Minimal Optimist

 
 

Minimal Optimist is a lifestyle boutique specializing in sustainable, eco-friendly, and nature-inspired goods and unique gifts. Our mission is to inspire confidence in a better future for you and for our planet. One thing that makes us unique is that we love incorporating brands that are certified Benefit Corporations (B Corps). Alongside carrying many B Corp brands, we also carry many smaller brands that are sustainably made in the US, are fair trade, or are locally made right here in Knoxville. Our local artisans and makers give Minimal Optimist a downtown/ local vibe without having to travel far.

I make sustainable living simple through refills!

KnoxFill makes sustainable living simple. We offer refillable personal care and household goods using the milkman model - customers receive full containers and return their empties to be cleaned and refilled. It's a zero waste, circular shop on the local scale. We also curate other low waste, sustainable and local goods for our customers.
