Boden is a British clothing brand known for colourful, cheerful and well-made clothes for women, men and children. Founded by Johnnie Boden in 1991 as a mail-order catalogue business, it has grown into an internationally recognised label with a strong following in the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and Australia.
The brand’s signature style mixes classic British tailoring with bold prints and bright colours. While it sells clothing for the whole family, women’s fashion is at the heart of the business, and many of its loyal customers are women in their 30s and 40s looking for stylish, practical pieces.
