YOWIE: Philadelphia Wishes and South Street Dreams

Shannon Maldonado has been a passionate supporter of small businesses through her retail space, YOWIE, since 2016. With a keen eye for unique brands and small-batch creators, Shannon's talent for discovering vibrant and beautiful products has fostered a close-knit community of makers and seekers of hidden retail treasures. In partnership with Deacon Hospitality, Shannon recently reopened YOWIE’s flagship store on South Street in Philadelphia as part of a multi-use project. Shopping for the latest YOWIE finds is now combined with a boutique hotel and coffee shop, all styled with Shannon's bold palette, bringing a breath of fresh air to one of Philly’s favorite social street spaces. We sat down with Shannon to get the 4-1-1 on the project's origins and a sneak peek behind the curtain. Since late 2019, Shannon began thinking about expanding her brand and envisioned a YOWIE hospitality project that would include a hotel, studio space for her brand, and a larger retail shop. These ideas evolved over a year before they started looking for a building to house this new dream. Once they found the building, they knew it required a full gut renovation. The building had beautiful characteristics, like bay windows on three of the four sides that they wanted to restore. Shannon aimed for the hotel suites to feel more residential rather than boxy. They tried to keep the tall ceilings and original details like archways. "I founded YOWIE to find my own creative voice again and to support the work of artists and makers. This building felt very much like a part of that story, as I wanted to honor its original details and find additional ways to showcase its beauty through my selection of furniture and objects." At YOWIE, they offer a conversational approach when working with customers and see their shop as a friend to the neighborhood. Guests drop by for inspiration, gifts, and good conversation with Shannon or her staff. Every single part of this project got me excited. It was my first gut renovation, my largest project to date, and a dream realized. I was excited to have the opportunity to work with even more artists since we were able to expand our offering through the larger footprint of our new storefront. This is my third boutique hotel design project, but by far the most personal one that I have created. Inspiration for this project looked like the moodboards here: For our updated store, I knew that I wanted to use a white metal shelving system throughout the space and then a pop-color shelving system in our bathrooms. Shelfology offered perfect options for both. In our retail space, a lot of our artist-made objects are colorful and bright, and we like to have the fixtures feel neutral to allow them to pop. In the bathrooms, we used a colored 1” tile throughout and paired them with a complimentary color shelf for our guests to use during their stay. I love the versatility of these fixtures. Thanks, Shannon! As South Street aficionados, we look forward to having one more reason to visit the coolest neighborhood in Philly.

After working in Fashion Design for over twelve years (Ralph Lauren, American Eagle Outfitters, and Urban Outfitters), its founder Shannon launched her inspiring storefront via a series of experimental pop-ups and a small but charming web shop of just twelve objects. She constantly looks to create an intersection between design and community in her work and to create spaces that invite discovery and have unexpected references and details. Named “The Coolest Shop in Philadelphia” by Bon Appétit in 2019, the YOWIE brand has extended its outreach to include interactive design workshops, creative/art direction, interior design consulting for hospitality clients, and most recently, a thirteen-room boutique hotel and cafe.
