C&A on Radio 4

I didn't hear all the programme, but what I heard was interesting. You got to hear about what it was like to work there for many years.

The fashion chain C&A continues to thrive elsewhere, so why did it shut all its UK stores?

I wasn't sure whether this would be better in the Shops thread.

Thanks, the programme is on BBC Sounds if you have the App. I didn't reckon much to the young mens clothes, but a few years later the lighting department was more stylish than Habitat and a fraction of the price.

I don't really remember the men's clothes. There was a range for women called Yessica (the name sticks in my mind), but I don't know what was special about it!

What was interesting in the programme as well is that C&A thrives in other European countries. The mistake seemingly was to have centralised buying, so one style of clothing was sold in all shops. Britain said to be fashion forward. C&A is unusual as it continues to be a family run private company.
