For over a century, The Bombay Store has been that anchor, blending history with progress, offering not just products, but pieces of India’s soul.
In order to truly understand The Bombay Store’s journey, we must travel back in time to the year 1906, a truly pivotal moment in India’s history. It was an era of awakening, as the nation sought to redefine itself under the rising banner of independence. In this changing circumstances, The Bombay Store was founded, rooted in the principles of Swadeshi which encouraged embracing locally made products and support indigenous artisans.
The Bombay Store’s founders, inspired by the fervour of self-reliance, envisioned a place where Indians could connect with their own culture, celebrate local craftsmanship, and take pride in the beauty of homegrown products. It was a revolutionary concept at the time, a bold stand against the tides of foreign goods flooding the markets. The Bombay Store thus became more than just a store - it became a breathing symbol of India’s enduring spirit of self-reliance and creativity.
Fast forward to today, and The Bombay Store continues to honour that vision, evolving with the times while staying true to its roots. Every item at The Bombay Store tells a story.
