Sézane relaunch - did I miss it?

[HotAndHassled]

I thought Sézane was planning a major relaunch - rediscovering their mojo and upping their game. Did I miss something, nothing seems to have changed with today’s offering. Such a shame.

Yes, everyone is bitching about it online. Big price jump and apparently shit clothes

Oh I didn't know about this at all. But I'm on holiday so I'm a bit out of the loop anyway. I have to see this. Interesting to hear that everyone is up in arms about it.

I used to quite like BA&SH too but that went to pot a few years back. Or maybe it was me who changed?

I also didn’t think it looked any different. I didn’t notice the price hike though - probably haven’t paid enough attention to prices over the years. I’m going to pop in store tomorrow to see if I can get a look at it in person.

I used to love Sézane, it felt special, classy and something I saved for but knew I would love. I had to really justify the things I bought but I never regretted buying them and they are still in my wardrobe and making me happy years later.
Over the last few years I think they have become fast fashion, churning out collection after collection and, for me, they are no longer aspirational. I really hoped they were returning to their roots, seems I am wrong. Such a shame.

So I bought a few bits of their Summer collection which were brilliant (the Inoui collab particularly) but the relaunch made me recoil, if only from the prices. £170 for a jumper? No thanks.

£110 for a silk shirt is still pretty good value. But I aways think they are a bargain compared to some of their other pieces.

There are some of the old classics they do that I buy on repeat in various colours (Chlo shirts , Ciara trousers for example) that I think are reasonably priced. But agree that some of the other stuff is overpriced rubbish.

I do like some of the leather items.

You didn’t miss anything
I think the quality has declined

I used to buy a lot from Sézane but haven’t shopped there for a least a couple of years. Mainly because I felt that I already had enough ‘Sézane style’ stuff in my wardrobe.

Just had a quick look and can’t say that I’ve noticed much difference in prices. It looks like a few bits have sold out so someone must still be liking it!

Maybe this is why the quality has declined. They are charging the same sorts of prices as 5 years ago, but presumably costs must have increased.

Another thing that bugs me is that they don’t have reviews - they really help with online shopping and as often as not they help to make a sale. I am always suspicious of companies that don’t have reviews.
