Hello! My name is Katrina.
In 2011 my friends decided to gift me ticket to Burning Man as a birthday present. I didn’t know much about it, and it was just around the corner, so I went there “a little” under prepared.
At one of the wonderful nights I went to the deep Playa asking Universe “What should I do in life?”. I was trying to understand whether all people are getting bored and tired at work or it’s just me. Maybe there is am activity, which can make me happy, and I still have to find it?…
Pretty soon concerns about life got combined with feeling of unbearable cold! Luckily, I jumped on the huge ship, which was passing by, and decided to take a rest. By then I couldn’t feel my fingers and nose:( With knocking teeth and thoughts about my career, I fell asleep… and saw a dream…
I fell in love with this process of creation and decided to take orders from people – as a hobby. Bringing warms, comfort and colorful paradise to other people’s lives is an incredible feeling!
In 2016 I quit my job (b2b marketing in a tech company – ah, San Francisco – tech-tech-tech:)
I went back to school to study fashion design, and now working hard to grow my small fur coat business. Life has become so much nicer and happier!
Firebird was right – all I needed was a fur coat… for such night, and such life…
This is how my baby BohoCoats came to this world.
Conceived in 2011
Born (and registered on Etsy) in 2015
I opened my first showroom and workspace in South San Francisco in 2017.
It was huge since finally all my materials and inventory moved out from our house, and my husband could breathe again))
I've participated in many Fashion Shows: San Francisco Fashion Week, LA Fashion Week, Silicon Valley Fashion Week, Hong Kong Fashion Week and many small regional ones.
We went to many festivals as a Vendor with a crew of my amazing friends, who volunteered to help me. Lightning in a Bottle (every year since 2016), Oregon Eclipse, Beyond Wonderland, Lucidity, Symbiosys, Totality, One Love, Soul Fetish.
Growing and maturing every year. Boho Coats is a family, both as a working team and as a collective group of all our customers.
2020 and 2021 Pandemic wasn't easy. I had to close my space, move everything into storage. Almost lost everything... Got a few new gray hair for sure))
Then in 2022 I moved to Los Angeles. All my coats, almost a hundred of rolls of fabrics, cutting table, sewing machines and more... all moved into a small apartment in Hollywood. Back to the basics again))
And finally in 2023 I reopened a showroom and workspace in a Fashion District of Downtown LA.
The journey continues! Happy to create new beautiful pieces.
My coat is magical, and it has already received two overt threats of impending theft should my head turn. The transaction and communication have been wonderful. I would recommend Katrina to anyone seeking something unique and beautiful.
Dear J.R., thank you so much for your amazing review! I’m thrilled to hear that you’re loving your Blue Dharma Dragon Fur Coat. It sounds like it’s already making quite an impression! ✨ Your kind words about the transaction and communication mean the world to us. I’m so happy that you had a wonderful experience. Thank you for recommending Boho Coats to others seeking something unique and beautiful.
Had an outstanding experience at BOHOcoats, super nice communication and the quality of the material as well as the work is great. Will definitely come back for more :)
The coat is amazing very well made and Katrina works well with you if you don’t like something !! I first purchased this item with the removable sleeves but didn’t like them so Katrina re did the coat and sent me another one 🤠
I cannot tell you how in love I am with my new vest, it is amazing. I want to thank BoHo Coats for being so helpful and accommodating. I will definitely be getting another piece to add to my collection. If you don’t have anything by them yet put them on your must get list!
