Bohme

Bohme Inc is a distinctive apparel and fashion company that specializes in women's clothing. It was founded by sisters Vivien and Fernanda Bohme, who immigrated from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to the United States as young girls. The company was established in 2006 when the sisters were just 23 and 24 years old. Vivien serves as the CEO, bringing a sharp business acumen to the table, while Fernanda, as the Creative Director, contributes her keen eye for design. The company's ethos revolves around not just selling clothing but helping customers find their personal style and express their true selves through fashion. Bohme Inc prides itself on creating a welcoming environment in their stores, where customers are treated as friends and are assisted in overcoming shopping frustrations to find what they're looking for. In terms of product development, Bohme Inc is committed to quality and style. Their design and buying teams work extensively to source the best materials and manufacturers. They ensure that each clothing piece is tried on and fitted to real people, not just mannequins, to guarantee a true-to-life fit. Bohme Inc also places a strong emphasis on ethical production. They strive to work with factories that provide fair wages and humane working conditions, especially for their private labels manufactured both in the USA and abroad. While they carry outside brands, they are continually working towards improving their processes to ensure all their products are developed ethically. Giving back to the community is a core principle at Bohme Inc. The company actively supports nonprofit organizations and causes, including local women's shelters, health societies, and orphanages in Brazil. They encourage their employees to volunteer and offer paid time off for them to do so. The company has been recognized for its growth and leadership, being named one of the Top Women-Run Businesses on the Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Companies list. They have also been featured in prominent publications like The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, US Weekly, and Cosmopolitan Magazine. Notably, Bohme Inc was awarded the SBA Utah Top Business of the Year, and the founders received the Small Business Person of the Year awards. Today, Bohme Inc operates several store locations across the western United States and employs over 200 women, continuing to expand its reach and influence in the fashion industry.
