Lost Brands

[Kit Kat Chunky]

C & A still going strong in mainland Europe.

My missus used to buy her knickers from there  it was so she could work out which way to put them on.

C at the front, A at the back? 

Sometimes.......

Whatever happened to Benetton?
They were massive in the 80's / early 90s and then just seemed to vanish from the High Street.

Like a Michael Schumacher crash.

They also still own much of corporation street. It's was a dutch family company (might not be anymore) with very strong german ties.

Was just talking about that only yesterday. Used to be a bit of a go-to after Xmas/birthday when you had a wedge to get rid of. Wasn’t there a shop in the Palisades many a moon ago?

Big blousy jumpers with massive advertisements for themselves emblazoned, and really crass advertising campaigns had their moment I suspect. I’m sure they are happily still a premium brand but perhaps they’ve tried to shy away from their gaudy 80 and 90s brand of Christmas past? A bit like Burberry I think the popularity was destroying their brand.
