C&A apparel/clothing

C&A is a major international fast-fashion retailer with a long history in Europe. The brand was originally founded in 1841 by brothers Clemens and August Brenninkmeijer in the Netherlands, starting as a textile warehouse. Over the decades, it evolved into one of the most recognizable high-street fashion brands across the continent.

While the brand has its roots in the Netherlands and Germany, manufacturing is distributed globally. Most of their garments are produced in major textile hubs such as China, Bangladesh, India, and Turkey to maintain competitive pricing. The brand is currently owned by Cofra Holding AG, which is the private investment vehicle of the Brenninkmeijer family, maintaining a legacy of family ownership for over 180 years.
