Johnny Was

Johnny Was is a women’s clothing brand with a store on Fenton Main Street in Cary. It is known for chic clothing, signature prints, and a vintage-inspired style that has followed the label since the start.

The shop carries dresses, tops, and accessories, including the silk pieces that made the label’s name. The clothes are made with quality materials and are meant to be worn together and layered, which the brand sums up as an heirloom in the making. Off duty, as they put it, does not have to mean undone.
