Indian menswear label The Bear House has taken its first concrete step into global retail with the launch of a store at Al Ghurair Centre in Dubai, marking the brand’s international debut. The outlet spans roughly eleven hundred square feet and signals the start of an expansion strategy aimed at building a meaningful presence in overseas markets.
The Bengaluru-born brand, founded in 2017 by Tanvi and Harsh Somaiya, has spent the last several years cultivating a strong domestic base with a style vocabulary shaped by European fashion cues. That combination of minimal tailoring, modern silhouettes and consistent product quality has helped it scale across online marketplaces and physical stores in several Indian cities.
Dubai will now serve as the first test market for its global ambitions. The new store carries forward the label’s visual language with a sharply contoured façade, curated display elements and signature bear motifs that have become part of its identity. The launch has been executed in partnership with Omnis Group, a UAE retail operator known for introducing emerging fashion brands across the Middle East.
Akarsh Gautam, who leads Omnis Group, noted that the partnership is built around capturing young, design-conscious shoppers in the region. He said The Bear House fits well within the company’s portfolio of contemporary brands that emphasise authenticity and craftsmanship.
Within India, The Bear House continues to deepen its reach in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune and Chandigarh, supported by a strong presence on Myntra, Ajio, Amazon, Flipkart and Tata Cliq. Its appearance on the fourth season of Shark Tank India also gave it wider visibility among urban consumers and helped sharpen its brand story.
With the Dubai store now operational, the company is preparing for additional locations across Abu Dhabi and select European markets as it moves from a homegrown label to a global name.
