Christopher & Banks, originally known as Brauns Fashions, is an American retail company. Originally headquartered in the Minneapolis suburb of Plymouth, Minnesota, the chain specializes in women's clothing for the age 40-60 demographic.
After filing for bankruptcy in January 2021 and closing all of its stores due to financial loss from the COVID-19 pandemic, it had its assets and intellectual property acquired by iMedia Brands, Inc. in early 2021.
On August 16, 2023, Christopher & Banks was included among its parent company's assets sold for $55 million to IV Media, a subsidiary of Innovation Ventures, LLC.
Christopher & Banks is currently operating with both online retail and seven brick-and-mortar locations as of September 30, 2024.
