The Claes Retail Group (CRG) has its roots in 1975, when founder Jean-Baptiste Claes lent his initials to the first branch of the Belgian fashion chain JBC. Since then the family holding company has grown into a leading player in the Belgian retail market, comprising the three Belgian fashion labels JBC, CKS and Mayerline. CRG is managed by Ann and Bart Claes, Jean’s children. The Belgian group offers high-quality, sustainable fashion to its customers and strongly believes in local anchoring and partnerships.
