it’s so great to see reviews like this! nowadays it’s so easy to find hauls but not many that really review the longevity of items. i’d love to see more videos like this on some of your other longer owned piece/shopped from brands. it’s easy to fall into buying pricier pieces with the expectation it should last longer with nicer quality fabrics, and it’s not always the case.
Absolutely, I would love to continue to do updates. When I first show an item, of course it is hard to comment on longevity, whereas 1-2 years or even 3-4 years down the track, we can have a much better idea. Will keep this in mind for future content as well :) Thank you so much x
Also agree! It is really hard to find this kind of review, and I think this kind of review is the most helpful. Of course, almost everything looks good straight out of the box, but it's hard to tell if it lasts!
I really appreciate that you pay close attention to the fabrics! And I agree with you that the pictures on their website are not very good (at least they make it hard to tell what a piece will look like).
Try Everlane for blazers with good wool content! Their oversized blazer has a similar look to what you’re going for, but it’s definitely wool and well-structured.
I really loved your recap of everything. I am new to the brand so I appreciate your thorough review. I totally agree on the collette mariniere - I sized up and it was still tight on the underarm area. I just tried the austin trousers and I love that paper bag style but i suggest sizing down if you try them because they run rather large.
I love your recommendation for sezane items. I got a few items badse on what you like and I'm loving them so far. Thank you so much for making the video. 😀
Great video! I loved seeing everything. For me, I think the only way I would ever purchase something at Seazane prices (unless a miracle happens) would definitely be a maxi dress. I love those and I think quality needs to be there for a piece like that.
It is a gorgeous brand but yes! the photos are the absolute worst 😖 You can't tell how long a sweater is because they tuck it in always 😓 And they need to use all types of models to show off the clothes 🙌
So true!! But I've gotten pretty good at guessing + am lucky to have free returns in Australia which has made it a bit better. Thank you for watching xx
Very informative video! I was just drooling over their new sandals, but now I'll think twice, especially since I don't really need a new pair. All in all, a lot of Sezane pieces, at least for me, are like pretty pictures - nice to look at but far too feminine/bohemian to successfully blend in with the rest of my wardrobe. Although I do love watching other people wear them :D
Thank you so much :) Their styles do lean very feminine and definitely won't be for every style type. Thank you for watching despite of this, I really appreciate it :) x
Great video! I did purchase the Venice jeans recently, I found them to be quite comfortable and flattering. Love the high waisted wide leg cut. I am usually a US 8 but did size down to the 6. Thanks for the review! 😊👍🏼👏🏼☀️
Keep the best and worst Sezane videos coming. Helps me evaluate any new or potential Sezane purchases, and I’m also all about details and fabric content. Thanks!
I have an ever growing collection of Sezane pieces, and love yours! I tend to go for items in their classic cuts, in 100% silk, cotton or linen, or a blend of those. Anything with polyester is an immediate no for me. The exaggerated frills and ruffles we've been seeing don't suit me so I add feminine detail through print, lace or embroidery. I agree with you about the belts...they are gorgeous, original and great quality. The only purchase I regret so far is the Ornella jumper in dark green. The merino is lovely and soft but it's really thin and I don't like the way my skin shows through the knit. I wish I'd exchanged it for a lighter colour as the patterns and cuff buttons are really pretty. I do like the perfect slim jeans in black but I returned the blue ones once I realised they contained polyester, and as you say, they're quite stretchy.
Thank you for sharing Paula :) We have very similar thoughts on the brand - hoping they do less polyester pieces and less of the dramatic frills/ruffles in exchange for something more wearable :) xx
As an expat living in France, I’ve accumulated a fair amount of Sézane pieces over the years. My top three favorites are the Will jacket, gaspard jumper and tomboy shirts. The quality of all three are amazing and all are wardrobe classics. I also love Sézane silk shirts - the simple designs like the Florence (pajama style color), Ann or Pierro shirts. They lose me when they go too trendy or girly/frilly.
