ABOUT THE BRAND
Banana Republic is an accessible luxury brand inspired by life in the City. It offers stylish essentials and sophisticated seasonal collections for men and women. From work to casual occasions, Banana Republic is the home of covetable, uncomplicated style.
Banana Republic has always focused on great working wardrobe solutions for men and women - producing high quality classics, with modern silhouettes and proportions that nod to trends but are not dictated by them.
FOUNDED
Banana Republic was founded in 1978 by Mel and Patricia Ziegler in Mill Valley, California, as purveyor of military surplus clothing and safari adventure wear. As Banana Republic expanded its retail operation, it became known for the themed decoration in its stores, often featuring authentic elements, such as real Jeeps and foliage.
Gap Inc. acquired Banana Republic in 1983, eventually rebranding it as a mainstream luxury clothing retailer for men and women.
With its headquarters in San Francisco, today Banana Republic has more than 500 stores in the United States, Canada and Japan as well as franchises in Bahrain, Indonesia, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Muscat, Oman and Turkey.
Banana Republic opened its first European store on Regent Street, London in March 2008 and its 2nd store in December 2009 at Brent Cross Shopping Centre, London.
