Martin + Osa (Martin & Osa) was a brand of clothing and stores developed by American Eagle Outfitters. The store's name and inspiration came from Martin and Osa Johnson, a husband and wife team from southeast Kansas who explored Africa and the South Pacific Islands, chronicling their travels in photographs and diaries.[1]
Martin + Osa targeted 25 to 40-year-old customers and offered classic and contemporary clothing, with an emphasis on denim.[1]
The first retail store opened at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia, on September 6, 2006. Stores were designed by Michael Neumann Architecture (MNA) in New York City.[2] ranging in size from 6,500 to 7500 sqft.
On March 10, 2010, American Eagle Outfitters announced it would close down its 28 Martin + Osa stores and online store.[3]
