Perfectly small

Take your summer bag

Also, if you buy any garment from the new swimwear collection –such as the super bikinis that you have in the gallery, for example– in the C&A stores that are part of the promotion and show this image from your mobile phone at the checkout, you will take the bag from the summer.

Our fashion expert, Raquel Pérez, offered a workshop at the C&A store on C / Pelayo in Barcelona where, in addition to advising and answering all kinds of questions, she gave us the keys to choose the bikini or swimsuit that best suits us.
