What Happened To Gambol? The Story Behind Our Old Name (And What's Left In The Archive)
If you've been with us a while, you might remember us by a different name. Before we were Complicated Co., we were Gambol.
Same organic cotton. Same people making it happen from Stratford-upon-Avon. Just not the same name on the label.
We've still got some of that original Gambol stock sitting in the archive, and we'd rather it went to people who'll actually wear it than sit in a box gathering dust. So we're clearing it out at 50% off.
Here's the story, what's left, and why once it's gone, it's gone for good.
Who was Gambol?
Gambol was the name we traded under before Complicated Co. existed. It's always about organic cotton pieces designed for how life actually feels, not just how it looks in a photo. Caps, hoodies, sweatshirts, tees, socks. Comfortable, well made, built to last.
When we rebranded to Complicated Co., the clothing came with us. The people making it, the fabric we choose, the standards we hold it to. None of that changed. What changed was the name on the label, and the way we talk about what we do: clothing for complicated lives, one part of a wider ecosystem that also includes coaching and honest conversation.
Why we're clearing the Gambol Archive
We don't believe in making more than needs to exist. So instead of quietly discontinuing the last of the Gambol stock, we're selling it through properly, at a genuine discount, while it lasts.
There's no ongoing “Gambol range.” This is it. Once these pieces sell out, we won't be reordering them under the old name . If you want a piece of where Complicated Co. started, this is the only chance.

That's over 50% off across the board, on the same organic cotton quality we still use today.
Is it really the same quality?
Yes. It's genuine organic cotton, made by the same people, to the same standard we build every Complicated Co. piece to now. The only thing dated about it is the name.
Will the Gambol Archive be restocked?
No. Once a size or style sells out, it's gone. We're not reordering under the Gambol name.

We built this business on being honest about what things are, including our own history. Gambol is part of how we got here, and this is the last chance to own a piece of it, at the biggest discount we'll ever put on organic cotton we stand behind.
