Banana Republic launches two new outlets in West Hollywood, introducing its inaugural homeware-focused store
Banana Republic has inaugurated a new store at 8585 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, occupying a 3,000-square-foot space previously held by All Saints. Designed with a raw concrete aesthetic, the store features a central lounge area adorned with suspended lights. Customers can view large black and white photographs of desert landscapes on the walls and enjoy beverages from a well-lit bar. The store offers a diverse selection of modern clothing essentials for both men and women, alongside shoes and accessories.

Directly opposite this location, Banana Republic will be opening its debut store exclusively for home collections in a 4,400-square-foot space, formerly occupied by Cartier’s “Clash Unlimited Exhibition” in 2021. Set to open its doors in September, the BR home collection features items like Moroccan rugs, Italian linens, bohemian-style cushions, and pillows crafted using Malian techniques. Embracing the themes of origins, textured modern, and classic chic, the collection focuses on heritage-inspired pieces crafted from high-quality materials and designed for contemporary living.
Sandra Stangl, president and CEO of Banana Republic, emphasized the company’s perspective on home collections as a reflection of individual style. “We integrated BR’s distinctive design aspects to produce enduring pieces that resonate over time,” Stangl commented. The collection offers items ranging from bouclé throws to striped cotton sheets, presenting a unique blend of personal touch and restraint. Price points vary between $40 and $7,550.

Detailing the design journey, Stangl shared that it involved extensive travel and interactions with artisans globally, focusing on genuine craftsmanship and the celebration of natural materials. Moreover, Stangl confirmed that home products will continue to feature in the brand’s upcoming seasonal collections.
With these new additions, Banana Republic now operates nine outlets in Los Angeles.
