Athleta looks independent, but it's a fully owned Gap Inc. banner, same parent as Old Navy and Banana Republic. Unlike its siblings, it's B Corp certified and pays a wage premium through Fair Trade Certified factories, real credentials most fast fashion skips.

View the family treeThe Big Picture
Athleta is a wholly owned Gap Inc. banner with no founder left to answer for it — the same structural story as Old Navy and Gap. But its conduct record breaks from its siblings: Fair Trade Certified factories with a disclosed worker premium fund, and a B Corp certification most fast fashion never pursues. Athleta answers to Gap Inc.'s shareholders, but its sourcing commitments are real ones its parent hasn't matched elsewhere in the portfolio.
