Janie and Jack is a children's clothing brand founded in 2002 in San Francisco, California.[1] Their current product range includes clothing for newborns up to 24 months old, as well as boys and girls up to age 18.[1] As of 2021, the brand currently operates 115 retail locations in the United States in addition to its online retail platform.[1]

In addition to its independent locations, Janie and Jack products were also available as a clothing line through Gymboree until the retail corporation filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in 2019.[2] Janie and Jack was acquired shortly thereafter by Gap Inc. for US$35 Million.[1] The remainder of the Gymboree brand was simultaneously acquired in March 2019 by American clothing retailer The Children's Place for US$76 Million.[1] As of March 2021, Janie and Jack was sold to strategic investment firm Go Global Retail.[1]

In February 2022, Janie and Jack debuted a collaboration with Kaavia James Union-Wade, the three-year-old daughter of retired NBA player Dwyane Wade and actress Gabrielle Union-Wade.[3] The 41-piece collection ranged from $10.50 to US$74
