Gap Inc., was started by Donald Fisher and his wife Doris Fisher in 1969 in San Francisco (USA). Fisher was fascinated by the idea of selling apparel in chain stores to attract the young generation of consumers who were looking to buy cheap, comfortable and durable attire like jeans. The USP of Gap was that they had limited products but catered to all sizes, shapes and colours. In India, Gap was introduced by Arvind Lifestyle Brands through a franchise agreement and the first store opened in Delhi in May 2015. Gap currently has 11 stores across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, Chennai and Indore and retails through the brand’s official Omnichannel www.gap.nnnow.com and exclusively through amazon.in/gap.
Latest Jackets Collection
The Fall 2017 collection for men is focused on the performance collection which fuses style and fit of every day favourites with performance technology, like puffer jackets. Apart from the performance collection, the rugged motor-cross range introduces indestructible denim. This is one tough jacket that can take a beating. At 100 per cent tear resistance, and 400 per cent stronger than regular denim, this product is up for any challenge, but is comfortable enough for everyday adventures.
Most Popular Jacket
The classic denim jacket is something that has remained a favourite through generations. A bomber jacket is also currently one of the most preferred in this segment.
Top Fabrics
The brand’s top fabrics are cotton and tencel.
India Specific Collections
Gap has created an exclusive line of products for the India market, which are unique to this market. It piloted some of these products with great success in Fall 2017 and customers can expect more products with exclusive designs in Spring 2018 and Summer 2018.
Demand of Denims
According to Gap, the demand for denim has only grown within the Indian market. This is driven by the global sentiment of denim being an acceptable piece of clothing in offices, or desk to dinner dressing. One can always dress up or dress down their style with denim. The brand has also seen the denim market explode across the kids and baby division where parents are increasingly comfortable with putting their children into jeans, thanks to the product innovations. Gap’s ‘Super Denim’, which is extra soft, with stretchy waist bands, is one such example of product that does well for them.
Retail Network and Reach
Gap is being retailed through its own stores and online businesses. The brand is looking at expanding to Tier-II markets through a series of stores, and shop-in-shop formats in the next few years. Even before it launched the Omnichannel site, it had customers across the country writing in and asking them about the online deliveries. It had a latent, untapped demand for Gap in the online shopping segment which it was able to meet through its Omnichannel site which services approximately 19,000 post codes across the country, and through its exclusive partnership with Amazon. Gap’s online business has been very successful, owing in a huge part to the existing demand for a brand as iconic as Gap.
Untapped Markets in India
The appetite for the branded market is no longer relegated to a singular market. With the growing comfort customers have with shopping online, Gap’s focus is more on reaching to their customers wherever they might be, for example if a customer is in Coimbatore, or Vizag, or Cherrapunji, their omnichannel store helps them meet that customer rather than being focused on the potential of one geography.
