A Visit to Sézane in San Francisco
Last week, Mary Ann, Cindy, and I gathered in San Francisco with five other creators/bloggers to share ideas and have some fun. It was an incredible few days filled with learning, delicious food, champagne, and we even spent a morning at Sézane on Fillmore Street! I thought this would be the perfect Sunday Favorites post! Keep reading for a chance to win a Sézane Feu de Vie Candle and a tote bag!
L’Appartement San Francisco
Noelani (right) of La Vie on Grande organized a private shopping experience with Sézane, as she does for her Paris retreats. Sézane opened its doors just for us, allowing us to relax, enjoy some delightful French pastries, and shop!
If you’ve never been to a Sézane store, it truly is one of my favorite places to shop. Not only for the beautiful clothes, bags, accessories, and shoes, but also for the store’s stunning atmosphere. Some locations are called Appartements, designed like a dreamy Parisian home. The staff is warm and welcoming, and I’m lucky to have two locations in the city: one in Nolita on Elizabeth Street and a new location in Brooklyn.
Some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe are from Sézane. A few classic items I wear on repeat include:
Sézane has several shops across the United States, and they’re even turning an Airstream trailer into a mobile store to travel across the country—so there’s a chance it might come to a city near you!
Will Jackets
The Will Jacket is similar to a chore coat, with big patch pockets, buttons down the front, and a seam running down the middle of the back. I bought my first Will jacket in Paris years ago and still wear it often. They also offer seasonal versions, like a beautiful, lightweight black leather Will Jacket that feels like butter. You’ll find suede and wool options for fall and winter, along with a current open-work jacket with embroidery. They often have matching pants or shorts, making it a complete suit.
Sézane Trench Coats
You see Clyde Coat everywhere. I think Sézane may be responsible for extending the trench coat season from being mostly worn in spring to year-round. You see them in fall and even winter now with a Uniqlo thin puffer jacket layered under it. They are available in colors, and this plaid version.
Sweaters – Knitwear
Sézane offers the dreamiest knitwear. Every store showcases a gorgeous sweater wall, and the staff is always available to help you find the right size, style, and color. My favorites include:
Bags
Another signature piece from Sézane is their beautiful Justine bag, featuring a practical drawstring pouch inside to keep your valuables safe in crowded spaces. I love the two-length handles—regular and shoulder.
Chlo Shirt
I picked up this shirt in black and wore it out to dinner the same night with dark jeans and a J.Crew high-neck tank underneath. I think it will be a great travel piece to wear with white jeans, black linen trousers, or open like a jacket with a midi or maxi skirt.

What a fun outing! It looks like such a beautiful store. I love Sézane style, and would just love to have a store close by!! We are in Newport Beach, so hopefully they will bring their airstream or open a store soon ☺️ I think they would be a perfect addition to the shops on Lido Island!!!
Kim! They said they are starting in Newport Beach! It would be perfect on Lido Island! Oh, how I miss California!
I didn’t know there was a store in Atlanta. I will definitely be checking that out soon. Thanks for posting the list of stores.
Pam, and it looks like a lovely one! Although, they all are so beautiful!
I have visited both the Elizabeth Street one and the pop up in Georgetown (DC). I’m excitedly waiting for the permanent Georgetown store to open!
The Elizabeth Street shop in Nolita is the store I visit most. Would love to go to Georgetown again! It has been too long!
Very lovely things, indeed! I will plan to visit the store in Austin when my daughter graduates from UT next month.
Jane- first congratulations on your daughter’s graduation! It will be fun to visit the Austin store with your daughter!
I’ve been vicariously following Sezane for several years now. Excited to hear you may come to Newport Beach. My son lives in Irvine so we could visit often. I would love to try on a lot of different things you have to get a better idea of what fits well.
I have not visited a Sezane store yet! My youngest son lives in NYC, so maybe a stop there will be in the cards, though our trips to visit are infrequent. A delight awaits! Looks like you all enjoyed a fabulous collaborative trip with the girls!
I have been admiring the beautiful Sezane items online since you introduced me to them on your blog. So glad there is a store in SF on Fillmore now. I live close to SF and hope to visit soon. I find it difficult to buy from online European vendors due to uncertain sizing. Thanks for sharing your favorites!
