"Hands down the best boutique in Charleston, SC. From the earrings to the headbands, each design is catered with a touch of Charleston charm. Every item is extremely well made. The earrings are very light and don't pull on the ears. Also the headbands feel secure but don't squeeze your brain — I'm sensitive to tension headaches and these just work. All of the clothing is handmade to perfection. Everyone at the Tiny Tassel is so sweet and helpful, really makes you want to go back soon."

The Tiny Tassel
Tiny Tassel started with a simple idea: add joy to every day, not just special occasions. That is the thread that runs through everything they make. Tassel earrings in colors that make strangers ask where you got them. Beaded necklaces and bracelets built to brighten whatever you are wearing. Apparel hand-cut and scaled for every body from XS to 4XL. Accessories that turn a regular Tuesday into something worth dressing for.
The founder, Mimi, works alongside her mother Keiko Striplin, the lead designer, to build each seasonal collection. Every tassel is handmade in Charleston, South Carolina by a creative team of women. This is not a factory operation. It is a studio full of people who care whether the colors sing and the stitching holds.
They run small batch production on purpose. Limited quantities. No overproduction. Whatever is left at the end of a season goes to local nonprofits. That is sustainability that shows up on a spreadsheet, not just in a marketing email.
The Charleston influence is all over the designs. Vibrant colors. Southern ease. Pieces that work for a garden party, a beach weekend, or just grabbing coffee in something that makes you feel like you tried.

Frequently asked questions
What are the tassel earrings made of?
Cotton thread wrapped by hand around a small core. Hooks and posts are hypoallergenic stainless steel or gold-plated brass depending on the style. Every tassel is made in the Charleston studio by a real person, not a machine.
Are the earrings heavy?
No. They are lightweight enough to wear all day. Most customers forget they are on until someone stops them to ask where they got them.
Can I wear them if I have sensitive ears?
Most styles use hypoallergenic findings. If you need a specific metal type, check the product listing or contact the shop before ordering.
What if my jewelry arrives tangled or my clutch arrives damaged?
Contact orders@thetinytassel.com within 3 business days of delivery with photos. The team will sort it out.
Do the clutches come with a strap?
