Valentina Muntoni and Stephanie Bennett founded London-based Rat & Boa in 2015. Selling bold, bohemian clothes directly to customers, the pair wanted to make women feel confident and free, and their fresh take on feminine fashion quickly built a devoted following. But they're not the only brand offering luxury bohemian-style clothes online. Here are nine brands like Rat & Boa you can shop right away.
For fans of Rat & Boa, Faithfull the Brand offers a similar free-spirited charm through its handcrafted dresses and airy fabrics. Founded in 2014 by Australian Sarah-Jane Abrahams and Norwegian Helle Them-Enger, Faithfull marries vintage-inspired patterns with modern sensibilities. A certified B Corp, each piece from Faithfull is handmade by skilled local artisans.
Like Rat & Boa, Reformation is known for its dresses that emphasize flattering fits and its focus on sustainability. The brand was founded in 2009 by Yael Aflalo and began as a small storefront in Los Angeles. Now, Reformation is one of the internet’s go-to brands for fashion-forward sustainable womenswear. Its collections blend vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern appeal.
Founded in 2011 by childhood friends Laura Hall and Gillian Rose Kern, For Love and Lemons began as a celebration of feminine design and romantic aesthetics. Its detailed, delicate design and ethereal style aligns closely with the free-spirited, bold looks of Rat & Boa.
Its collections include almost everything from intricate lace dresses to whimsical swimwear and its SKIVVIES lingerie line launched in 2014, which revolutionized the concept of lingerie as outerwear.
Like Rat & Boa, Réalisation Par offers a range of dresses that capture a flirtatious and playful vibe with designs that are often centered around bold patterns and figure-hugging silhouettes. The brand was founded by Alexandra Spencer and Teale Talbot in 2015 with a handful of signature silhouettes, including its now-iconic Alexandra wrap dress.
Known for its boho style akin to Rat & Boa’s, Free People has been a favorite since its origins as a retail store in Wayne, Pennsylvania. It’s now one of fashion’s best-known bohemian style brands. Its range spans from its signature maxi dresses to intimates and activewear.
Hill House Home started out as a luxury bedding company but has now expanded into a lifestyle brand offering everything from bedding and other homewares to clothing and swimwear. The brand’s best-known piece is its wear-everywhere Nap Dress® — soft, comfortable, and pretty enough to wear all day and night.
London-based ME+EM makes pieces that are “flattering and functional, with wear-forever appeal.” The brand was founded in 2009 by Clare Hornby in response to a simple question: why should women choose between quality and affordability? To keep costs down, the brand operates a direct-to-consumer model, eliminating middlemen to deliver premium pieces without the traditional markup.
Founded by mother-daughter duo Marie and Nathalie Dewet in Lille, France, Maison Cléo began as a rebellion against fast fashion's impersonal approach. Each of its releases are limited-quantity and are all crafted in its Lille workshop using deadstock fabrics. But if you want a Maison Cléo piece, you’ll need to be fast as they often sell out shortly after going online.
LESET was founded in 2019 with the vision to redefine loungewear for the modern wardrobe.Taking its name from the French word for "the set," the brand launched with a focus on creating coordinated pieces that could transition seamlessly from private to public spaces, challenging the traditional boundaries between loungewear and ready-to-wear.
