The freshly released infant line ‘BR Baby’ from the Gap-owned fashion label Banana Republic will soon be available in Canada. The collection, comprising over 40 designs, was influenced by classic adult items, such as a bodysuit modeled after a women's best-selling tank top and other elements like giant pockets and buttons. Playful animal patterns, striking stripes, and decorated plumes are other design elements found across the series of sleep, bodysuits, accessories, knit tops, sets, and more.
"BR continues to expand its presence as a cultural innovator, establishing itself as a lifestyle brand through the filters of inclusivity, sustainability, and relevancy," the company said in a news statement.
Now available in select retailers in sizes 0 to 24 months and online in sizes up to 5 toddlers, the ‘BR Baby’ collection ranges in price from $25 to $320.
