Banana Republic Offers International Flair

Banana Republic offers casual luxury clothing with an internationally fashionable flair that goes everywhere. The Banana Republic Company was founded in 1978 by Mel and Patricia Zigler and offered safari and travel clothing, predominantly sold through an eccentric catalog with fictional exotic stories. Later, Banana Republic expanded its retail operation with wild stores featuring foliage, steamy fog and real Jeeps to add atmosphere around the clothing. In 1983, Gap Inc. acquired Banana Republic and made it into a mainstream retailer selling luxury clothing that appeals to people worldwide. Banana Republic stores exist in the United States, Canada, Japan and Tokyo with future stores opening in locations such as Kuwait, Indonesia, and Korea.
