Banana Republic is an American clothing retailer established in 1978 by Mel and Patricia Ziegler. The brand began as a small two-store operation specializing in safari-themed products and clothing. An original hand-illustrated catalogue and exotic safari-themed store decor generated buzz and excitement for this brand.
The Gap, Inc., known for brands like Old Navy and Piperlime, acquired this brand in 1983. With the acquisition, the brand saw a shift in its product line and became more upscale with the sale of high-end fashion, fragrances and accessories. The first scent was launched in 1995.
