:  Knock Out (pictured below on far right)

The Assistants:  Autumn, Lauren, (pictured below on the left), and Sue (not pictured)

When was Kathy’s Boutique established? What was your inspiration for opening a boutique?
I opened the boutique in August 2005 — accomplishing a lifelong dream of mine.

Tell use a little bit about yourself …
I’m originally from Commerce and have been married 10 years. We have two children and six grandchildren. Aside from the boutique, I’m also involved with the Athens Chamber of Commerce and enjoy sports and gardening.

One of my favorite things about her boutique is that Kathy provides plenty of inspiration with these put-together outfits! The hat/cardigan/pants combo below(on left) … my personal fave!

In addition to women’s clothing, she also sells shoes, handbags, and jewelry, as well as other accessories and gifts.

Some of the brands she carries includes Brighton, Spanx, and Baubles, Bangles, and Beads — a line of locally designed and handcrafted jewelry.

Any random tidbits you’d like to share?
Be sure to check out our Facebook page as well … we regularly post one-day specials on there! Also, we host a Girls’ Night Out once a month — hang out, shop, and have some snacks.

Thanks so much Kathy for having us in –and to everyone else, be sure to mention that you saw Kathy’s Boutique featured at CMP when you stop in!
