Economic History | Uk | This movement led to the dramatic decision of Dutch owned group C&A, formerly one of the top clothing retailers in the UK, to quit the UK entirely in 2000. There has been an international trend toward buying clothing and footwear brands with sports or designer labels, and this has also undermined retailers such as Marks and Spencer and C&A, which rely on the profit margins produced by selling only their own label.
