Style with Soul

Where Curated Fashion Meets Connection on Mercer Island

Every stylish woman deserves a place where she feels seen—not just sized and styled. For many on Mercer Island, that place is Hip Zephyr.

It’s not just a boutique; it’s a fashion experience. Owner Dana Smith and Store Manager Amy Patton have built more than a retail destination—they’ve created a community of confident, vibrant women rediscovering their edge.

Style for Real Life

Let’s be honest—style isn’t just for runways. It’s for coffee runs, meetings, spontaneous getaways, and school pick-ups that turn into dinner dates. Hip Zephyr gets it. With international brands like Raffaello Rossi, Masons, and Zadig & Voltaire, the shop offers pieces that are both elevated and effortless.

Dana and Amy curate with intention. The collection is wearable, flattering, and always fresh. You’ll find soft fabrics, timeless silhouettes, and details that make you feel like you’ve still got it—because you absolutely do.

Fashion as Connection

Hip Zephyr also knows that style is more than what we wear—it’s how we connect. Events like the “Shop and Sip” night with Elsom Cellars or the “Summer Sale Kickoff Party” with Amadi Aesthetics and Au Courant Salon are true celebrations of local women-led businesses. They transform a shopping trip into a shared moment.

It’s where friends meet up, new ones are made, and everyone leaves feeling inspired.

Service with Heart

Dana and Amy aren’t just here to help you find clothes—they help you find your confidence. They remember your size, offer 24-hour holds, and even suggest bringing in your own pieces to build complete looks. Their guidance feels like chatting with a best friend who happens to be a personal stylist.

At Hip Zephyr, there’s no pressure—just thoughtful service, authenticity, and care.

What You’ll Find

  • Fashion in XS to XL
  • International labels with edge and elegance
  • Stylish shoes, leather boots, candles, accessories, and handbags
  • Seasonal curated collections
  • A peaceful, comfortable space where everyone is welcome

Most of all, you’ll find a place that reflects who you are and how far you’ve come. Because great style doesn’t follow trends—it tells your story.

Step inside Hip Zephyr. Come for the fashion. Stay for the friendship. Leave feeling fabulous.
