I'm so happy you're encouraging people to go vintage or second hand!! I find it actually fairly easy to find good compositions on sweaters and jackets that are a few years old. I'm also passing on everything in this lookbook. The bodysuit would have been a maybe if cost less. I can find 100% cotton bodysuits for far less than $185CAD.
Agreed! So many great quality sweaters and coats out there already. ❤
This green jumper suits you so well ❤
Thank you!
@@katie_louiseYes, it is a lovely colour and suits you very well.
I bought the burgundy trousers because of your recommendation and I love them! And they are not itchy at all, exactly like you said. Thanks for your informative videos
Matthew trousers are amazing! Definitely one of the best buys you can make from Sézane I think 😊
That's quite an interesting direction you're going indeed 😊 I agree with you on the compositions though I recently made a couple of compromises - like that Sama jumper in yellow screamed my name and surprisingly it's not itchy!
But generally speaking, I think I got to a point where I own all I need so, unless something really catches my heart, I would be more mindful on buying (and agree, always better to check Vinted, got incredible deals!).
I really appreciate your itch rating and your honest reviews! Thank you! ❤ The first time I purchased Sezanne, I was so disappointed in the feel of so many of their knitted items, and I thought it was just me.
Yak wool is supposed to be very similar to merino! But it's even more antimicrobial, warmer, softer, lighter, and slightly more expensive. I want to try Sezane's yak wool but waiting for a more interesting style
This is good to know, thank you! ❤
This is so helpful for people to not waste their money and also create more waste when these items don't work out. Thank you x
I passed on everything because I've been very mindful in the past 3 years what I add to my wardrobe.Currently only item on my wishlist is one of the Smythe blazers which I'm saving to get for myself.
Love this walk through. It really helped me browse with more clarity. The vintage blue coat is stunning.
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Great video, as always, Katie! :) Not buying anything from Sézane at the moment and for the forseeable future (haven't bought anything from them in about a year, actually). I'm with you on the fabric contents... for the price of most items, you'd expect better. But the thing that displeases me even more is the fact that now almost everything is made in China. And this is by no means a matter of xenophobia - just the opposite. By now we should all be very aware of how factory workers in a lot of Asian countries are treated, and the fact that suddenly Sézane started producing what, 80%? of their collections in China just shows that they are trying to severely cut down on the costs of production by outsourcing to places where workers are being paid much less and expected to work a lot more and in worse conditions. The main reason that got me into Sézane in the first place was precisely the fact that they produced mostly in Europe, so I didn't have to worry about my clothes having been made by exploited poor women and children.
Thank you! I don’t know, I’m conflicted on this topic and I think it’s definitely nuanced. I’m very reluctant to swear off all clothing made in a particular country, without knowing the factories they’re using I feel (personally) it’s impossible to tell. China has some of the best clothing manufacturers in the world. I understand that it’s cheaper for sézane and probably why they do it though. The Dior scandal that happened recently shows that just because it’s made in Europe, doesn’t guarantee ethical labour practices.
@@katie_louise thanks for your reply. I do get your point. There have been similar situations in the UK during the pandemic, and also recently in Portugal in the agricultural sector. The thing is that those unethical practices came to light because they also happened to be illegal. They were scandals because they occurred in democratic countries, with labour regulations that were not being met, and there was a free press to scrutinize and uncover these situations. Several conscious brands, on the other hand, produce in Asia and still manage to have transparent practices and get good ratings from platforms such as Good on You. Producing in Asia, by itself, doesn't have to be a bad thing. But in the specific case of Sézane, it happened alongside other significant changes in the brand's ethos, so I don't really think it's just a small irrelevant detail. It's Sézane becoming essentially a fast fashion brand. And, all the time, I hear people say things like "for this price, you can get 100% wool in [insert name of fast fashion brand]". Perhaps it's also worth thinking that if you can afford and are willing to pay Sézane prices, then you can choose to support other brands who are making better efforts in general.
I loved your review of the lookbook. Very honest and real. Thank you for sharing XO
Thanks Maria ❤
I avoid synthetical fibers like the plague, so I get you. Bad for the environment, I sweat more easily in them, their look decline lot faster than natural fibers ones, itchy and frankly at Sezane's price points I refuse to buy anything less than full natural, I can go to other places then. It's just not worth it. Especially bc I only want to invest in pieces that I can keep for many years.
