C&A

Last week we reflected upon how children’s fashion is about much more than clothing. As children grow, what they wear becomes part of how they explore the world, express who they are, and feel comfortable in every moment. At C&A, we believe kidswear should bring together self-expression, practicality, and the freedom to simply be a child. That also means balancing different needs: children want clothes that feel like them, while parents look for quality, comfort, durability, and value.   With every collection, our goal is to connect these priorities and create kidswear that supports everyday adventures, big and small.   👇 Let us know below: What matters most when choosing clothes for children?   #CandA #Kidswear #ChildhoodFirst #Summer #Design

Summer is a time for adventure, curiosity, and creating memories that last long after the holidays are over.   At C&A, we believe the clothes children wear should support those moments. As our Head of Kids Design Pauline Ainslie says: “Good childrenswear protects childhood: it gives children the freedom to play, grow, and express themselves at their own pace, without asking them to grow up too soon.”   That’s why our kidswear is designed with comfort, freedom of movement, and durability in mind, helping children play, explore, and express their personality, while giving parents quality and practicality they can trust.   As the summer break begins, we encourage parents to make the most of every adventure, big or small, and give children the freedom to simply be children.   #CandA #Kidswear #ChildhoodFirst #Summer #Design

Today, we’re continuing our C&A Experts series, highlighting colleagues whose passion and expertise bring our brand to life every day. Meet Ewelina, Visual Merchandiser and one of the creative minds shaping how our customers experience fashion in our stores. With a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of our brand identity, she transforms products into inspiring stories — creating spaces that engage, excite, and make shopping effortless. 💬 “What I enjoy most about my job is the creative freedom, the challenges, the diverse tasks, and the great team atmosphere. I love exchanging ideas with colleagues, bringing actions to life together, and finding quick solutions,” she shares. Visual Merchandising plays a crucial role in guiding our customers through the store. For Ewelina, it’s all about striking the right balance: • Showcasing key pieces and highlights • Creating a clear focus instead of visual overload • Building an atmosphere that reflects the brand • Using colours harmoniously or intentionally with contrast • And of course: the perfect lighting 💬 “The first impression is created within seconds and it lasts. Good Visual Merchandising inspires outfits, shows styling variety, highlights statement looks that require minimal effort, and helps customers find products faster,” Ewelina explains. Her daily inspiration comes directly from the shop floor: 💬 “What inspires me most is watching how customers move through the store — where they stop, what they touch, what they ignore. A strong theme can turn products into an experience. And creating looks that match seasonal trends and customer needs is incredibly motivating.” A huge thank you to Ewelina and all our Visual Merchandising colleagues for creating inspiring spaces that make our fashion feel alive.💛 #CAExperts #LifeAtCA #Teamwork #BehindTheScenes

What role do recycled materials and recyclable garments play in fashion today?💡 Last week, we came together across teams to explore exactly that question during our Textile Recycling Week, a chance to step back, learn, and reflect on circularity today and on what the future of fashion needs to look like. Over four days, C&A colleagues from different departments had the opportunity to dive deeper into one of the most pressing challenges in our industry: how to move towards a more circular approach and make better use of the resources we already have. Throughout the week, innovators from Fashion for Good network shared their approaches and solutions first-hand, giving colleagues from our buying, design, and sourcing teams a chance to see and feel the materials up close. One key takeaway: textile recycling, despite growing momentum, is still far from being solved, with less than 1% of discarded textiles being recycled today. This made it clear just how much there is still to figure out as an industry, and how critical innovation, collaboration, and new ways of thinking will be to get there. Throughout the week, colleagues explored: ▪️ how recycled materials can reduce reliance on virgin resources without compromising quality ▪️ why some products are difficult to recycle today, and what it will take to change that ▪️ and how even small design decisions – a trim, a print, a fabric blend – can make or break a product's recyclability. Interactive sessions and hands-on formats by our Materials & Circularity Manager Shirin Araghi helped turn theory into practice, making complex topics more tangible and engaging. Shifting the focus beyond the technical details, our Head of Sustainability Sofia Skrypnyk hosted a session inviting colleagues to look beyond today, imagining different futures for the industry and the questions worth asking now. Most importantly, the week sparked curiosity, fresh perspectives, and a shared understanding: shaping a more circular future starts with the choices we make every day. 🌿 #TextileRecycling #RecycledMaterials #RecyclableProducts #CircularFashion

Say Yes to Summer! 🍦☀️ Over the past few weeks, we brought a little extra joy to customers across Europe with our Ice Cream Activation, celebrating the start of summer one scoop at a time. From Split and Zagreb to The Hague, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg, as well as selected locations in Spain, Portugal and France, we created small moments of surprise and delight in everyday settings — inviting people to pause, enjoy the moment and reconnect with C&A. But what truly brought this activation to life was our people. Our store teams turned these first interactions into warm welcomes, meaningful conversations and memorable customer experiences. A big thank you to everyone involved for making this happen on the ground — one smile, one conversation and, of course, one ice cream at a time. We hope we were able to make the start of summer just a little bit sweeter for our customers!
