Brand historyC& A
In the small German town of Mettingen, near the Dutch border, in 1671 the Clemens and Augusta family left the family farm to prosper in northern Holland. At the age of 20 and with the financial support of their father, two brothers Clemens and August founded their own linen and cotton company in Sneek, the Netherlands, in 1841 - C&A Brenninkmeijer. They lived above a warehouse and distributed their quality goods from farm to farm. Over time, the two young men built a reputation as reliable salesmen. Finally, in 1860, they opened their first store. This is the beginning of C&A as we know it today.
The invention of the sewing machine finally ushered in a new era of ready-made clothing. C&A offered clothing in a variety of standard sizes almost immediately, and the concept proved to be very popular with customers.
The conquest of Europe continued with the opening of stores in other cities, in Germany in 1911, in Great Britain in 1922. The Second World War temporarily interrupted the development of the brand, until 1963, when the chain entered Belgium.
Now, C&A can rightfully be considered one of the most experienced and influential retail chains, and the brand itself is a trendsetter in the international fashion industry. Basically, the network is represented in Europe, the main competitors are Zara, Mango. Clothing production is located in Germany, and the brand itself is represented by the following brands: Canda, Baby Club, Clockhouse, Angelo Litrico and Palomino Here&There and others.

An idea that has won recognition.
Today, C&A stores in most parts of Europe are an integral part of the city's appearance. About two million people visit our branches every day. But many of them do not know what story is hidden behind these two letters. And it began back in the 17th century, when the ancestors of the company’s founders, Clemens & August Brenninkmeyer, the initial letters of whose names have been preserved in the company logo to this day, traded textile goods throughout Europe. Two hundred years later, both brothers, continuing a long family tradition, were engaged in the sale of fabrics mainly in the German-Dutch territories. It was they who founded the company "C&A Brenninkmeijer" in 1841 in the Friesland town of Sneek. There, twenty years later, the brothers opened the first C&A branch. The beginning of a success story that continues to this day.
