RewriteRule/RewriteCond String Matching

I'm currently using a RewriteRule to redirect a subfolder called /shop/ to root of new site which works perfectly.

RewriteRule ^shop/?(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]

I now want to include a condition above that can match a path like below

old site - www.domain.com/shop/brand-name

and rewrite it to:

new site - www.domain.com/brands/brand-name

where it matches on the brand-name part and performs a 301 redirect. Can mod_rewrite do this? It's important it matches on the brand-name effectively swapping /shop/ for /brands/ but not effecting the RewriteRule I have above because that works perfectly for everything else. Thanks in advance...

Maybe I got you wrong but this should work:

RewriteRule ^shop/brand-name$ /brands/brand-name [L,NC,R=301]
RewriteRule ^shop/?(.*)$ /$1 [L,NC,R=301]

The trick is that you add the new rule before your existing rule. Together with the L option you avoid that your other rules are executed.

If you have multiple bands (what I expect) than you can list them this way:

RewriteRule ^shop/(brand-name|other-brand|third-brand)$ /brands/$1 [L,NC,R=301]
