# C&A

> <p><strong>Known for:</strong> low-priced everyday fashion from one of Europe's oldest clothing retailers, founded in 1841 by the Dutch Brenninkmeijer family. Basics, kidswear and denim at prices that match Shein, with stores in most European city centres.<br><strong>Available in:</strong> 20 European countries online</p>

Clemens and August Brenninkmeijer opened their first shop in Sneek, in the Netherlands, in 1841, and the family still owns the company. C&A has around 1,300 stores across Europe, run from Düsseldorf and Vilvoorde, and its online shop covers the same range: cheap T-shirts, jeans, underwear and children's clothes. It was an early mover on certified organic cotton and publishes its supplier list. Online orders can be returned to any store, which makes it one of the simplest sites on this list for exchanges.
