Doris and Don Fisher opened the first Gap store in San Francisco in 1969.
Their goal was to creating a store experience that was easy for the customer and
offered a affordable bargain on a wide selection of fits and styles. They make quality products at a low retail, not cheap.
They sold jeans by Levi's and record albums at the first Gap store on Ocean
Avenue.
The Gap's women's accessory product line includes shoes, belts and handbags
In 1992 the Gap becomes the second-largest selling apparel brand in the world.
As of October 2006, Gap Inc. had approximately 150,000 employees and operated
3,005 Gap outlet stores worldwide in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France,
Japan, Ireland, Singapore, Malaysia and Mexico.
The current CEO of Gap is Paul Pressler, who
previously ran the Disney theme parks.
A great place to find all most free or discounted Gap clothing is online.
The name "The Gap" was derived from the growing differences between children and
adults or the generation gap.
Their Gap handbag line contain many diffentent styles including Gap satchel handbag, tote bag, coin purse, messenger handbag, hobo bag, shoulder handbag, beach bag, diaper bag and the Gap clutch handbag. Not free but a good bargain for the quality.
Gap began focusing on its own private label, and by 1991–1992.
A new Gap handbag is a affordable bargain purchase for most women. Also can be found on sale in outlets and online.
