Banana Republic Unveils Globally Curated Home Collection With BR Home

Banana Republic invented retail storytelling. Founded in 1978 by Mel and Patricia Ziegler, Banana Republic was originally called "Banana Republic Travel & Safari Clothing Company". The Zieglers, one a travel journalist and the other a sketch artist, founded their company with a commitment to use craftsmen from small factories all over the world and to promote their traditional techniques and workmanship. I remember as a teenager in the eighties, feeling as if I was preparing to go on a worldly adventure as I thumbed through their hand-drawn catalogs where each piece had a description of where it was made, the uniqueness of the fabric, and the bespoke qualities that made it so special. Their over-the-top travel-themed retail stores made “adventure shopping” fashionable. With movies like Out of Africa, Romancing the Stone, and Raiders of the Lost Ark popular at the time, everyone wanted to get the travel-inspired linen and leather look and Banana Republic was their one-stop shop.
With a vintage safari jeep at the entrance, and palm trees sprinkled throughout, I couldn’t wait to shop for my Australian schoolbag and my rolled-up khaki safari shorts with matching linen shirt. Unfortunately, at the time, the only adventure I was going on was down the street and through the high school hallways of 9th grade. Banana Republic made travel fashionable and now they are doing it again through their BR Home collection.
Banana Republic has evolved over the past thirty-plus years, but perhaps most notable is its remarkable transformation over the past two years. Once hailed as the go-to brand for travel-centric workwear, it has gracefully shifted gears, reinventing itself as a haven for quality fashion staples. Walk into a Banana Republic store today, and you'll find a curated selection of sumptuous cashmere sweaters, elegant silk pieces, and tailored suits that ooze luxury.
But that’s not all. Beyond the monochromatic looks and mesmerizing displays of carefully curated accessories from around the globe (like the jaw-dropping Caralarga Collection from Mexico), Banana Republic is embarking on an exciting new adventure. This journey transcends the boundaries of fashion and steps right into the heart of the home.
Banana Republic has always had a knack for infusing a touch of wanderlust into your wardrobe. Whether it's linen shirts that transport you to the Mediterranean or leather accessories that evoke the bustling streets of Marrakech, they've mastered the art of globetrotter chic. And with BR Home, they're taking that same spirit and infusing it into the home.
Designed with the modern urban dweller in mind, those who value sophistication and quality in every aspect of life, the collection introduces three key