Totally agree with you!
I agree, and it’s so annoying to find a 100 % linen blazer for example that has a 100 % polyester lining (i thrifted one and was too excited about the linen marking that I totally missed the lining composition info). 🫠
I used to love sezane for their vintage and boho style. But nowadays, I feel like they're becoming more and more like fast fashion, with cheaper materials and simple designs :( I'm a little turned off and am more attracted to other brands (like Sea NY and Dôen on the second hand market).
BTW, thank you for yor great content :D Always appreciate it !
I love the Calixte coat, it's almost $1000 here though 😭I'm curious to see Sami + Naelle in real life too, also unsure about what the color looks like.. every Sezane burgundy is a different shade! lol I am excited about this new collection!! Great video, Katie! As always ♥
Oh my gosh $1k is insane 😮 thank you Mila, I loved your video too!🤍
It’s $1330 in Canada 😱🪦
Unreal. I could get a couple very nice coats for that price from other brands
@@seachelles7 yes it’s absurd 😓 same for Australia, the mark up is huge :(
I have a really beautiful yak wool sweater (in burgundy❤️) it’s quite dressy and nice for staying warm during winter get togethers or events but it’s not a full day wear for me. If I bought another yak piece it would be a cardigan or vest, something that wasn’t next to skin.
This is helpful, thank you!
I agree with your reviews of the fabric composition wholeheartedly. Thank you so much! On Sunday I ordered the navy Adel Jumper and I think I purchased the last one in stock in my size. 😅Hope the bell sleeves aren’t too wide as you say.
Mamie = Granny in French Main = Hand, les mains de mamie are a bunch of grannies from Marseilles in the south of france, who really do hand knit and market jumpers and stuff, that really do look as if your talented & crafty gran knitted it especially for you. P.S I love your reviews, thanks.
Some of the newer knitwear styles look like something you can buy from H&M. Nothing special at all😔
I know what you mean, it’s a lot more minimal than the old Sézane
The Mia cardigan is truly beautiful! But my word, the itchyness!! 😅 I couldn't bare more than a minute of try-on. Now I don't even order anything from Sezane anymore, that looks fluffy. 😅
Haha it looks so itchy 😂 me too, I immediately scroll past anything with that texture now 😢
Same here 😂
Received the sami and matching skirt in burgundy. Can confirm it is the cool tone, plum color unlike lookbook photo.
I’m waiting on mine ad was hoping for the warmer red. Oh well, now I know not to have my hopes up:)
@@kaw6168 I definitely was hoping for that too. (think Sezane usually labels the warmer red, Garnet). Definitely agree with you - I wish Sezane would share the details like composition in the lookbook. Thanks so much for sharing the video. :)
I have the Lauren in yak wool and I love it. It's definitely soft, but not too soft if that makes sense. I"m not worried that it's going to just wear away or pill on me. Recommend the yak wool but I am one of those who cannot wear cropped jumpers so am sadly going to have to skip most of their other yak wool pieces. I did go for the Adel in navy but I like the wide sleeves so have high hopes for it. I do wish the "surprise gift" totes were optional though. That's something I appreciate about Lilysilk - you can opt out of their little freebies if you don't want them.
I just ordered the Elena and I have the Jady cardigan which is also 100% yak wool. It’s very soft but not as soft as cashmere
The Sami/Naelle Set has the same color like the Mathew trousers in burgundy.
Good to know! Thanks
I have one of the yak wool jumpers and it’s extremely soft and comfy :) really recommend it!!
I tried two of them on and they were outright scratchy and rough on my skin. 😅
@@isabelw.5666haha, itchiness is so personal 😂 one persons soft is another persons nightmare 😅
@@isabelw.5666 oh nooo, it really depends on everyone’s skin I guess. I detest the Sezane pulls with polyester because they’re super itchy, but the yak one and merino wool are good :)
Love shorter dresses or cardigan like dress in winter to use with leggings and tall boots
I have a long cardigan with a high neck in Yak’s wool from Bodio’s (this is their brand description "The wool of the yak is just as soft, and warmer than cashmere. We only use the undyed yak. Our precious fibres are all processed in-house, and we spend more time on finishing than any other producer. As a result, our knitwear is super smooth.”). The undyed color is an amazing rich cool chocolate brown. I agree that it’s super smooth to the touch, very fluffy and comfy. I am not that bothered cause it’s a cardigan, but the high collar it’s sometimes itchy. Beautiful quality for sure.
