Gap has always been an authority of modern optimistic American style, and champions individuality.
Launched over 50 years ago in San Francisco, we’ve built our brand on staying true to our roots, while always being out in front of what’s next. Our clothing is rich in heritage and crafted with care. Our essentials are iconic, and quality endures. We celebrate logo, as well as denim and khakis, which are today both responsibly made using Washwell, Gap’s global water-saving programme. 100s of our products are also produced with recycled materials or from 100% organically grown cotton.
