Ulla Johnson’s line of artisanal,
ultra-feminine ready-to-wear items now available in biweekly or
monthly payments, with no hidden or late fees
Affirm, a more flexible and transparent alternative to credit
cards, today announced a partnership with Ulla Johnson, the
esteemed label of effortless, free-spirited womenswear. Now,
eligible consumers can shop Ulla Johnson’s collection of refined,
globally-inspired and meticulously constructed dresses, handbags,
shoes and more, while paying over time.
By selecting Affirm at checkout on UllaJohnson.com, approved
customers can split the total cost of any purchase over $50 into
biweekly or monthly payments with as low as 0% APR. Shoppers are
shown the total cost of their purchase and will never pay more than
they agree to upfront, as Affirm never charges any late or hidden
fees.
“From Meena Harris to Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift, Ulla
Johnson’s collection has earned countless admirers,” says Silvija
Martincevic, Affirm’s Chief Commercial Officer. "Ulla Johnson
devotees can now use Affirm to pay over time without hidden fees as
they refresh their wardrobes, giving them a transparent and
stress-free option to buy that perfect power top for virtual
meetings or new outfit to dress up again."
Ulla Johnson joins over 7,900 Affirm retail partners, including
leading fashion and luxury merchants like Neiman Marcus, Oscar de
la Renta, Nordstrom and more. Offering Affirm at checkout can drive
overall sales, increase average order value, and increase customer
repurchase rates. In 2019, merchants using Affirm reported 85%
higher average order values when compared to other payment methods,
and in 2020 nearly 67% of purchases were made by repeat Affirm
customers.

About Ulla Johnson
Born and raised in Manhattan, the daughter of archaeologists,
Ulla Johnson honed her signature style between the streets of New
York and the far-flung destinations of their family travels. Her
eponymous line, founded in 2000 just after her graduation from
university, immediately caught the attention of the fashion press.
Growing from a handful of directional boutiques and with an early
endorsement from Barneys New York, Ulla Johnson’s collection has
gained a dedicated following and the support of retailers across
the US, Europe, Australia, and Asia. She has never wavered on her
steadfast attention to the details of construction that have become
her hallmark, basing each of her collections on a foundation of
natural fibers, beautiful finishing, and ease of fit and form.
The Ulla Johnson label has become synonymous with custom prints,
intricate embroideries, and fine tailoring, all of which have
earned her a loyal and global customer base. With the introduction
of a shoe collection in Fall 2013, the line now encompasses a full
range of product categories sourced and produced worldwide with an
emphasis on artisanal and handcrafted processes.
In 2017, Ulla Johnson opened her first boutique in New York
City. Situated on a tree-lined block in NoHo, the boutique is a
light and serene oasis. Summer 2019 saw the opening of the second
New York brick and mortar store, Ulla Johnson Amagansett. Within
the vibrant Amagansett Square, this newest location sits on the
green at the heart of the community.
Ulla lives in Brooklyn with her husband and three children.