I have the Rick coat (shorter Mederick) in Black from last year. I was hoping they would release it again this year in more colours but so far we have not seen it. I purchased the Adel jumper in Navy because I actually think the buttons all the way down the sleeves is different. I’m getting to the point now where I only need one or two pieces a season so I’m pretty selective. I also bought the Annie shirt in the pink pattern because it’s 100% silk and has more Spring vibes to me.
Yes that Annie shirt is perfect for you going into Spring! Agreed, I think we are all collectively being more selective which can only be a good thing 😊
Hi Katie 🎉
I ordered Milo in Chocolate Croco last Saturday and can't wait to see it in person 😊✨
Ahh you’ll love it! It’s so beautiful 🥰
It will be my first Sezane bag too 🤗🍀
I agree. The baby alpaga and polyamide is so itchy. I purchased one this season, it will be my last one.
I’m exactly like you on this one. I have really sensitive skin so I avoid all the mohair and the alpaca. Sometimes the polyamide is itchy as well. So none of their jumpers appealed to me sadly. I got really tempted with the Clyde coat in the checked fabric and I ordered it. I have the Mathew trousers in brown from last year and I love them! Not sure whether to get the black ones or the burgundy ones 🤔 if you do get the Hillary dress please let us know! ❤
Hi there thank you so much for the lovely review. You and I are on the same exact wave length about itchiness so I really value your opinion. I can’t even look at some of the book book because I get itchy just looking.
Haha I get that 😂 thank you for watching 🥰
Same 😂😂😂😂
Honest question, has Sezane always had so many jumpers made in China? I’m not sure if I wasn’t paying attention in prior years but I was surprised how many are now labeled “Made in China.”
As far as I’m aware yes they’ve always produced a good chunk in China, as well as Europe. Personally, I don’t have a problem with it, China has some of the best clothing manufacturers in the world. Without knowing the exact factory, you can’t tarnish all the clothes made in one country as ‘bad’. If you heard about the Dior scandal which happened recently in Italy, that shows that poor labour practices and mistreatment of workers can happen in Europe as well.
My first Gaspards were made in China in 2020 :)
I'm not very sensitive to wool/mohair, but I have the Lizette cardigan from Sezane and I can't stand it! So itchy on my skin. It's on sale on my vinted for that reason, even though I like it. Same for a previous cardigan from them, gone.
On the contrary I used the purple Pippa dress (the sleeveless one) a ton this summer, and I don't wear that color usually. Really flattering and easy to style.
I find Sezane prices high for what they offer, that's for sure, and it's hard to find stuff secondhand give the amount of fakes. But I enjoy what I kept from them, I think some of the clothes are still worth it.
I wish Sezane would do the knitted dresses more like knee length.
I got the Othello in charcoal because I was planning to get the Othello in a couple colours from the start, but I was so disappointed with the composition of the green Nils. Love the look of it but I just know it is going to be SO itchy.
I liked the Annie shirt but think the print might be more pillowcase than clothing friendly. I think it’s going to make an adorable tote.
I debated the Sami and Jacob in burgundy, but like you, was confused if it’s actual cool burgundy or if it’s the warm, almost rusty burgundy. I trust that because Sezane always errs on the side of warm, it’s the rusty shade which is not friendly to my colouring
Yak wool is comfy on skin and very warm, however it is certainly not as soft as merino and cashmere.
I’m not tempted to buy anything from the lookbook - I have enough pieces from Sezane and I don’t think that it’s a very interesting style to always dress head to toe in the same brand. Ordered some items from the brand Petite Mendigote recently though- it’s a brand with similar style than Sezane but for a more affordable price though (and better composition as well).
I’ll have to check out Petite Mendigote, thanks!