Oh yes, all great classics! I feel like these pieces you've just mentioned would work so well for so many wardrobes as they are just lovely classic pieces :)
I just got the maje wool skirt and the balzac paris white long sleeve top from your vedio. Unfortunately they look much better in the video. In person the quality is bad like 50 dollars. Love your videos and style though. Next time maybe mention if they are worth purchasing if we cannot return them.
Hi Kelly! I'll love to know what you didn't like about them so I can bring it up in future videos :) I actually really like the long sleeve Balzac Top as I find the cotton quite thick and soft. The skirt for me is good in quality, though nothing spectacular so I can understand on that part.
What a great, honest and helpful video, Helen. I am so split on my opinion of Sezane: The styles are so gorgeous, but not always impressed with the quality and fabrics. Thank you so much for this informative review!
Some of the Sezane pieces I've got are hero pieces in my wardrobe. I love their tomboy shirts (I've got two: white and blue/ecru stripes and they go with everything), the Charlotte blouse (silk with lace lapel, looks really chic) and the Dora skirt (black lace maxi skirt, perfect for casual days). My beef with Sezane is also the material (synthetics and Singapore weather just don't go) - so many lovely pieces but the moment they're more than 40% polyester I'm like, "Next!"
Its funny, I really like the way you look on the black mini dress and you want to return it.😂 But we all want to get more use out of a piece. If you are not going to wear it, there’s no point to to keep it.
Haha thank you :) I think sometimes things may look pleasant but not 100% ourselves if that makes sense. I also like the black dress but just find I never reach for it. Have decided to hold onto it for a bit longer :)
Also just to add on blazer composition - a lot of brands use poly blends because of the way the fabric drapes. One of my best blazer buys was a wool and poly blazer from Helmut Lang. Cost me $750+ and I wore that thing 400X+ - the quality of it was incredible! Obviously not always the case but something I try to keep in mind (as I’m a total fabric snob 🤣🤣🤣)
That makes a lot of sense actually! I think being such a fabric snob has stopped me from appreciating the fact that there are high quality blends that drape so well! Definitely something I’ll be keeping in mind for future wardrobe additions 🥰😍
Lovely video. As always stunning and really informative. Quick question? How do find the James knit? That was my first love. It looks and feels amazing. However for me, the extreme pilling / fuzz balls / bobbles annoyed me especially given that they happened after only 3 wears. I did a bit of research and found out that blends where many different materials are put together together, tend to often come away from each other, resulting in pilling.
Actually I've never had a problem with it pilling. However, if it happens, I recommend using a wool/cashmere comb every so often to depill it :) Comes out looking much better x
For the first striped sweater, I think it is 100% wool. The label says Main fabric 100% Wool, Stripe: 65% Polyester, 35% Acrylic. I think by band they are referring to the band where they sewed the buttons.
Sezane's prints are gorgeous, but I do wish they would use more natural fabrics and that they would take better photos. Is it so much to ask that we see the garment straight on?? (Also, this style of review is so helpful, so thank you!)
So good to know! I have actually heard good things about the sneakers and glad to hear they’re comfortable and hold up better than some options I’ve tried :)
Hi Kimberly, the pattern is actually mismatched by design on the dress haha. One thing I appreciate about the brand is that they have quite cool and unique designs which is why I decided to pay a premium for it.
My favourite is sage Roberto jumper, Lorena blouse (the same blue/red print as the dress you have showed), and vintage blue Gaspard. I am also very underwhelmed with shoes - I have had two pairs of boots and both of them fell apart within less than a year!
Hi! What I really like about Sézane is its feminine, classy look but I have to admit that I am often disappointed by their choice of fabrics… we deserve more for The prices we pay 😅 Plus, The photos are stylish but not really helpful, you can’t actually see those important details that would help your purchase! When it comes to shoes, I have had a good experience so far: I bought two pairs of Lea boots and they’re still doing fine 😍
Agreed the photos really need some work! Oh thanks for sharing your experience with the Lea, that's great to know, I'm glad some of their shoes hold up well and maybe I've just had bad luck with mine :)
Hi Wendy :) I think the blue is a slightly thicker and nicer material than the white. The white is a slightly lighter material which might be quite nice for Spring/Summer. Quality wise, I prefer the blue. Style wise, the white is a bit more versatile especially for Spring/Summer.
