I spent $3000 at SEZANE to see if it was worth the hype

[@sophiarosep9]

Great video Jamie! The thing that keeps me away from Sezane, particularly their sweaters, is their composition. If I’m shelling out that much for a sweater, there is no reason that it should have any plastic in it 🤷‍♀️

[@isabelladumitrescu2543]

Seriously! It’s so weird

[@xrubyxlightx]

I've heard multiple times it's for structural reasons and to cut costs (Silk can be used but that would make the products more expensive)

[@clandestinecoherence]

exactly

[@LorBeer-eq5yf]

Oh please, there are umpteen expensive brands that sell pure acrylic sweaters. What do you expect? A sweater made of pure wool, of good quality would or should cost twice as much.

[@gingerhalo123]

They say it’s so the sweater has more structure but idk how true that is. I have a few sezane sweaters and love them

[@misslinguinni]

Thank you for choosing to upload this even though you weren’t thrilled with the audio. It might sound silly, but you should be proud of yourself for not allowing your perfectionist tendencies to hold you back from sharing a great video!✨

I would never pay this sort of money for sweaters with 30% polyamide.

[@bdidimful]

Actually polyamide is great for a wool blend, it makes it better, not worse :)

[@bleujeen]

@@LorBeer-eq5yfwhy “ oh please? “ Sezane is charging a hefty sum for synthetic blend sweaters. Banana Republic ( which is not a luxury brand) is selling pure merino and pure cashmere for similar prices. Same with Quince.

[@LorBeer-eq5yf]

Some of the clothing in the alternatives you mentioned is also made of synthetic fibers, and the cuts are (in my opinion) rather unfashionable and very simple. Sézane also has sweaters, cardigans and coats made of 100% (merino) wool at a good price. Everyone can decide for themselves what they want to spend their money on. It's funny to condemn Sézane for using synthetic fibers. Demand will regulate it. I wouldn't buy anything made of polyester or acrylic because it offers no advantages. With polyamide, the sweater pills less and looks good for longer. I also like wearing knitwear from arket. They also have good prices for decent quality and the cuts are more fashionable.

[@enjoythesilence7365]

Their sweaters are made of RWS certified wool which explains higher price.

[@mariac6759]

Do not mean to sound snobbish but I will never buy knitwear if it is almost 40% polyamide even at bargain prices. At that price you can get a luxury high-quality 100% cashmere sweater specially during Black Friday and end of season sales after Christmas. Having said that, the sweaters you are keeping look great on you.

[@danalichvar3460]

Sezane used to be so good. Very high quality. They also only had so many styles for sale, now you can scroll forever which feels fast fashion to me. Unfortunately they got popular and things have changed :( I still buy from them occasionally but pay attention to what the piece is made of that Im spending money on.

[@sethrintatu]

None of these are worth their prices, they all seem frumpy to me. The pistachio colour is pretty, but not 200 dollars pretty 😮

[@flavia9658]

Hi Jamie! First time commenting one of your videos :) I'm halfway through the review, but I can't justify that price tag for what I'm seeing! I highly recommend Comptoir des Cotonniers (I don't know if this brand ships to or exists in Canada), they sell each winter season 100% pure cashmere blend sweaters for less than half the price of Sezane if you get them on sale. I bought last year a cashmere sweater for about 90€ in blue which I absolutely LOVE and it's in perfect condition today after a couple washes. I'm considering buying another one because they are lovely, and they don't itch (something I hate). I just think Sezane is not worth the price...Love your videos 😘

[@zaraskibola8807]

Agree with you completely! Could yoi just share how you wash cashmere, I would love to invest but I'm always suspicious about washing part

[@komalrehman7173]

Thank you for the great recommendation. I was trying to find a good brand for sweaters, but not at Sézane's price.😃

[@flavia9658]

Sure! I wash it by hand (not in the washmachine) with cold water and a neutral (very soft) bar soap, being just a little more persistant in places like the armpits or if there's a dirt spot. Then, I try to wring out the garment without twisting it, because this will make it lose its original shape and size. Be sure that almost every drop of water is gone. Lastly, I leave it horizontal on a flat surface (not hanging, because again, it will make the garment lose its shape) drying out preferably outside or somewhere it can dry naturally. From time to time you might have to remove the fluff & little balls from the garment, just like in every other wool sweater. Also, where I live (Madrid) Uniqlo has a Comptoir des Cotonniers corner where every winter sales season they have these wonderful sweaters. Uniqlo has also great wool pieces at an affordable price, like 40€ or so.

[@flavia9658]

Cashmere at Uniqlo is right now 80€ approx., also a great brand if you ask me!

[@yuwang1667]

@@flavia9658 Thanks so much for sharing! I'm going to Madrid in 2 weeks and will definately check it out!

