On Friday, Gap unveiled its debut GapBag collection to reimagine the icons that have defined the brand for decades by drawing on Gap’s most recognizable silhouettes, fabrics and details, from five-pocket denim to the classic Arch Logo hoodie, creating a distinct assortment that offers a natural extension to the essential Gap wardrobe.
The Fall 2026 GapBag Collection is the first to launch under the direction of Gap Inc.’s Executive Director of Accessories, Reed Krakoff. Krakoff, a three-time recipient of the CFDA Accessories Designer of the Year award, drew inspiration from the Gap archives, pairing his category-defining design expertise with recognizable references to the brand’s most loved essentials.
“Gap has been part of my life, as it has for so many people around the world, for as long as I can remember,” said Reed Krakoff. “For more than five decades, Gap’s design language has shaped the way the world dresses. The GapBag Collection draws on that legacy: iconic American style, simple, never plain, built on the idea that form follows function and that luxury is the coming together of style, utility and design…. It is made for everyone, every day, every occasion.”
The GapBag collection will feature five silhouettes: the Five-Pocket Tote, the Hoodie Tote, the Favorite Tote, the Crescent Bag, and the Shoulder Bag. Brand signatures—broken-in denim washes, jean-stitch detailing, and the iconic Gap arch hoodie logo—are evident throughout. The collection will also offer a range of small accessories to complement the bag assortment, including charms, keychains, scarves, and belts, allowing customers to express their unique style through personalization.
“Gap has always stood for classic essentials that inspire individuality and self-expression,” said Mark Breitbard, President and CEO, Gap Brand. “With the new GapBag collection, we’re bringing that heritage into accessories through elevated design, great quality and accessible value. Built around iconic Gap styles, the collection extends our brand into new categories while offering customers fresh ways to engage with Gap.”
The GapBag Collection marks a significant step in Gap’s strategic expansion into accessories, intentionally building on the strength of its core apparel business at a moment when consumers are seeking elevated design at accessible prices. With retail prices ranging from $29.95 to $148 in the core assortment, the pieces deliver the craftsmanship of luxury accessories while introducing a fresh interpretation of Gap’s classic American heritage, remaining unmistakably rooted in the brand’s DNA.
The complete GapBag Fall 2026 collection will be available on Sept. 8 at gap.com, and a selection of styles will be available in all North American Gap stores, as well as internationally.
