C&A Underwear

C&A is a major international retail chain of clothing stores with its roots in the Netherlands. Founded in 1841 by the brothers Clemens and August Brenninkmeijer, it has grown from a humble textile warehouse into a global fashion powerhouse. The company is particularly well-known for offering affordable fashion for the whole family across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

While the brand originated in the Netherlands and maintains its European headquarters in Brussels and Düsseldorf, production is outsourced to a vast network of suppliers globally. Manufacturing primarily takes place in countries with significant textile industries such as Bangladesh, China, Turkey, and India, to maintain cost-efficiency while meeting global demand. The brand remains under the private ownership of the Brenninkmeijer family through their Swiss-based holding company, COFRA Holding AG.
