Johnny Was: Vintage-Inspired Bohemian Clothing for the Sophisticated Free Spirit
Founded in 1987 by Eli Levite, Johnny Was started as a small boutique in Los Angeles, California, and has since blossomed into a globally recognised name, enchanting fashion enthusiasts with its unique aesthetic and rich history. Inspired by the Bob Marley refrain "Johnny was a good man," the brand offers beautifully crafted boho chic fashions and accessories for the modern free spirit. Each Johnny Was piece embodies the brand's commitment to celebrating global artisanship while creating clothing that feels effortlessly elegant — wearable art that tells a story through intricate embroidery, hand-painted prints, and flowing silhouettes.
Luxurious Fabrics, Rich Velvets and Signature Embroidery
Using luxurious silk prints and rich velvets, the brand emphasises luxury and enduring beauty, creating timeless wardrobe staples that transcend seasons and trends through intricate detailing, hand-stitched embroidery and easy care fabrics. The brand's signature embroidery work draws inspiration from travels across India, Peru and Morocco, resulting in pieces that feel authentically worldly — florals, geometric patterns and metallic threadwork that catch the light beautifully. Whether you are looking for a statement piece for an upcoming event, a perfect last-minute beach getaway outfit, or simply adding to your wardrobe with vintage-inspired clothing that embraces colour and life, Johnny Was dresses, tops and jackets deliver on every level.

We recommend cold machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid tumble drying. Air-dry in the shade to preserve fabric integrity, colour, and shape. Some pieces (silk, wool, sequins) require dry cleaning. Always check the care label sewn into the garment first.
