Bohemian clothing brand opens first Sacramento-area store: ‘Elegance, color and whimsy’
A longtime Bohemian clothing brand opened its first store in the Sacramento area with price tags matching its garments’ quality.
Los Angeles-based Johnny Was has opened the doors to its new store in the Fountains at Roseville at 1013 Galleria Blvd., Suite 180, according to the retail center’s website.
Advertised as a one-stop shop for Bohemian fashion, Johnny Was’ wares are designed for a last-minute beach trip or a planned look for an event, according to the retailer.
Johnny Was joins a list of retailers at the Fountains at Roseville, including Whole Foods, West Elm, Dave & Busters and Mikuni.
What is Johnny Was?
Founded in 1987 by artist and entrepreneur Eli Levite, Johnny Was is “a line of Bohemian tunics resplendent in artisan-inspired embroidery and global inspirations,” according to its website.
“Eli is now seen as someone who had his finger (and paintbrush) on the pulse of a (woman’s) desire to infuse her style with elegance, color and whimsy,” the retailer added.
The retail chain sells boho clothing, of course, but also products ranging from high-quality swimwear and kimonos to shoes and Italian-made leather bags.
A shopping trip at Johnny Was won’t be cheap.
Customer favorites range from a $130 T-shirt constructed with 100% breathable linen to a $598 floral maxi dress made with 100% silk.
The clothing retailer has more than 100 locations, including sites in Napa, Walnut Creek, Corte Madera and Santa Clara.