[@pinkoinkwink]

Hi Jamie, great video! 👏 I’d just like to let you know that Gaspard cardigan can be worn in both ways - front & backwards. Sézane put the tag off the center so that it will not be uncomfortable when worn backwards☺️ Amiel looked beautiful on you💙

[@elizaaduhh]

As someone who used to work at the warehouse that handled all of Sezane's returns so I had the opportunity to feel the quality of these sweaters, blouses, bags, etc...I can promise you the price does not equate to quality at all. The sweaters pill very easily, get caught on everything and anything (no matter how careful we were with the reconditioning), stitching is poorly done, bag straps often broken, zippers missing, jeans had ripped seams, jewelry often broken, the list literally goes on and on. Not sure what happened but the quality has declined over the last few years, it's very disappointing. I would personally recommend spending your money else where....but that could just be my biased opinion🤣

[@JamiePaige]

ooooo wow!! good to know!

[@AlexisMelea]

Hello! What about their shoes? I was looking into getting a pair of loafers.

[@SI-ps9ii]

Love Sézane and have many of their knits. Sizing can be fussy. I find most of their knits are oversized (except for the pieces that are clearly meant to be fitted) and look much better when you size down. I don’t mind the compositions w polyamide. 100% wool or cashmere, in a similar heavier knit weight at most retailers jumps into $3-400 price range. What I like about Sézane knits is the wide range of beautiful colors and timelessness of the styles. You just don’t see that range of colors at Reformation, COS, Aritzia, etc. I’ve had my Sézane knits for years and they have all held up really well.

[@superjules21]

The bag looks like 30$

[@ElinaG85]

That blue is stunning! It’s such a beautiful color on you. I liked the charcoal and the green too! I feel like the wool would drive me crazy. I’m so sensitive to any scratchiness.

[@christine4331]

I just want to throw out that I adore their blouses and tops for work. I have a couple of other pieces but their blouses are where I feel they shine.

[@SincerelyxYours]

I totally agree! I purchase a cardigan, wasn’t a fan. Found this beautiful blouse, and I’m in love. They’re a few more I want, still pricey but they seem worth it.

[@avocadoaficiando]

Hi Jamie, I'm new to your channel but I'm glad to see someone from Canada finally reviewing Sezane. I've been shopping from them for almost a decade but far less in recent yrs as the quality has significantly decreased while the prices have skyrocketed. Like you, I love the Emile but I also sized down (2 sizes!). I promise, you'll still get that oversized look if you go for a small. The blue Basile was GORGEOUS on you, but agreed, the sz small would be more flattering if you decide to re-order it. Finally, I hope you don't mind me saying so, but you're definitely a summer colour palette ;)

[@jefc1999]

This is such a great review! So honest! I've tried Sezane's knitwear before and it was all wayyyy too itchy. I stick to merino wool and cashmere.

[@miamor4374]

Dear Jamie, thank you! This was very helpful. I haven't tried their knitwear, though I have my eyes on the Sami Jumper which comes in a blend of merino wool and cotton. The Stacy Jumper is also calling me, but the composition makes me feel hesitant. I own only a couple of their pieces. The two I love the most is the Chlo silk shirt in Bottle Green and the Farrow Bag in Natural Heritage. P.S. The sound was fine. You're so sweet to worry, but honestly there was nothing to worry about. :)

[@matsukara799]

at that price, their sweater should not contain polyamide, I would buy a full wool or cashmere, not a blend. total skip for me, their wool coat is nice though, but I can get a max mara (their cheaper line) instead

[@beccageurts1399]

Okay I actually love the off the shoulder look on you though

[@abbyLongbourn]

You poor Canadians are getting robbed ! The Emile cardigan is 125euros here (I live in Paris) which is about 185 candian dollars. The Sama sweater is 120 euros, the Amiel is 125euros. I hate it when brands do that...

[@sabrinas.5072]

Thank you for the honest review of one of my favorite brands! I have shopped with Sezane for the last 6-7 years and what I am most impressed with are the 100% merino wool pieces. Just so soft, zero itch, and some have gorgeous knit detail. Also their merino/cotton and 100% cotton pieces and silks (with no added synthetic fibers). I think this is where they really shine, and the investment becomes worthwhile at least for me.

[@paulinevitet2989]

I needed this video thank you Jamie !!!

[@annamarial2960]

I think all the things that are made in Italy are actually made in prato or carpi where all the textile factories are actually chinese- and they ARE sweatshops. I'm only basing this assumption on the fabric composition.

[@sabrinas.5072]

Everything I tried from them in Paris made my skin red and irritated (from the itchiness) and their sizing isn't North American friendly (which is their choice). That being said, the leather goods are incredible so it's about picking and choosing what you want (I knew the sweaters were iffy but I wanted to double check before buying and then having to return them)

[@jowiens32]

Watching this has me anxious! I JUST ordered a couple sweaters last night, for the first order evver!

[@genr.4996]

Pistachio looks so good on you, way better than red

[@jessicatejeda7562]

I have 3 of the Amiel Jumpers and they are so incredibly warm and versatile. They are costly, but I justify the price bc I wear them just about every day and they really do an amazing job with insulating heat which is a must during Chicago winters. I have one of their turtlenecks and find that one to be a bit too itchy and don’t wear it.

