Gap and A.P.C. Launch 37‑Piece Capsule Available Friday, Sept. 18

The Paris label’s minimalist cuts and premium fabrics are being translated into lower price points through joint sourcing, extensive fittings, cinematic marketing and Gap’s broad retail reach.

Overview

  • Gap and A.P.C. officially announced a 37‑piece collaboration that will go on sale Friday, Sept. 18 across gap.com, select Gap stores in the United States and Canada, and A.P.C.’s Mercer Street boutique in New York City.
  • The capsule centers on timeless wardrobe staples such as striped Breton tees, rigid denim jackets and jeans, mini skirts, cargo (battle) jackets and dedicated menswear fits.
  • Price points span roughly $8 to $328 with many core items under $200, and several key pieces use higher‑end materials like Japanese denim and 100% wool while remaining budget‑friendly.
  • The partnership grew from a long personal relationship between A.P.C.’s Jean and Judith Touitou and Gap creative leader Zac Posen, and teams say in‑depth fabric research and repeated fittings were used to preserve A.P.C.‑level construction.
  • The launch is supported by a five‑minute short film titled 'The Long Way' shot in Montmartre, early access activations for Gap loyalty members, and a global retail roll‑out that aims to make A.P.C.’s pared‑back aesthetic more widely available.
