Old Navy Maternity
A division of Gap, Inc., Old Navy was first launched in 1994. Since Gap stores had generally been established as more of an upscale brand, the company was looking to come up with a more affordable option. Originally called Gap Warehouse stores, the name was changed to Old Navy to differentiate between the two brands. Once the first store was opened in Colma, California, Old Navy started to expand at a very rapid pace. Within a year, there were already 59 locations across the country, and by 1997 Old Navy had already made more than $1 billion.
Old Navy has been rebranded several times in its relatively brief existence, and the latest makeover firmly established the store as a family-oriented retailer. Today, the chain operates more than 1,000 stores around the world--including locations across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Japan. Old Navy is one of the largest discount apparel brands on Earth and is constantly diversifying to appeal to an even wider range of consumers. The Old Navy Maternity collection, in particular, offers affordable, chic options for moms-to-be.

Swap.com's Rating of Old Navy Maternity
The success of Old Navy has been so monumental since its introduction 20 years ago that it almost overshadows its parent company. The Old Navy brand has become synonymous with quality clothing at an affordable price, and the company has been making strides to diversify its product line so that almost everyone is included. Old Navy Maternity is a prime example of how devoted the brand is to becoming a one-stop shop for its customers, because expectant moms can find almost anything they might need for pregnancy (and beyond). While these garments aren't going to be quite as comfortable or durable as more upscale Gap brands, they come very close. We give Old Navy Maternity 4.5 out of 5 stars.
