After operating a Seattle pop-up in 2023, Sézane is returning with a permanent location. The brand is opening a permanent location in Seattle today, June 19. The 3,200-square-foot flagship will carry Sézane’s full product assortment, along with a dedicated Octobre Éditions space.

It’s also a big first for Octobre Éditions, which has previously appeared through pop-ups in cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Austin. The Seattle store serves as the menswear brand’s first-ever retail foot in the U.S.

Founder Morgane Sézalory said Seattle was a natural choice for the expansion. “Opening a permanent store allows us to build something enduring, with care, and in conversation with the city,” added Sézalory.

Visitors to the new flagship will find the signature women’s apparel, accessories, leatherwear, footwear, and seasonal lines of Sézane. The store will also feature exclusive pieces available only at the Seattle location.

The dedicated Octobre Éditions space brings together the brand’s lineup of menswear staples, accessories, and seasonal offerings. Octobre Éditions was established in 2016, with a focus on contemporary French menswear, prioritizing timeless design, quality materials, and responsible production.

According to the company, approximately 84% of its collections are produced in Europe.

Beyond retail, the flagship has been designed as a cultural destination inspired by French art de vivre. The space includes architectural and artistic details that are meant to be a reflection of Sézane’s Parisian heritage and Seattle’s design-oriented culture.

Customers can also look forward to special in-store events, exclusive activations, and community events throughout the year.

Founded in Paris in 2013 by Morgane Sézalory, Sézane operates as a direct-to-consumer fashion brand. The company has also built its own portfolio of Octobre Éditions, a men’s brand, and Petit Sézane, a children’s brand, extending its retail presence throughout North America and Europe.
