Bombas is an American apparel brand. The company is known mainly for their socks, but has since expanded into other clothing categories. The majority of its sales are made direct-to-consumer, augmented by a small percentage from wholesale partners.[1] For every item purchased, a clothing item is donated to a homeless shelter or homelessness-related charity.
History
Bombas launched in 2013, after founders Randy Goldberg and David Heath[2] learned that socks are the most requested clothing item in homeless shelters.[3] They established the brand's mission to donate one pair of socks for every pair purchased.[3]
The company first received funding in 2013, raising nearly $145,000 through the crowdfunding website Indiegogo. A year later, the company raised $1 million in seed funding from friends and family.[4]