Nice pieces, but I do not know what I would pick😆! If you were to choose between burgundy Demelier Vancouver and Sezane Milo Classic what would you pick? I am struggling to decide which one to get! Thanks so much for your opinion!😘
A good yak sweater is not itchy, very similar to cashmere. Definitely much warmer that merino
Thank you!
@@katie_louise sure! If we assume that their yak fiber is of a good quality, then this is probably great news for those who shop the brand.
Yak wool is probably cheaper to manufacture than merino. I think it has durable qualities.
Actually I am wrong about cost. It may even be more expensive.
Love your videos! Interesting the Othello is itchy for you. It was recommended that I try that over the Emile. The Othello feels super soft to me… I’m super sensitive but I can’t do most things with mohair/wool. I can’t only do merino, alpaca, cotton. I think I might try the Sami jumper/a Elle combo in navy. The burgundy is beautiful but feels far too “holiday” for me.
On the yak wool.. a colleague of mine is a knitter and she doesn't really rate yak wool as it's not as soft as a merino or cashmere
Lea cardigan is so gorgeous especually the buttons. But I tried it and it is 1. extremely itchy 2. So hairy, everything around me was hairy - no go with black trousers. I was really tempted by it but then i thought - if i buy something for this price, it must be super comfortable. I wonder why do they do that? Or most of the people dont mind itchy?
I tried the TOMI jumper and the yak wool was not bad. I did not find it itchy and I am normally sensitive that. The fit was definitely boxy and not flattering on me.
I’m new to Sezane and I have found your viideos really helpful. I bought a Carlo waistcoat in green and a green claude bag. I am also waiting for a navy lace bag ad an artemis belt but that order is stuck in customs for some reason.
I am wondering about that pale blue coat. Thank you for your explorations.
Great picks! Thank you for watching ❤
Do you still like your rosewood Othello?
I love the sami and naelle set but as soon as I washed them (following the instructions to the T) they shrunk by like 3 sizes....Sezane customer service was super nice and reimbursed me but now I am scared for my other set. Are these not meant to be washed 😅 such a shame. Has anyone else had the same experience?
What do the instructions say? I hand wash all my Sézane knits x
I dont't know anything about the particular pieces you mentioned, but anything with wool in it is better to be hand washed only (and sparingly washed in general). If there is no stain on a wool piece it suffices to air it for a few hours.
I have wool coats from & other stories and COS less than £300 and theyre all 100% wool 😊
Exactly!! These Sézane ones are just not worth it
@@katie_louise yeah honestly they need to do better if they're charging those prices!
It also depends on your body type. I like the wool coat from Sézane better for my x figure than those overloaded coats from & other Stories. I had a swimmer's back in them, terrible. And I didn't find the quality that great either.
The Jady is cropped
Oh I just purchased the Evy cardigan but I am planning to wear it with something inside... I hope it's not going to be itchy 😢
Evy is very soft! 🤍
Hopefully it will be okay for you! Honestly itchiness is so personal I think 😅 I remember it wasn’t the worst one I’ve tried but I just don’t find mohair in any capacity comfortable 🤣
I bought a yak wool mix turtleneck from Muji back in 2017. It really helped me survive NYC winters. Since it was a blend, i cant say how pure yak wool feels.
Unfortunately i didnt read the care labels back then and i completely fckd it up lmao
Haha oops, we’ve all been there 😂
The Sweater, u got on is from sezane ? Color is beautiful V Collar not very deep love that
it's linked in the description! But no it's not Sezane
Hey Katie. Do you have a discount code active now for sezane?
I don’t, sorry! Sézane don’t really offer discount codes 🤍
I’m not sure on the Yak wool, I think it’s supposed to replace their cashmere. It’s a pass for me.
It baffles me they are not using any cashmere tbh. It’s the right price point for the brand their customers would eat it up. Makes no sense to me
@@katie_louisei totally agree. I’m always interested on the next cashmere piece.Sezane used to do cashmere pieces or a mix with wool. They have now replaced it with yak wool, Disappointed.
On the Clyde coat I totally agree with you, for that price better off getting the Mederick.
Always loving your videos x
Did you need to hem your Matthew trousers?
No I’m 165cm and they are just right on me ❤
