Bananenrepublik

Banana box. Banana Republic is the latest retailer getting in on the lucrative apparel subscription box business. At the end of September and just in time for the profitable holiday season, the Gap-owned chain will launch its Style Passport service. For a monthly fee of $85, subscribers receive three women’s items with unlimited returns and exchanges. Customers can also purchase (press release) items they’d like to keep. Menswear will be added at a later date./HH
