Banana Republic is Gap Inc.'s premium division, founded in 1978 by Mel and Patricia Ziegler as the Banana Republic Travel & Safari Clothing Company and bought by Gap in 1983. Since a 2021 repositioning it trades on that travel heritage: safari and field jackets, leather outerwear, cashmere knits, silk and linen suiting, wide-leg trousers, plus a Banana Republic Home line. Pricing sits above Gap and Old Navy, campaigns are shot on location, and the brand runs roughly 400 stores across the US, Canada, Japan and franchise markets.
