Bohemia started out as an online vintage clothing boutique and quickly transformed into something else completely new. We added our own jewelry line and also decided to carry items from up and coming designers around our area. This addition of new designers helped for us to create a new category, Bohemia Home, something we are very excited to offer to our customers. We will always carry vintage items, our first love, but also will continue to add new and exciting designers and goods!!
The we in Bohemia refers to me, Holly, owner and designer, and my wonderful, loving, and very patient husband Ryan, who is the technical wizard. After all the grief I've put Ryan through trying to achieve my vision of Bohemia, he deserves major props!
We are always updating the site and adding new merchandise so make sure to check back frequently. Oh yeah, one last thing, be original, have fun with fashion, and never cease to find freedom in expression.

Vintage and older clothing is sized differently than today's modern clothing, so we measure each item according to the guidelines below. We try to measure as accurately and exactly as possible.
Blouses, Vests,
and Blazers
1) The arm length is measured from the shoulder to the wrist.
2) The bust is measured from the armpit seam to the other armpit seam, and
then that measurement is doubled
3) The length is measured from the shoulder to the hem.
4) The waist is measured where the natural waist would fall and then doubled.
Dresses and Skirts
1) Skirt length is measured from waist to the hem and dress length is
measured from the shoulder to the hem.
2) The waist is measured where a natural waist would fall and then doubled.
3) The hips are measured where a natural hip would fall and then doubled.
Pants
1) The inseam is measured from the top of the inseam to the bottom of the
hem.
2) Waist is measured and then doubled.
Shoes and Boots
If the size is irregular, we measure the shoe or boot lengthwise from the
bottom of the shoe heel to the toe, and the width is measured across the sole
at the ball of the foot.
If the size is a regular, modern size, I list it by the label
If you have any questions or inquiries please feel free to email me.
HOW WE RATE CLOTHING CONDITION
I try to offer high quality, good condition items, but remember this is vintage and previously worn clothing, and its condition varies. Try to remember this when making your selections. I will describe the items to the best of my ability and will tell of any major flaws. The way I rate is described below:
Mint - un-used, un-worn, perfect
Excellent - no visible signs of wear or age
Very Good - very slight signs of wear and/or age
Good - some wear, visible stains, or slight age or damage (nothing excessive or bad enough not to wear or reuse)
Too Cool To Hide In A Closet - you know what I mean!!
