Maroon Bell Outdoor was launched in 2016. Our founder grew up outside of Denver and is a fourth generation Coloradan. The vision for Maroon Bell Outdoor is to create a distinct brand of adventure apparel, classic enough for the city but tough enough for the outdoors. We don’t use investors, give 3% back to non-profits and build awareness by popping up at festivals, markets and events. By growing the brand at a grassroots level, we maintain creative control, help the community around us, regulate the pace of scale and meet the consumers purchasing our designs.
