Southern style with modern touches comes second nature at The Olive Tree. Serving Starkville since the summer of 2021, The Olive Tree is more than just a boutique, offering curated home décor, gifts, and fashion that is sure to turn heads.
The Founder – Mary Clair Cumbaa
Founded by Mary Clair Cumbaa in 2021, she took what she learned here in Starkville at Mississippi State and exposed herself to the experiences offered in New York and Washington D.C., bringing them back home.
Design is her superpower, and that is evident when you walk through their doors at 122 East Main Street in Starkville.
Curating Warmth – The Olive Tree
What sets The Olive Tree apart is their knack for curating a warm, inviting atmosphere through thoughtfully chosen pieces that blend timeless style with personal charm. Offering an extensive array of clothes, accessories, home décor, and so much more, there’s truly something for everyone!
Rooted deeply in the community, The Olive Tree also prides itself on fostering connections—whether through special events, personalized styling sessions, or simply a friendly conversation that makes every customer feel like family.
They also carry popular brands such as Crosby, Frances Valentine, Marie Oliver, and Taylor Tillman, just to name a few!
Whether you’re looking for something to spruce up your home or something fashionable to wear on a night out, The Olive Tree has just what you need. Local love is given a whole new meaning at the store, which is designed to bring to life any of your home and lifestyle dreams through thoughtfully curated pieces and personal touches.
Special Event Registries
If that isn’t enough, they also offer bridal registries, handbags, and candles. You’ll be able to find them Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., ready to help with any needs with a smile on their face, and online at theolivetreestarkville.com.
The experience Mary Clair has cultivated over the years allows her to craft a personalized experience for every customer who walks through the door. Her ability to understand and connect with individual needs is what truly sets her apart.
Throughout the Main Street Revitalization project, their storefront location is still easily accessible to the public and just a short walk away from the upgrades happening on Main Street. Mary Clair is also a two-time Dr. Michael W. Fazio facade improvement grant recipient, and the side entry is also open and accessible through Lafayette Street.
Stop by and see what is available —you might just find that perfect piece you didn’t even know you were looking for. At The Olive Tree, every visit feels like coming home.
