French women are buying these four items for summer

If you’re looking for the most quintessentially Parisian store there is, thenSézane is it. So, if you’re also wondering how French women are styling themselves this summer, all you need to look at is what they’re buying here – and my sources there tell me there are four specific items that keep selling out. Literally within hours or days.
But first off, there’s on thing you need to know about French style: it’s not about following trends. Sézane founder Morgane explains, "We always want to create pieces that can be transmitted infinitely. Our collections can be worn every day but also for every occasion in life.. we will always favour quality over quantity and difference by creating many references each season, to dress all women."