Hi, I really like your review. Super useful. May I ask your advice if I’d like to buy a Austin trouser, which size I shall go for (0 or 2)? I wear similar size as you did. Uk could fit 4, depends on the cutting. I wear 24 for most of jeans (j brand, frame, AG). Thanks in advance.
Oh no! I hope their shoe quality improves soon as their boots are so cute (just not the best in quality clearly if this is a common issue we're both having). Thank you for letting me know x
Hello! Lovely video - big Sezane fan myself. I recently got the Will Jacket in Ecru because I am taller and I feel like the Willa will be short on me. I was surprised at how light the fabric is- it’s not stiff and so upon wear it creases very easily. Do you find this to be the case with the Willa Ecru jacket as well? Thanks!
Hi :) Thank you for watching. I find my Ecru version lighter than the blue version I have. The blue feels more like a denim jacket, and the ecru more like a thicker shirt. I find that because of that, it does crease more easily. I wonder if the ecru is made lighter for Spring/Summer. I would have preferred a slightly thicker material but still happy with my ecru :) xx
@@DailyHelenJ Agree! I have the light blue version and it is a demin jacket, where as the ecru feels like a shirt jacket. Anyway, glad to know I’m not the only one.
So everyone’s been raving about Sezane jeans, this makes me wonder if they were paid to push their jeans 👖 I was thinking of investing in them but I respect your honesty about the brand. I’d rather invest in a brand I know and love.
I have bought quite a few Sezane pieces over the years and these are my overall thoughts: sizing is weird, it runs way too big and most pieces look weird on us petites. Sweaters are okay, I have sold most of them on Vestiaire after a few months because they shed too much for my liking and aren’t as soft as people say they are. Their cashmere and merino wool are lovely, though. Their best pieces are dresses and blouses/shirts, especially those made of silk. Their viscose is also pretty high quality in my opinion.
Agreed, I have personally found sizing actually quite consistent, but other than that point, we share the same thoughts on the brand :) Thank you for sharing x
I like the looks but if the fit is weird on petites it is not for me...I dont trust weird angles on pbotos and tucked in sweaters I need fit as a petite not huge boxy oversized items.
I find that the blue is thicker, its more like a soft denim jacket. The ecru feels more like a thicker shirt and is lighter. I do love the details on the ecru but it is lighter in material. Hope this helps x
Darling, lovely review! However, Sezane isn't the only fashion house using synthetics. All designers use synthetic fabrics here and there but I find it fairly priced in comparison to some big famous labels that charge 1000s of $. I do read the label and cannot wear polyester as well and this is where I find it unfair to pay the same price for polyester (recycled or otherwise) as for pure silk!
really interested in the sézane silk pieces since compared to other brand's silk they're quite cheap....even compared to other sézane items, their silk shirts cost like only 5 euros more than their cotton ones
I very much appreciate you discussing about the material aspect.. it's so disappointing when you like a piece with raving reviews then you realize that they are made out of synthethic when you add them to your cart. Great video!
Hey, Helen ! Great video ! Just a few heads up : the Alicia skirt in Pastel Flowers is made of 100% Recycled Polyester and for the shoes : you have to get them to the cobbler after one use because the sole (the part of your shoe that touches the ground while walking) is made of leather and it needs an extra sole to protect it and that will prolongate the life of your shoes (your cobbler must know how to do it)... I have different pairs of Sézane shoes (7) and i am very pleased with the quality.
