The Christopher & Banks brand dates back to 1956 when Gil Braun opened the first Braun’s Fashions in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He opened it with “her” in mind: local women who were full of life and wisdom, confident in their beliefs, and in search of styles that made them feel fabulous at a price they would love. That spirit continued when Braun’s Fashions opened its first stores under the Christopher & Banks banner in 2000. The same year, the company introduced CJ Banks, opening 20 stores designed to meet the need for sizes 14-24 in the underserved women’s apparel market.

Today, Christopher & Banks still focuses on putting “her” first, providing our customers with style, value, and service that help them look fabulous and feel amazing, every day and for life’s special moments. Missy, women’s, and petite sizes are available for our customers’ convenience.
