BR Vintage: Abandoned Campsite

September 26, 2021

Banana Republic has announced the second launch of BR Vintage, a revival of classic pieces archiving back to the 70s. The iconic brand — originally called Banana Republic Travel & Safari Clothing Company — returns to its roots with a nostalgic selection of vintage gear fit for the modern adventurer.

Following a successful sold-out first launch, BR Vintage’s second instalment encompasses the theme of Abandoned Campsite. From hunting vests and tactical gear to strong denims and perfectly aged leather, the collection drew inspiration from fantastical journeys — think "The Mummy" or "Jurassic Park." While you might not be voyaging through the deserts of Egypt or fleeing from dinosaurs in the jungle, these timeless pieces will surely wake up that inner explorer.
