Diana Pierce has owned Willow Wild on Southwest Sixth Street in downtown Redmond for the past three years. Before that, she was an employee. The women’s boutique has been voted the Best in Redmond for the past two years.
Pierce believes one of the reasons is that they try to cater to every woman.
“We work really hard to have different sizing from size 5 up to 2x, and we really tried to serve the greater part of that age range…up to 85 years old. We try very hard to be trendy, unique, but for all ages,” she says. Willow Wild also carries clothing for junior girls.
The store has a variety of clothing from jeans to dresses along with accessories including hats, purses, sunglasses and jewelry. “We have all local jewelry with Derive, Ponderosa Moon and Monstera. Hand-crafted. They’re awesome and all hand done,” Pierce says. There’s also a coin bar for shoppers to pair with a chain. The store carries gift items as well including candles and cards.
Willow Wild is open seven days a week with four employees. Pierce gives them freedom to create displays. “Without them, it would not look like this. They are spectacular and I super, super encourage them to put their own stamp on everything as they walk in and walk out so that they have that freedom to help make the store look as good as they feel.”
While Pierce works hard to carry a wide variety of items to match a style for each individual woman, customer service may be the real reason voters keep putting Willow Wild in the top “Best of” spot.
Pierce says she has one main goal. “Whether you like to shop or you don’t like to shop, when you walk out, you feel good about what you just purchased and that you were helped well. The goal is just to keep it going and to keep women feeling the best about themselves that we can possibly help them feel.”
