Boho Prints: History, Personality & Styling Guide

Boho prints are for the free spirit who refuses to be defined by convention. Eclectic, layered, and deeply personal — boho style is a way of life.

History of Boho Prints

Bohemian style emerged from the artistic communities of 19th century Paris and was revived in the 1960s and 1970s counterculture. Boho prints draw from global textile traditions — Indian block prints, Moroccan patterns, Native American textiles, and more — creating an eclectic, worldly aesthetic.
