Boden, a British clothing retailer with a Contact Center in Pittston, PA started with a shirt. Well, eight to be precise. In 1991 when Johnnie Boden couldn't find a 'just right' shirt, he crafted them himself from his kitchen table. Years later and he's fronting a major British clothing brand. It took hard work, determination - countless cups of tea - and brand values that we still champion today; stylish, grounding, uplifting.
At Boden, we inspire you to live your best life. Stylish, grounded, uplifting – that’s us. We behave like your best friend. We always strive to improve and grow. We curate a world of beauty that’s ethical, inclusive – and importantly – good fun. We inspire you to live your best life. We are Boden!
