Kelly Scott, a longtime ultra-creative downtown Mill Valley retailer and owner of The Goods, has regularly used her imagination to expand on the palette at her shop at 6 Miller that is laden with “unique gifts, vintage finds, locally sourced treasures and lots of cashmere.” In the years since, Scott took over a portion of 30 Miller Ave., the former Terrestra space that was owned by the husband-and-wife duo of Ray Kristof and Amy Satran and described as a “museum store without the museum.”
Now Scott is partnering with Suzanne Gray, a huge figure in the Bay Area gallery business, to take the reins at Mill Valley Mercantile, a staple in the downtown boutique community that has long been known as a family-owned women’s clothing boutique that has been a cherished destination for fashion enthusiasts for over two decades.
“Steeped in a legacy of passion for style and dedication to customer satisfaction, we have cultivated a reputation for providing exceptional quality and timeless elegance. From casual everyday wear to glamorous evening attire, our meticulously curated collection offers a wide range of options to suit every woman’s unique taste and occasion. What sets us apart is the personal touch that comes with being a family-owned establishment. As soon as you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our friendly and knowledgeable team, who are genuinely invested in helping you discover the perfect ensemble. Our experienced staff takes the time to understand your preferences, offering personalized styling advice and ensuring you leave our boutique feeling confident and empowered.
Scott and Gray will be sharing more about their plans for Mill Valley Mercantile in 2025.
The track record of Scott and Gray are highly regarded in town.
Scott is also the former owner of both the Alpha Dog shop as well as Sundry, a kitchen- and garden-focused store that was at 118 Throckmorton Ave. – the former home of Branded Boutique, the Mill Valley Hat Box, a laundromat and a fledgling version of Mill Valley Market before that.