Hi Doriana :) Yes, it is actually 100% recycled polyester (so many tags I read I got it mixed up). For shoes with a leather sole, I usually bring shoes to get a rubber sole, however I was a bit lazy with this pair. 100% agreed that the sole should have a leather sole put on however I do still think that my particular pair is lacking in quality (leather itself doesn't feel nice). Thank you so much for watching and for sharing! I'm so glad that you've had a better experience with their shoes.
@@DailyHelenJ I find that it's a shame that on the same models the tissu differs but the price stays the same, worse sometimes it's more elevated for a synthetic or lesser quality fabric. But hey, they moderate and balance the price so that more expensive tissues like silk becomes more affordable. My favorite shoes from Sézane are : the Jack sneakers in écru and black, the Low Laura pumps and the Penelope boots. Something I regret about Sezane is that the quality sometimes isn't consistent not even for the same models... some of their leather goods are inconsistent in quality especially the type of leather called héritage...people complain about the belts made in this type of leather...I think their quality control service needs a serious improvement. Anyway, I enjoyed your review very much... I know for sure that I bought some pieces after seeing your reviews like the Léontine Jumper. And for sure your review is the best one there... We see a lot of unboxing and try on but not so full in-depth like you do. Sending lots of love !
Great review! I agree with everything apart from the striped top! I have the exact same and I love it! I now really wish to get a silky skirt from them!
Hello, please, could you tell me if the Leontine sweater shrinks when washed? I'm hesitating between size M and L depending on whether it shrinks or not. Thank you! 😊
DO you have experience with the quality of bags from Sezane? I am thinking of Farrow bag and I am not sure if it is worth the price. Thank you for your reviews :) Have a good day
I have previously had a Sezane claude bag, and gifted my mum a victor bag. Both bags have been lovely in quality so no complaints there. The heritage leather that they use marks very easily. Not a defect, just the nature of that smooth leather. Other than that, never had a issue :) x
Great video! My favorites are the silk Sollie midi dress from a couple years ago, the Will jacket and the Martin trousers, which I have in 3 different colors/materials and just fit me perfectly. I do love the Achilles sweater, I think it’s so warm and cozy and goes with everything (I have it in marled camel). Recently purchased the Brut Sexy jeans and while they fit well it’s not a special piece of clothing, I agree with you on that. Also have the Venice jeans now which I absolutely love!
Your observations are so on point and helpful. I couldn’t agree more especially on their shoes. Years ago I bought a few pairs, which, while beautiful in style, seriously lacked in quality and comfort. Was about to give them a second chance this spring and you’ve saved me the trouble! 😁 Thank you, and so glad you got the white Willa! 😍
I have had my eye on the Will Jacket for ages but I can’t decide which colour to get. I also find it difficult to work out the sizing. I never trust sizing charts. 😬 As long as the return policy from Australia is good, I should probably take the plunge and try it. I’m an AU10 5’10” with broad shoulders and long limbs, so Where I would normally buy a small from Australian brands, I tend to size up to medium for European and US brands. But they never go on sale. 🙁 Have you bought much from Everlane?
They do free returns from Australia which is great :) I have purchased a lot from Everlane in the past and have plenty of reviews on my channel/blog if you are interested :) x
Shamed of this brand for being predatory at worst and culturally insensitive at best. Indigenous cultures in Mexico are treated like a display cabinet to pick and choose from. This brand reinforce “racist stereotypes” Stop exploiting Indigenous and Afro-Mexican people and communities as cultural capital.” They are not objects to sell clothing.
This was helpful, like a good honest review and the attention to the quality of it!! I've been weary of getting some stuff because of the same questions you brought forward! Thanks!
it’s so great to see reviews like this! nowadays it’s so easy to find hauls but not many that really review the longevity of items. i’d love to see more videos like this on some of your other longer owned piece/shopped from brands. it’s easy to fall into buying pricier pieces with the expectation it should last longer with nicer quality fabrics, and it’s not always the case.
