Aiken—Tippy-Toes Boutique, a retail establishment dedicated to clothing and accessories for infants and children, will be closing its physical store in downtown Aiken. Owner Mellissa Walton made the announcement of the closure on July 4 through a post on Facebook.
As part of the closure plan, Walton will implement price reductions on in-store items to help clear the current inventory before the storefront officially closes its doors. The boutique is situated at 113 Laurens St. S.W., Suite 107, in the Holley Building and has been operational since September 2024.
Despite the impending closure of the physical location, customers will still have the ability to purchase merchandise online at tippy-toesboutique.com. This online sales platform will remain accessible even after the shop’s brick-and-mortar operations cease. Additionally, Tippy-Toes Boutique will continue to maintain its social media presence, with updates available on its Facebook page titled “Tippy-Toes Boutique, LLC” and the Instagram account named tippytoesbtq.
Background of Tippy-Toes Boutique
The store’s establishment provided a local venue for families seeking quality children’s apparel and accessories in Aiken. Before opening the physical store, Walton conducted business from her home and operated an online presence, selling products without a dedicated retail space. This strategy allowed her to build a customer base and develop a brand that emphasizes cute and stylish items for young children.
The boutique’s name, “Tippy-Toes Boutique,” is derived from the song “Tippy Toes,” featured in the popular animated movie “Sing 2,” released in 2021. Walton shared that her family found the song charming, which inspired the creation of the boutique’s name and theme.
Final Opportunities for Local Shoppers
With the closing of Tippy-Toes Boutique, Aiken residents will say goodbye to a local shopping venue that catered specifically to young children. The boutique’s legacy will continue online, keeping the spirit of Tippy-Toes alive through its digital platform and ongoing social media interaction.
