Gap has a good brand in Europe and Banana Republic now has a flagship store on Regent's Street in London (about 5 doors up from a big Gap). I haven't picked up the vibe on BR to see if people rate it or not yet. I was underwhelmed as it seemed like a poor Gant clone.
However, the real reason for this blog is that neither brand has a website worth speaking of. That is unbelievable given the advanced state of the ecommerce offerings from both brands in the US. What are they thinking?

Everybody admires the way Abercrombie launched in the UK, so why haven't Banana Republic followed suit?
