Scarlet Tassel is led by founder and owner Kathy Thomas, who opened the boutique after a lifelong interest in Living Beautifully, a mantra that represents both her personal ethos and vision for the store.

As a single, working mother who raised her now adult children in the Atlanta area, Kathy has always been an amateur artist fascinated by color, pattern, and texture. Professionally, she had a career in real estate and homebuilding, but in her free time, worked with local theaters as a costume designer. Now, with both children leading entrepreneurial ventures of their own in Greenville, SC as the owners of Good To Go GVL and Automatic Taco, Kathy is pursuing her retirement dream of selling beautiful things through Scarlet Tassel.

Scarlet Tassel fills an important niche in the Greenville retail scene. Its location in the Forest Park shopping center with anchors like Fresh Market, a diversity of other kinds of restaurants, nail salons, proximity to the Laurens Road artery, and incredibly easy parking cannot be beat.

Additionally, Kathy’s mission is to carefully curate and regulate her inventory so her customers can live beautifully. Items sold in Scarlet Tassel will not be seen repetitively in every single home, so customers can know they are buying specially selected items that only a few will have the chance to feature.