[@miahills4831]

Love this review so much, I LOVE the look of Sezane knitwear but I’ve always found it to be too itchy on me. I’ve bought a few sweaters from them and have since sold them, with the exception of one that I loved too much to give up haha. I just always wear a long sleeve underneath. Next brand you should review is Quince!

[@alisinderellaa]

Loved the video! And the sound was fine for me! I have the amiel sweater (in cocoa) and the gaspard (black) I sized down 2x in both bc I find them really oversized, so I’m curious if you’d prefer a size down in some of the styles. I was looking at the Otis in the charcoal and I think you’ve sold me! Also the Emile in the ecru is in my wishlist. I’ve had both of my current sweaters for a few months and they hold up really well with proper care and are so warm!!

[@trishhykes5574]

Wish you would have tried some of their merino wool or cotton pieces!

[@hchats]

I have one of their tees and a blazer (can't remember the name, it's navy with gold buttons) and I absolutely love them. I got to shop in-person at their pop-up shop while in Santa Monica for work so I could experience what the quality was like firsthand. I have to say that everything they stocked in the shop felt very good, and the fabric of the tee I got feels very high quality and soft. It's washed well too. That's been my only experience so far, but everything I bought has been excellent.

[@AuroraCarlisle]

I feel like Sezane's strengths (IMO) are their dresses and blouses. The knitwear (IME) is very boxy and itchy, largely due to the mohair. I haven't found a flattering sweater from them, which makes me sad because they look so divine online. I have a ton of their dresses and blouses though, and they fit just... *chefs kiss*

[@vomittux]

love this! It’s not as high of a price point but I think a quince try on would be cool just because they are so heavily marketed

[@jenniferro10]

I’m 49. That pink sweater and the pleated jeans is giving me 8th grade, Pretty in Pink, late 80s early 90s… this is the clothing version of those nostalgic IG accounts that show you living rooms from Sheboygan in Christmas of 1989.

[@racheltaff]

So glad you did this! Would be curious if you’d do sezane shoes or coats and jackets! I’m in need of new winter coats and would love a haul

[@hijlaa]

I'm not a frequent shopper at Sézane. I'm very picky when it comes to fabric and I have always regretted buying their synthetic cardigans and sweaters. I will say though that the price in CAD or USD is vastly different from the EU prices. Their cardigans are around 95-120€ which is far more 'affordable'

I have the Gaspard cardigan in a basic color and I agree. I want to love it because I spent so much on it, but I don’t think it’s worth it. It’s the only Sezane knit I have and I wouldn’t buy any others given the composition of the fabric does not seem to meet the price. That said, I LOVE Sezane blouses. Such beautiful tops!

[@kristinkiely]

I love this video and totally agree on your points! I just made my first order at Sezane and felt the same way. One thing I must know is where your pleated jeans are from though bc they're INCRED!

[@AshleyBartanen]

Always love a Sezane video as I'm newly obsessed as well! I went to the store recently in Paris and the prices were so much cheaper, so it's hard to spend more ordering online from the USA. I bought a Betty Cardigan ($120 Euro, vs $170 on USA website) at the store in a size small and wish I got a medium because after hand washing it shrank a bit. I was able to stretch it back out mostly, and i think I hand washed it too warm. But, just be aware that if a sweater fits "just right" it might not after washing. Also, i'm super sensitive to itch and the merino wool does not bother me. I also got a scarf in the virgin wool, it's so soft and i'm obsessed. I would like to order more wool sweaters, but avoid the mohair because they just aren't comfortable on my skin.

[@veravas]

Great video 🎉!

[@1588chrissy]

Yes, the tag on the Gaspard is meant to be there so you can wear both ways. I find the Barry to be a nicer fit because of the deep vneck

[@1588chrissy]

I would say, for new to Sezane, I would stick with their decorative knit jumpers - like the Stacy, Ella, Astride, Evy - which is where they excel. Jacob is a nice basic but with a little button detail and the Betty is also a unique piece, the Harper knit dress is definitely worth trying. Some of their other knits are just okay, not special and you can probably find a better composition elsewhere.

[@komalrehman7173]

Jamie, could you please mention the blush you are wearing?

[@RivyO]

I don’t think this brand is worth it unless the pieces feel tailored to your body. I cant imagine spending so much money on slouchy fitted clothing or pieces that don’t feel good on the skin. I feel that I’d only spend a lot of money on tailored clothing. Pieces fitted perfectly to your body. Not body con, but tailored or fitted. Suits, jackets, pants etc

[@janachhh]

Great video!! Now I don't feel alone for not liking the Gaspard cardigan ;). I'm also so picky with Sézane's knits. I only buy and keep the cotton or merino wool knits to avoid any itchiness. I wait until spring to buy knits usually. I always go for natural fibres for all of the other pieces (silk, cotton, leather, etc). The grey sweater looks amazing on you!!