Totally agree with you

Great video ❤️ I knew you will mention Gaspard and Leotine jumper as favorites 🙂 My favourites as well. I love this Curated jumper on you so much 😍
Haven’t taken it off since it’s arrived :) thank you for watching :)) xx
I love their Jack sneakers! They’re ultra comfortable as the leather they use covers the entire shoe and molds to your feet beautifully!
So good to know! I have actually heard good things about the sneakers and glad to hear they’re comfortable and hold up better than some options I’ve tried :)
@@DailyHelenJ had them for a year and a half now and just bought another!
I think Ganni’s outrageously priced for the quality. That first dress isn’t even well pattern-matched on the front.
Hi Kimberly, the pattern is actually mismatched by design on the dress haha. One thing I appreciate about the brand is that they have quite cool and unique designs which is why I decided to pay a premium for it.
hi, Helen😊
have you tried Sezane Le Crop jeans? how do you find them?

Hi Helen, thank you for the honest and detailed review. I'm interested in getting a willa jacket. Which colour do you recommend more, white or blue?

For the Leontine can you actually unbutton the buttons?
Yes :) you can unbutton the buttons easily x
May I ask what lippy you’re wearing…it’s such a lovely colour…..love the blue of the Willa jacket 💙
Thank you, it is the 3CE Smoked Rose Lipstick x
@@DailyHelenJ thank you….it really suits you x
Haven't bought anything from Sezane yet but I've been eyeing the black Gaspard knit so good to know it's worth it!
Love your content!!! How do you actually buy these pieces from Australia? Their website seems to suggest that they don't do international shipping?
Great honest video that provides good advice on the brand. Thanks!
Thank you Frances :) xx
this was such a helpful video!!
I just wondered if sezane has any discount codes??
Those Sezane silk underwear tops dont feel like silk at all. Anybody have the same opinion?
Love your video, subscribed! I want to see more content like this. I thought your reviews were thoughtful and very useful to me.
Please do a video on high quality shoes! I would like to invest in some but so hard to know where to go
I very much appreciate you discussing about the material aspect.. it's so disappointing when you like a piece with raving reviews then you realize that they are made out of synthethic when you add them to your cart. Great video!
Hey, Helen ! Great video ! Just a few heads up : the Alicia skirt in Pastel Flowers is made of 100% Recycled Polyester and for the shoes : you have to get them to the cobbler after one use because the sole (the part of your shoe that touches the ground while walking) is made of leather and it needs an extra sole to protect it and that will prolongate the life of your shoes (your cobbler must know how to do it)... I have different pairs of Sézane shoes (7) and i am very pleased with the quality.
Hi Doriana :) Yes, it is actually 100% recycled polyester (so many tags I read I got it mixed up). For shoes with a leather sole, I usually bring shoes to get a rubber sole, however I was a bit lazy with this pair. 100% agreed that the sole should have a leather sole put on however I do still think that my particular pair is lacking in quality (leather itself doesn't feel nice). Thank you so much for watching and for sharing! I'm so glad that you've had a better experience with their shoes.
@@DailyHelenJ I find that it's a shame that on the same models the tissu differs but the price stays the same, worse sometimes it's more elevated for a synthetic or lesser quality fabric. But hey, they moderate and balance the price so that more expensive tissues like silk becomes more affordable. My favorite shoes from Sézane are : the Jack sneakers in écru and black, the Low Laura pumps and the Penelope boots. Something I regret about Sezane is that the quality sometimes isn't consistent not even for the same models... some of their leather goods are inconsistent in quality especially the type of leather called héritage...people complain about the belts made in this type of leather...I think their quality control service needs a serious improvement. Anyway, I enjoyed your review very much... I know for sure that I bought some pieces after seeing your reviews like the Léontine Jumper. And for sure your review is the best one there... We see a lot of unboxing and try on but not so full in-depth like you do. Sending lots of love !
Thanks for your videos! Very informative and helpful. I love your style. 😍
Appreciate the honest reviews!
