C&A is a fashion retail brand that is well-known worldwide for its suitability for a variety of occasions and bringing fashionable products to the whole family.

From a fabric store in the small town of Snick, the Netherlands to the well-known European clothing retail brand C&A, the brand has experienced 170 years of history. The Brenninkmeijer family, the owner of the brand, lived early in Mettingen, a small village in the Tecklenburg region in northwestern Germany. In 1671, the Brenninkmeijer family left the family farm in Mattingen and went to the Netherlands to develop the linen trade.

In 1841, the Clemens and August brothers of the Brenninkmeijer family opened a fabric store in Sneek, a small town in northern Netherlands, and officially founded the C&A brand. With their keen business acumen, the two brothers operated the store. It is very exciting and in the next few years, it opened branches in cities such as Lügordon, Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the Netherlands. With the increasing prosperity of business, the Brenninkmeijer family gradually expanded their careers to Germany.

In 1911, the two brothers opened a large C&A department store in Berlin, Germany, and since then they opened up another world. By the outbreak of World War II, C&A had 17 stores. After the war, C&A's successful experience in Belgium accelerated the pace of brand expansion to other European countries. In 1972, C&A opened a store in France and then opened in Switzerland, Luxembourg, Spain, Austria and other countries. Europe's complex cultural, religious and national backgrounds make the C&A brand full of mystery.

Today, C&A stores are spread all over the world. By the end of 2010, it had more than 1,700 stores in 20 countries, especially Europe, Latin America and China, with 36,000 employees, and is still accelerating its expansion.

C&A's brand concept is closely related to fashion and has diverse styles and has been favored by many young fashion people. Each of its unique and charming innovative brands covers almost all aspects of the fashion field and is carefully crafted for the life philosophy of different people. From women's clothing to men's clothing, from underwear to accessories, and even baby clothing, all collections are constantly updated to meet the ever-changing personal life needs.
