C&C California

Designer Biography

C&C California embodies the classic 1970s "California Chic" look, a collection that is easy and wearable, certain to exude a laid back appeal. The line offers effortlessly cool pieces that can be worn from shopping to cocktail hour.

C&C California was created by two girls who grew up on the beaches of Southern California during the 1970’s. Their mutual love for the styles, colors, and comfort of that decade continued to evoke and inspire them. Their personal style idols from that era have remained a constant as well. In addition to Ali, think Steve McQueen, Raquel Welch, Peter Fonda, and Natalie Wood… beach or pool side, lounging… all looking undeniably cool, satisfied, and inherently carefree.
