Golden Threads is a vintage and secondhand boutique located at 445 S Gay Street #103, Knoxville, Tennessee. Local entrepreneurs Lisa Sorensen and Scott Schimmel with the owners Bliss & Tori Mason Shoes opened the store in March 2026. The business curates preloved clothing and accessories, emphasizing sustainability, quality, and character.
Golden Threads evolved from the founders’ passion for thrifting and their charitable initiative, Silver Threads, which provides clothing pop-ups for seniors in care facilities. The retail venture channels that same ethos of accessibility and reuse, blending treasure-hunt excitement with environmental consciousness.
The shop features an eclectic mix of denim, jewelry, leather goods, boots, and occasional couture items, organized by brand or style. Its aesthetic reflects nostalgia and discovery—each piece carrying visible history and craftsmanship. Prices range from everyday affordability to collector-grade garments, making it accessible to both casual shoppers and vintage aficionados.
Through donation initiatives and shared proceeds, it continues to fund Silver Threads’ community outreach.
