Banana Republic Catalog Cover Gallery
The catalogs are filled with great imagery and writing, but there’s no doubt that the covers are the real stars. They have such variety and interest, with striking colors, superb illustration and whimsical compositions. It was always a delight to find one waiting in the mailbox.
Here we get a rare look at the earliest catalogs dating back to 1979. The catalog was duo-tone, two colors, for the first few years, with the arrival of more expensive color printing in 1984. Many of these early catalogs are not numbered, so they are put in order of season.