Thank you for watching :) xx
Great review! I agree with everything apart from the striped top! I have the exact same and I love it! I now really wish to get a silky skirt from them!
Does anybody know a shop with somehow similar design?
I received the Soho Playsuit in that green floral print and absolutely love it. I agree the ruffles on that top are just too much!
This was such a helpful video - thank you!
Hello, please, could you tell me if the Leontine sweater shrinks when washed? I'm hesitating between size M and L depending on whether it shrinks or not. Thank you! 😊
It doesn’t shrink at all for me :) I would go for regular size xx
DO you have experience with the quality of bags from Sezane? I am thinking of Farrow bag and I am not sure if it is worth the price. Thank you for your reviews :) Have a good day
I have previously had a Sezane claude bag, and gifted my mum a victor bag. Both bags have been lovely in quality so no complaints there. The heritage leather that they use marks very easily. Not a defect, just the nature of that smooth leather. Other than that, never had a issue :) x
@@DailyHelenJ thank you for information. great to hear that the quality is good. So I can treat myself to one of the bags 😉😉😉
Great video! My favorites are the silk Sollie midi dress from a couple years ago, the Will jacket and the Martin trousers, which I have in 3 different colors/materials and just fit me perfectly. I do love the Achilles sweater, I think it’s so warm and cozy and goes with everything (I have it in marled camel). Recently purchased the Brut Sexy jeans and while they fit well it’s not a special piece of clothing, I agree with you on that. Also have the Venice jeans now which I absolutely love!
The Martin trousers look lovely! I've always thought of them to be quite long, are you taller by any chance? :) Thank you for sharing + watching :)
I love the colour of your chloe tess bag but unfortunately can't find it anywhere ☹ it was prob a limited edition colour
Yes, it was a seasonal colour from 2-3 years ago now that I found in the sale section. Hopefully they bring something like this back x
Your observations are so on point and helpful. I couldn’t agree more especially on their shoes. Years ago I bought a few pairs, which, while beautiful in style, seriously lacked in quality and comfort. Was about to give them a second chance this spring and you’ve saved me the trouble! 😁 Thank you, and so glad you got the white Willa! 😍
Shame about their shoe quality, hopefully it's something they can improve on soon! Thank you for watching :) x
What about sezane bags?
I love the malo tee and mickey jumper! Mickey is a wool and polyamide blend but it is really soft and warm.
Thanks for sharing :) I find that even some blends are super soft and cosy - Micky looks like a beautiful style with the collar design :) x
I agree: the shoes are not good quality. I think they even look cheap.
Love your videos Helen! Always looking forward to new videos. Gorgeous Sezane collection as well.
Thank you Lily :) xx
Beautiful outfits
lo peor
I have had my eye on the Will Jacket for ages but I can’t decide which colour to get. I also find it difficult to work out the sizing. I never trust sizing charts. 😬 As long as the return policy from Australia is good, I should probably take the plunge and try it. I’m an AU10 5’10” with broad shoulders and long limbs, so Where I would normally buy a small from Australian brands, I tend to size up to medium for European and US brands. But they never go on sale. 🙁 Have you bought much from Everlane?
I think she stop purchasing from everlane due to the false ethical reasons claim by the brand
They do free returns from Australia which is great :) I have purchased a lot from Everlane in the past and have plenty of reviews on my channel/blog if you are interested :) x
Shamed of this brand for being predatory at worst and culturally insensitive at best.
Indigenous cultures in Mexico are treated like a display cabinet to pick and choose from. This brand reinforce “racist stereotypes” Stop exploiting Indigenous and Afro-Mexican people and communities as cultural capital.” They are not objects to sell clothing.
Your review is spot on in my opinion! I'm realizing smaller prints also tend to be more timeless and carry over well. Love your nail color btw!
This was helpful, like a good honest review and the attention to the quality of it!! I've been weary of getting some stuff because of the same questions you brought forward! Thanks!
Thank you so much! A bit hit and miss but there are definitely lovely pieces in the mix that are super high quality :)
