Banana Republic began in 1978 as a travel-themed store by Mel and Patricia Ziegler. The brand sold safari clothing and decorated its stores with exotic, theatrical elements like fog and trees. The brand continued like this until 1983 when it was acquired by The Gap, Inc.
The brand soon shifted its product line from things like safari hats and travel-wear towards high-end fashion and accessories. The first fragrance was released in 1995, and this was soon followed by additional fragrances in sprays and candles. The brand was able to expand extensively throughout the years and has over 500 American stores.
