C&A

While you can find great fashion for a good price 365 days a year at C&A, you can OF COURSE expect some special deals with us with up to 40 % off selected items.

🌟 Exciting news on C&A’s store concept🌟 With the ongoing modernization of the C&A stores, we keep improving and piloting innovative solutions to combine inspiration, functionality and state-of-the-art technology in our stores. We are staying true to the focus on inspiration in our stores… …with a modern and welcoming atmosphere, lounge areas, a generously designed sales area, and a clear product layout. The new and modernized stores we opened in November - in Sarni Stok Mall in Bielsko-Biała (Poland) - are perfect examples. At the same time, we are testing new approaches to further improve the customer experience: For instance, in the new flagship store in the heart of Munich in Neuhauser Straße (Germany). Customers can now find here a new setup for self-service checkout and service desks. We significantly increased the number of self-service checkouts aiming to make the payment process as efficient as possible. The checkouts are also equipped with RFID technology so that payment is smooth and fast. Further service counters simplify the processes for exchange, Click & Collect and cash payments. Let’s celebrate the teams that keep improving and optimizing our stores and that create the best shopping experience every single day! 👏👏👏 #LookGood #FeelGood #DoGood 

Are you getting ready for the festive season? Whether you are jumping on the trend for early gift shopping or waiting to get in the festive mood first, the special bond and #togetherness of the season are awaiting us. As the festive season looks different for everyone, we put together a collection with affordable styles for all those special moments in the everyday – those moments that really matter: “Our festive collection is all about togetherness and celebrating love. We have sparkly festive pieces -like sequin dresses, velvet suits and embellished tops - but also more relaxed options for any occasion. Looking at the color palette, you find traditional colors like red and gold as well as trending colors like electric blue. So, you have many options! We want to be sure that our pieces can be worn not only during the holidays but also on many occasions and for many seasons,” explains Reinhard Reinhard Brodel, Concept & Innovation Lead at C&A. If you want to get in a festive mood with us, come see our teams in store to celebrate the joy, warmth and #togetherness of the season! #LookGood #FeelGood #DoGood

The festive season is slowly approaching, and this marks the beginning of gift shopping for many consumers across Europe. While in Germany many consumers say that they start looking for presents in December, in Italy the festive shopping already begins in November. And the French consumers? They state that they started as early as October to find gifts for their loved ones. However, different surveys show varying results. So we decided to also ask you, our community. What is your perfect timing? 👇 #LookGood #FeelGood #DoGood

Who is your everyday role model? 🚀 We posed that question in the beginning of 2024 as part of C&A’s #InternationalWomensDay campaign. Throughout the year we spread the spark of inspiration through posts, interviews and influencer cooperations to celebrate women’s achievements. And we decided to be one of the sponsors of the #SupportHer Award by Cosmopolitan magazine In Germany… …to help increase visibility for women who bring amazing ideas to life, who put their energy into good causes, and who really make a difference for our society. “The nominees inspire us to grow and to become our best selves. And that’s also the purpose we live up to as a company: We want to inspire our co-workers, partners, and costumers to look, feel and do good. That takes courage, entrepreneurial spirit and a commitment to be a force for good– elements that are deeply rooted in C&As DNA and that we support everyday”, explains Betty Kieß, Chief Communications Officer. Anna Kova, a content creator working with C&A, also joined the event. She celebrates body positivity and self-love on her accounts and is the perfect match for C&A and the award. Together with Anna and the German Cosmopolitan team we invited all award nominees to a styling workshop at C&A empowering fashionable looks for the everyday. Oh, how we love togetherness! ❤️ Congratulations to all the nominees and winners of the award! #InclusiveCandA #StrongerTogether 

The mini – it’s not just a skirt ❗ It was a revolution of fashion in the 20th century. Soon after it first hit the runways of haute couture designers in Paris, C&A made the new piece available for the many. Because it wasn’t just a piece of clothing, it was a statement: We need to see the new mini skirt in the context of the 1960ies - technical innovation, new icons in the pop- und music culture, the first landing on the moon, the contraceptive pill, the invention of tights, young people visibly differentiating from their parents' generation. The protest movements gave a rise to a self-confident consumer group of young adults who wanted to express their attitude in their style. In that context the skirt was a reflection of a new attitude which caused high controversaries between generations. When C&A introduced the mini skirt in 1965, the advertisements specifically targeted young women for the first time and inspired them to test the “courage look”. Later C&A collaborated with “Twiggy” - the popular model and icon was known to love miniskirts and minidresses.❣️ In more than 180 years of history, C&As advertisements and designs reflected the zeitgeist and aimed to make new designs available for the entire family with products for every day that are high quality and have a good price. This is still true today! 💡 Did you know? The dress code stipulated that a skirt should not be visible under a coat. Thus, with the introduction of the mini skirt also the length of the coat changed. #LookGood #FeelGood #DoGood

🎗️ It’s all about togetherness: At the exclusive styling workshops in C&A stores all over Europe women affected by breast cancer get to shop in an intimate atmosphere while professional stylists and makeup artists, who have worked with breast cancer patients before, help everyone look and feel good. With all the events we aim to specifically honor women living with or after breast cancer. Therefore, we loved collaborating with organizations and experts to give meaningful insights and spark conversations – for instance with the NGO Bellis and Amazonky, Dutch Breast Cancer Society and special guests like stylist Lien Degol and TV presenter Linda Hakeboom, who produced a documentary about her own journey with breast cancer. In Czech Republic and Slovakia the women even had the opportunity to hit the runway to present C&A’s autumn fashion collection. 🎗️ Fostering a stronger, more informed community. C&A has been committed to help raise awareness for breast cancer and to support and empower those on their journey. There are many more activations to support these goals across Europe: 🌷 To our Dutch speaking community: Tune into our podcast ‘Stronger Together’. Our host Evy Gruyaert speaks with survivors and experts, highlighting the importance of self-examination, sharing tips, and finding moments of hope after a breast cancer diagnosis: https://lnkd.in/eSR9HkCC 🌷 The empowerment brunch in Austria took place to connect, enjoy great conversations and spread the word together with the NGO Pink Ribbon, Austrian Cancer Aid charity, the magazine LOOK!, influencers – including a special surprise fashion make over for the women with breast cancer. 🌷 To educate & amplify the voices of people facing breast cancer, we partnered with two women who both share their ongoing journeys, discuss the misconceptions attached to breast cancer, reflect on how they keep a positive mind and highlight the importance of self-examination. 🌷 Through social media and further media partnerships – for instance with Vrouw magazine and IO Donna magazine – we keep spreading the word to help raise awareness. #PinkMonth #BreastCancerAwareness #Look Good #FeelGood #DoGood
