More about Banana Republic

Banana Republic is an American clothing and accessories chain retailer owned by American multinational corporation, Gap Inc. Banana Republic was originally co-founded by Mel and Patricia Ziegler in 1978. It all began when Mel was searching for a replacement for his well-worn military surplus jacket, one of his favorite jackets. After a long search Mel purchased a British Burma jacket in a Sydney disposal store but wasn’t really comfortable with the strong military look and stiffness of the jacket. His wife was able to alter the jacket to make it more comfortable and “everyday” looking. He received many compliments on his new jacket from family and friends and the Zieglers were prompted into creating and opening the Banana Republic Travel and Safari Clothing Company in Mill Valley, San Francisco.

It has been said that Banana Republic Inc has been to khaki what Levi’s was to denim. From the very beginning Banana Republic sold a concept as well as clothing; they had created a unique look and a strong identity in their merchandise. Their original catalogues were eye catching with their bold ink and water color drawings of gurkha shorts, paratrooper briefcases and flight jackets, all travel themed and full of adventure. Their merchandise was all constructed with natural fibers. This unique safari style and fashion was very appealing to a young professional crowd in the age group of 25 to 44.

The Banana Republic was purchased by Gap in 1983. This venture proved very successful in the specialty fashion market for the Gap as the clientele niche for the Banana Republic was a higher income white collar professional market. The stores were decorated with a safari theme with Bush planes hung from the ceilings, thatched roof huts, jeeps and wild animals were scattered throughout the store. The sales growth was high, much higher than many other apparel competitors through the mid 1980’s.

In the late 1980’s there was a slump in sales and management of Banana Republic. They changed their focus from the safari look and went with a more modern cruise line fashion. New management and focus towards a more relaxed, urban lifestyle image in their advertising and merchandise turned Banana Republic around.

Today Banana Republic operates as a separate division of the Gap with over 600 stores located in the United States and internationally. It has recently branched out to sell more than clothing and accessories and now offers housewares, personal care items, footwear and dressy as well as casual clothes.
