OUR STORY
A shop built on community
I opened Clover & Thistle because I was tired of walking into boutiques and feeling like I was browsing someone else's mood board. I wanted to build a space where every single brand reflects the same values I care about: women supporting women, local makers getting their due, and clothes that actually last. After years of working in fashion retail, I noticed something: the most meaningful purchases happened when someone took time to understand what a customer really needed—not what the algorithm was pushing. That became the heart of how we work here. Pacific Northwest makers are doing incredible work, and our community of women designers deserves to be seen. Whether you're looking for a statement piece, something for everyday, or a gift that actually means something, I've curated this collection like I'm shopping for friends. Every brand here passed a simple test: Does it matter? Is it made with care? We've never carried fast fashion and we never will.
"Every piece I have bought here has a story. Fiona knows what you need before you do."
