Our Legacy and Today

Our founders were progressive entrepreneurs who embodied the pioneering spirit of San Francisco. They loved traveling and collecting surplus clothing, which they used to outfit the store.

They also created an award-winning catalog that continues to inspire us today. Known as The Travelogue, each issue featured unique illustrations, witty copy, and actual product reviews from renowned writers, including Hunter S. Thompson, Nora Ephron, and more.

Today, Banana Republic is a premier destination for attainable luxury and heritage classics with a twist. We're a global lifestyle brand selling menswear, womenswear, baby, athletics, accessories, footwear, fragrances, and home.
