GAP vintage costume jewelry
Doris and Donald Fisher GAP vintage costume jewelry
The history of Gap Inc. started in 1969 when Americans Doris Fisher (b. 1931) and Donald Fisher (1928-2009) opened their own store on Ocean Avenue in San Francisco, California. Initially, they sold music discs and Levi’s products in stores. And they had a simple idea: to facilitate the search for a pair of jeans. However, in 1969, they revolutionized retail with no retail experience. Over time, the company expanded to a large network. In particular, they turned their company into a major global brand with over 3,200 stores.
Noteworthy, in 1974 they launched clothing and accessories line under their own brand – Gap. In 1976, Gap became public and, accordingly, added “Inc.” (incorporated) to its name. In 1977, they created the Gap Foundation.
