Johnny Was Outlet at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets on Paseo Del Norte stocks the Los Angeles-based brand's signature bohemian women's apparel at outlet pricing. Founded in 1987 in Southern California, the label built its identity on artisan-inspired embroidery, flowing silk silhouettes, and vibrant globally sourced prints — a luxury bohemian aesthetic that pairs naturally with the structured leather handbag collections at COACH Outlet across the complex. The Carlsbad store carries embroidered tunics, reversible kimonos, printed maxi dresses, and layered accessories spanning the full Johnny Was product line. Named after a Bob Marley track from the 1976 album, the brand reached roughly $200 million in annual revenue under Endeavour Capital ownership since 2015. Silk charmeuse blouses, hand-embroidered velvet jackets, and printed resort collections share floor space alongside the global-bohemian home textiles that distinguish the brand from neighboring outlet tenants like Anthropologie. Signature pieces use multi-needle chain-stitch embroidery on silk velvet and modal-blend base fabrics — a hand-finishing process producing the dense floral and paisley patterning that separates the line from screen-printed bohemian competitors.
