About Us

Willow & Oak began in 2016 in the heart of Dungarvan as a small gift shop, created with the simple idea of bringing together beautiful pieces people would truly love. In those early days, many of our customers began asking for gifts specifically for women – something a little more personal, a little more special.

From there, things naturally evolved.

As demand grew, so did our vision, and what started as a gift shop gradually transformed into the clothing boutique we are today.

At the centre of it all is Marian.

Originally trained as a secondary school teacher, Marian later followed her creative passion and studied Home Economics at St Angela’s College in Sligo. It was there that her love for dress design, textiles, and garment making truly came to life, alongside summers spent working in boutiques in Kerry.

For Marian, fashion has never been about trends. It’s about helping women feel confident, comfortable, and completely themselves. Every piece in Willow & Oak is carefully chosen with real women and real lives in mind.

As a family-run boutique, we’re proud to create a space that feels warm, personal, and welcoming. While we’ve grown over the years, our values remain the same – genuine customer care, honest advice, and a friendly face for everyone who walks through our doors.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
