About Us

Warmest welcome friends and community members. I’m thrilled to have opened the doors of Willow Grove here in Sausalito! For many years, I’ve believed a women’s clothing consignment store focusing on the casual California high style would be a valuable addition to Sausalito – as I’ve always loved shopping in resale shops and discovering their many hidden jewels. 

I grew up in the suburbs of Boston and moved to Marin in the 80’s. I’ve been a Sausalito resident for 15 years, and I’ve had the pleasure of raising two children here in Marin. Growing up in New England, I learned to always put myself together before leaving the house. It makes me feel good and I enjoy helping other women with their style.

Up until 2020, I worked for companies such as Google, Nest, and Genentech and the changing workplace provided just the encouragement I needed to put my efforts into an entirely new endeavor that brings me joy and provides value to my community. 

The women of Marin are strong, smart, spirited and have a unique and individual fashion sense, and I believe the modern woman is one that doesn’t always have to buy new or on-trend, to be stylish. Our community is home to some amazing and accomplished women, and I look forward to meeting all of you in a fresh new place to exchange our beautiful treasures.

A little background about our store name

Willow Grove stems from the origin of the name Sausalito, which comes from the Spanish word sauzalito, meaning “small willow grove.” From sauz “willow” + collective derivative “al” meaning “place of abundance”. So, what a fitting name for a place to celebrate our community abundance.
