Apparel Companies C

Welcome to the C section of the Apparel Search Fashion Company Names directory. The C letter is one of the directory's largest, so it is presented in two parts: this hub and its chip grid cover the first 28 profiles, from Caleres through the Collective Brands family and Stride Rite. The letter's remaining C filings - Columbia Sportswear, Converse, Cotton Made in Africa, Crocs, the consumer testing laboratories and the jacquard machinery maker - follow in the second part, and links to them are included below, so the letter's full list stays reachable from here.

The range inside this first part is the point of a names directory. Footwear dominates: Caleres and its Brown Shoe ancestry, Clarks from 1825, Cole Haan, and the four Collective Brands filings. Workwear and uniforms stand beside them - Carhartt, Cintas and Capital Mercury. Women's specialty retail runs from Catherines and Charming Shoppes through Chico's FAS to Coldwater Creek, and Los Angeles contributes an institution cluster of its own: the California Fashion Association, the California Market Center and its VIEW tradeshow. Luxury arrives at group scale in Capri Holdings and at craft scale in Coach and Canada Goose.

How the C Letter Is Organised

Use the chip grid below as this part's table of contents: one chip per profile, exactly once, in alphabetical order by company name. Three filing decisions deserve a word of guidance. The two California Market Center pages are companions, not duplicates - the building's profile, and the separate record of its VIEW gift and home tradeshow of January 2013. The four Collective Brands pages are a family: the parent group, its licensing unit, Payless ShoeSource and Stride Rite, each leading with its own unit's record. And two names in this part are continuations of stories filed elsewhere - Caleres is the renamed Brown Shoe Company (B letter), and Casual Male Retail Group is the former name of Destination XL (D letter); both cross-references appear in the profiles themselves.

The alphabet bar under the hero links to the other 25 letters and the numbers index. This section of Apparel Search does not include all of the apparel companies; it is a select selection that grows periodically, and suggestions are welcome through the Add Your Company route in the footer.

Reading the Profiles

Dated statements stay attached to their dates, and closed, acquired or renamed businesses stay as historical profiles - Charlotte Russe at its 2008 peak, Charming Shoppes under its 2012 Ascena announcement, Coldwater Creek through its 2014 filing and relaunch, Collective Brands through its 2012 division, Payless through its February 2019 closure decision, and Capri Holdings under its August 2023 Tapestry announcement, which this directory reports as announced. Each profile includes a gallery of photographs.

If you know of an important fashion company beginning with C that is not listed in this section, you are welcome to make suggestions. Thank you for reviewing the Apparel Search guide to fashion by name - and if you prefer to browse by what companies make or sell rather than by name, the Clothes Guide and the shopping directory linked from this page organise the same industry by garment, audience and category instead.
