Bombay Trooper, a standout name in the fashion industry, is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a renewed commitment to innovation, sustainability, and design. Known for seamlessly blending creativity with functionality and style with comfort, the brand has consistently pushed the boundaries of what fashion can be.
"Bombay Trooper is more than just a clothing brand; we are a lifestyle brand that celebrates travel, adventure, exploration, and a sense of responsibility toward the planet and the environment," said Jugal Mistry, Founder of Bombay Trooper. "Our latest collection introduces never-before-seen designs, functional basics, and sustainable alternatives. We've launched a collection of designer bags upcycled from canvas fabric salvaged from military tents and trucks, and apparel made from recycled PET bottles. Our outdoor and activewear collection, featuring innovative designs, is a must-have for any traveler. Additionally, our flagship category, Hoppers, continues to expand, with over 150 styles now available in various prints, fabrics, and textures."
The brand recently introduced its Plastic Neutrality Program, which offsets the weight of all synthetic goods sold by removing an equivalent amount of plastic waste from the ocean. "With this 10-year makeover, we have created a brand and catalog that reflect our evolution across design, values, and ambition," Mistry added.
Bombay Trooper began its journey in 2013 as one of the early direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands in India, selling exclusively on its website, bombaytrooper.com. Over the past decade, the brand has evolved from pioneering the Print On Demand model as a T-shirt company to crafting innovative travel apparel from recycled plastics. What has remained constant is its passion for good design, insatiable curiosity, and unyielding drive for innovation. From quirky prints to offbeat backpack designs, Bombay Trooper has captured the hearts of fashion enthusiasts and wanderers alike.
To commemorate its 10-year milestone, the brand has redesigned its logo, revamped its website with striking visuals of travel and the outdoors, and launched new product categories across various verticals. A key highlight of the brand’s offerings is its range of Hoppers – versatile, one-size-fits-all pants known for their breathable comfort. Available in a variety of fabrics such as light cotton, denim, quick-dry materials, and corduroy, Hoppers are designed for those who prioritize comfort without compromising on style. Whether for travel, yoga, gym sessions, or lounging at home, there is a pair of Hoppers suited for every occasion.
Bombay Trooper’s product range is designed to cater to all seasons and landscapes. From Polar Fleece Jackets for stylish warmth to luxury linen-based Vacay Shirts inspired by land and sea topography, each piece is designed to stand out. The brand’s new Printed T-shirt range features remarkable illustrated artworks, including the "Treks of India" series, "Mountain Faces of the World," the "Indian National Park" collection, the "Sketches of India" (Landmarks) collection, and more.
Beyond clothing and accessories, Bombay Trooper showcases its design innovation through limited-edition projects like the "Elements of Nature" playing cards—a deck reimagining each suit to reflect natural elements such as Trees (Spades), Mountains (Diamonds), Clouds (Clubs), and Leaves (Hearts). This unique set comes in a luxurious travel carry case.
Bombay Trooper is not just about products; it represents a lifestyle. Through its Instagram and blog, the brand shares insights on travel, nature, and exploration, building a community of like-minded individuals who celebrate this culture. "Our vision is to put an Indian brand on the global map of travel and outdoor clothing," said Mistry. "With travel and travel-related spending reaching unprecedented levels, a new generation of consumers is emerging—those who seek conscious, practical gear. Traditional fashion brands often lack functionality, while sports brands miss the mark on style. At Bombay Trooper, we are bridging this gap."
As Bombay Trooper continues to grow, it remains committed to offering more than just fashion. It’s a movement that embraces comfort, celebrates individuality and creativity, and promotes sustainable practices. For those ready to embark on new adventures with confidence and ease, Bombay Trooper offers the perfect blend of style and functionality while giving back to the planet.
