The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay bluesJune 4, 2008Original posting dated 12/27/07; scroll down for the latest UPDATES THROUGH 2/27/2009: The Bombay Company, Inc. has agreed to sell its intellectual property, which includes the Bombay brand name, to Bombay Brands, LLC, a joint venture of Hilco Consumer Capital and Gordon Brothers Group. Hilco Consumer Capital will assume day-to-day brand management responsibilities and immediately undertake a strategic brand rebuilding program designed to leverage the intrinsic value of the Bombay name. Assistance will be provided by The Bombay Company estate, which retains a 25% interest in Bombay Brands, and Graj + Gustavsen, a brand strategies and marketing firm.
John Collins, an executive with Hilco Consumer Capital, was named President and Chief Marketing Officer of Bombay Brands. Collins has more than 25 years of experience and success in managing and marketing famous-name brands, including Nike, Bauer, Tommy Armour Golf, Volant Ski, Canon Inc., and Kubik.
“The Bombay brand differentiates itself through a lifestyle approach in the home furnishings category,” Collins said. “It offers terrific opportunities for expansion and development into a whole new range of highly desirable and affordable consumer lifestyle products. Our plan will generate new products through licensed wholesalers and bring them to market through strategic retail and brand franchisee partners."
Elaine D. Crowley, SVP, CFO & Treasurer of The Bombay Company, Inc. noted, "We are very pleased that the Bombay name will have the opportunity to flourish under the new venture. We look forward to working with the venture partners to rebuild the Bombay brand."
The Bombay Company expects to completely vacate its corporate offices in Fort Worth, Tx. by the second quarter of 2008. GC Museum Partners acquired the 125,071-sq.-ft. property for $16.35 million. Until its recent bankruptcy and liquidation of assets, The Bombay Company, Inc. designed, sourced and marketed home accessories, wall decor and furniture through 384 retail outlets and the Internet in the U.S. and internationally.
Toronto -- Hilco Consumer Capital Corp. has hired the New York based branding firm Graj+Gustavsen (G+G) to reposition and package the newly acquired Bombay Brands, LLC, excluding Canada. The Bombay Brand offers terrific opportunities for expansion and development into a new range of highly desirable and affordable consumer lifestyle products. Hilco’s plan will generate new products through licensed wholesalers and bring them to market through strategic retail and brand franchisee partners.

In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues Thompson Lange commented: Re: Bombay branding, it will be interesting to see if this works for them. On 12/30 I was in our local franchise buying up store fixtures and equipment and feeling like a vulture (but swivel hang diplays for $15...whatchya gonna do and I NEEDED that hand-truck) and when I got back to the store the staff was surprised that the company had gone under...though none had been a Bombay Co. store in years. So there MIGHT be a lingering fondness for the brand before the quality got iffy. If they up the quality and do enough research on what works in a modern home (traditional is one thing, but Great-grandma's house is another), they might be able to make a silk purse out of the sow's ear of their demise.

I have furnished my house through the bombay store for many years, they will truly be missed. I felt like I had stock in Bombay, however, not. Such a loss!!

In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues Kristin commented: I worked for the Bombay Company for three years at the retail level. I never thought that there was an issue with the quality or design of the furniture. However, there was a huge issue with the training as well as tools that the home office provided to the stores. It's rediculous to think that the store did not provide associates with guidelines to nonnegotiable selling behaviors, associate sales goals, and associate observation forms to observe associate performace like every single other retail company that I have worked for since. I feel that Bombay's demise is in part the fault of the corporate sales team for not realizing that they weren't impacting customer experience by forgetting about such important selling tools. The company basically had no selling strategy or selling culture what so ever.

In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues Julia commented: I worked at Bombay right before they closed. It's really sad to see such a wonderful store go out of business. I hated the whole liquidation process. The customers were rude! They weren't our normal customers, just a bunch of cheapskates who wanted everything for pennys. And they would get upset if you didn't have multiple items on stock, if you were still getting shipments but didn't know what was on them, if you couldn't hold items, if you couldn't give them an additional 10% off the 40% they were already getting off, etc. Even our regular customers stopped coming and were tired of all the haggling. It was really really tough. The employees I worked with were wonderful and driven and such a bunch of close knit of people. I wish I had started earlier. I was lucky to walk away with some fabulous pieces (two glamor chests, a geoffery mirror, benton chairs). I'm glad to hear it's coming back. If it does, I will definitely reapply.

Their niche was unique traditonal accent pieces assemple yourself long before Ikea and others were in the US. Early American Life and Colonial Homes magazines used to feature their pieces in small ads in the late 1970's. The company had supply and distribution issues as well as ttying to keep their market vibrant by expanding to biedermier and other later styles.

Every manager they brought in was worse than the last-outright rude to long time customers and would lie about delivery dates and sometimes never even order the merchandise. Even though corporate got numerous complaints nothing was done and I finally had to leave. I loved the store and really miss the style of merchandise. I guess I was lucky to get the pieces I have with my employee discount and I still treasure all of it.

I am a photographer and have used these boxes for my wedding proofs for 2 years now. I am down to the last 5 boxes and can not find anything that compares to this boxes size and beauty. Please email LZOLLA@optonline.net if anyone has any information. Thanks you in advance.

November 11, 2008
In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues Smiley 5 commented: Andrea- I doubt you will ever get to use that $179 gift certificate. If Bombay does reopen, that gift card will be invalid under the new company. You may want to call corporate, but they did refund for gift cards last fall.

Anyone have any ideas where I can get them? Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues Mariel commented: Wow, I didn't know so many other people had the 'Bombay Blues' like me! I absolutely love all of my Bombay Co. purchases, from a black-granite-topped bombay chest to a large burnt orange pumpkin, to name a few. I got most of my stuff for 30 to 50% off with their online coupons, as well as mailouts, throughout the years. When they closed their doors, it was probably the biggest letdown I ever felt in terms of a retailer. When they open their doors again in some capacity, I'll be there.

It makes my day to know the brand name could very well make its way back to the States!

What's up with that??

In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues Brian commented: Bombay failed because their prices went through the roof for 3rd world merchandise. On top of trying to bluff the consumer into believing the products were high quality just by raising the sell price to unrealistic levels, all their real estate and store overhead was in the highest cost areas. Anyone who really looked at most of their stuff knew it was really worth about half of what they were trying to sell it for. It’s that simple.

In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues MJV in SC commented: I worked for the Bombay Company from 2004-2006 as an assistant manager. It was - without question - the worst company I have EVER worked for. Absolutely no integrity from the corporate heads all the way down to the district managers. The stories are so endless that I've even heard of support groups for former employees. Disgusting. The product was great for a while, until we started trying to compete and lost sight of OUR customer so that one particulair member of home office could decorated his apartment the way he liked. Unfortunately, his style was not Bombay's customer's style. I have to admit, though I loathe the company I worked for, I long to see the style of classic Bombay come alive again under its new branding. It is GREATLY missed by its customer.

I wish the old Bombay Company would come back and learned from their mistakes of the past.

In response to: The Bombay Company's rebranding may offer relief for the Bombay blues Ms. Allen commented: I worked at the Bombay store in Silver Spring, Md. I loved the products and furniture that was offered and was very unhappy when the store closed. It was my first and only retail job. The only thing I didn't like about the store was how the employees were treated by the managers, they were not employee friendly at all! Gordon Brothers were much friendly and easier to work with. I think Bombays demise was contributed to a lack of strong marketing/sales policy which cost the company a lot in shrinkage. However, the products were the best and I can't wait for the new opening whether in stores or oneline.
