meet the team
Hello, I'm Gayle , the owner of Willow Boutique.
Ever since I was a little girl I've wanted to own my own shop. Well that was after wanting to be a nurse, then a fashion designer! I did actually go on to get an Honours Degree in Fashion and Textile Design Management at Heriot-Watt University but the next Vivienne Westwood I was not! However, I have never lost my inspiration in fashion, accessories and textiles and with years of retail experience at management level behind me, I have found the path I was always meant to take. I love my job, I love all my suppliers and I love all my customers who support my small business. I also have the best team in the shop and at home.
Christine (right) joined the team in January 2024. From Normandy, France, she has lived in Edinburgh for years and I was lucky enough to meet at the school gates, as our kids were in the same class. Christine is very creative and loves colours and textiles and doing displays.
She loves conversation and is always interested in people and has a very good, sarcastic humour:-).
You’ll find her in the shop 3 days a week, or more if covering holidays.
Thank you for visiting my website!
I really hope you like what you see.
Love from my family to yours. xxx
