What to know about Johanna Ortiz
Ruffles and prints do the talking
The house signature is off-the-shoulder ruffled dresses, boleros and capes in tropical or western-inflected prints — decorative rather than pared-back.
Most production stays in Cali
Founded in Cali in 2003 and still led by Johanna Ortiz, the brand makes most of its clothing in its own Colombian workshop, which underpins the very high pricing.
Wider than ready-to-wear
Alongside the main Collection there is Vacation swimwear, accessories and Home, plus a Schumacher fabric and wallcovering collaboration launched in October 2024.
