C&A is one of Europe's leading fashion retailers, making stylish, high quality clothing accessible to everyone. Every day we strive to inspire you to look good, feel good and do good. In 1671, Clemens and August's ancestors, originally from the small German village of Mettingen near the Dutch border, left the family farm and set out to sell their wares as itinerant linen merchants.
And it was in Mettingen that, around 1830, Clemens and August learned the business as young boys.

For generations, the family business C&A has been a pioneer in offering more sustainable and fashionable clothing. In particular, we do this by discovering and meeting the real needs of each customer, and by developing more sustainable business practices.
Tradition needs constant renewal.

Today C&A focuses its passion for knowledge and results on planting the seeds of tomorrow in a careful and creative way.
By putting people and planet first, we are leading the way to the future in the fashion industry.
