First time in a Johnny Was store! As so excited to see this shop as I was strolling in Palm Canyon during Small Business Saturday. Just weeks before a friend was wearing a gorgeous face mask and when I inquired about where she bought it, she said Johnny Was. I was like, huh? Johnny who? After a quick search I found their online store and immediately purchased a four pack of their gorgeous masks. If we have to wear them, we may as wear fashionable ones! It was wonderful to see and touch the clothing and accessories in person. The prints are intricate and vibrant, some embroidered, others silk, all stylish and high quality. So happy I came upon this shop! Of course I bought several packs of masks to give as gifts and a new dress for myself! Those working there were super helpful and cheerful. Great shopping experience!

Bohemian bourgeois boutique. This colorful and vivacious shop located in the heart of downtown Palm Desert has exquisite gowns, sweaters, shirts and bags for lavish prices (200+). My aunt introduced me to Johnny Was. There is a small sale area that housed a gorgeous embroidered jacket. Initially priced over $600, it was reduced to $425. I instantly loved it, but decided to think about the investment further. I returned to the shop after seeing a lovely gown ($350ish) in the window. While the gown didn't fit my form properly, the jacket did...The clothes truly are one-of-a-kind. The two staff members, Jacquelyn & Jeanette, were both incredibly helpful, friendly, and down-to-earth. I felt genuinely welcomed into the store, which, given my post-yoga appearance (disheveled hair, jeans, tank top), was a lovely surprise, as I have previously encountered pretentious staff members in boutiques. Jacquelyn & Jeanette far exceeded my expectations with their kindness. Thanks, ladies!

A very contemporary clothing store that combines casual, classic and comfort all in one…read more Think nice polos, woven attire, blends, breathable fabrics, swimwear, summer trends, stylish business adjacent, quality belts, cool accessories, and even some miscellaneous giftable items as well. Division Menswear doesn't have an active website (or active social media) at the moment, but they are incorporating even more styles and popular items including a select few items you might find in neighboring places along Arenas. The value for clothing is pretty fair as the quality is very high. The service is chill, campy and caring. I'd pass by here more times than I can count, but never been inside. A few things caught my eye and in my size, but were a little warm for the summer time. The guys in the hub/center of the store were helpful and even gave my friend Cliff a nice happy birthday when they asked what brought us to PS during the extreme heat season. Definitely will be back #SupportSmallBiz Easy parking lot off on the side alley off Arenas Rd just next to it and mostly easy to spot with a colorful sign next to Palm Springs Piercing Co (permanently closed). Note: If you walk past Streetbar (in the direction of Hunters) you've gone too far. If you get to the light on Indian Canyon... you've also gone too far.

Had a lot of Palm Springs weather type clothing. Prices reflect the quality too. Have a drink on…read morethe street and then shop away! Also found out that the owner is a local resident, works the floor and knows his inventory. He also can order any specialty items.