Hope to visit the Sezanne in Austin next time I am in Texas. Denver seems last on every retailer’s list!,
Dreamy! I’ve never visited in person – please open a store in Chicago!
Hello Kimberly! I think Sézane would be prefect for Chicago!
Bonjour. I’ve not been to a Sezane store yet, but I have enjoyed learning about them from you and the others in your San Francisco trip. Also your site is beautiful and the content is fun. I’m glad I signed up for the mailing list.
Bonjour Jane! And merci, for joining my email list!
Unfortunately no Sezane stores in Arizona. Would love to visit the one in San Francisco!
Danielle! It seems Sézane wouldf do well in Phoenix! Maybe they will do a pop-up!
Hi Annie – I love Sezane! I’ve been to the Nolita store a couple of times while visiting my son in the city. I’m from the Boston area but have yet to get to my local Sezane – this was a good reminder! Love your blog – not usually much of a commenter but read your blog along with Cindy’s and MaryAnn’s every week!
Thank you Andrea for taking the time today to comment. I have not been to the Boston store, but the next time I’m in Boston, I hope to stop by. They are all so pretty!
I have not visited a Sezane store, so would be excited and happy to visit any one of them.
Heureuses Påques/Happy Easter.
I have visited the Sézane store in Paris – will be happy when I feel comfortable spending my money in the US again as we love SF, NY – so many places!
I’ve been to the store in Nashville when visiting family. I look forward to one opening in Newport Beach!
LOVE the Sezane clothes and ambiance. And…your blog!
Thank you Catharine!
Annie, I didn’t know you had so many great Sézane pieces! Great styling. I really love the chore coats too. I am glad you got the lace blouse. It looked fantastic on you! We are lucky to have a shop nearby in Santana row! Very kind of you to give your tote and candle away. Jackson’s fiancee got my tote. She was thrilled. Love the candles!
I had so much fun this week. I wish we had more time. What a ball. Thank you for all you did to make this happen. . Miss you! x0
Thanks for sharing your experience in San Francisco. A working conference with like minded bloggers and the opportunity to shop privately at Sezanne! I like that you have so many of their pieces and that we can trust you to share what you like best from them. I’m in the suburbs west of Chicago, so hoping that Airstream pop up visits us soon.
Hi Annie,
So fabulous seeing my favorite bloggers all together looking so well and chic!! Such a treat!
My regular Sezane was the one in Brentwood Country Mart in Santa Monica, but I have plans to visit the new store at The Grove in Los Angeles next time I go into the city next month.Love the Will jacket on you Annie in all the colors. I have the olive green suede version and the camel suede and I am hoping the black linen version will be back for the summer, Noelani wears so well.
Happy Easter !
Dear Annie,
It’s way past your bed time. However, I’m just now able to enjoy your blog after a delightful Easter gathering which included a dear niece and family visiting from Jersey City. King Salmon, dessert on the patio, and a spontaneous ride on the new light rail link from Mercer Island across Lake Washington to Seattle and back was great entertainment for three generations. The link is the first floating light rail in the world. On a sunny day like today, Mt. Rainier to the south and Mt Baker to the north are visible in all their glory.
You have always inspired me with your Sezane choices; their sustainability and the ways you wear them so beautifully, . In fact, in 2024, when my husband and I celebrated our 60th anniversary with three weeks in France, because of you, I sought out a Sezane Store in Paris and purchased a trench coats which I love.
It would be so much fun to visit San Francisco with several friends and shop together at Sezane’s. Did you purchase something for yourself or are you waiting for your next trip to Paris?
Easter Hugs, Diney
I will be in NYC in May and a visit to Sezane is on my list. Thank you for this opportunity! I love your blog and read it religiously!
You lucky puppies to all meet up. Would have loved to hear what you all have to say. Love your Sezanne photos. I think one is opening up at The Grove. I must check it out and see how your suggestions fit. Going to Japan in October and these look just right.
Thanks again.
Annie! I love all these Sezane pieces on you. Wow, quite a collection and all French-girl perfection. It was my first time inside a Sezane store too … but it won’t be my last. Thanks for organizing such a fun summit … with the Sezane visit as a highlight. xo
