About Sézane.

Founded in 2013 by Morgane Sézalory as a purely digital brand, Sézane pioneered the direct-to-consumer model in French fashion with curated monthly collections released online. The brand’s first physical “Appartement” boutique opened in 2015 on Rue Saint-Fiacre in Paris, creating an intimate shopping experience designed like a Parisian apartment. Now with 11 permanent stores across France and Spain, Sézane remains committed to responsible fashion—sourcing 75% sustainably certified materials and partnering with DEMAIN, their philanthropic program supporting women’s education worldwide.

Frequently asked questions.

Can I get VAT refund on Sézane online purchases?

No. VAT refunds are only available for in-store purchases made in Europe. Online orders shipped internationally are already VAT-exempt.

Do I need to show my Sézane purchase at customs?

High-value items (typically over €1,000) may require physical inspection at customs. Keep your purchase in carry-on luggage, not checked bags.

What if I'm connecting through a non-EU airport?

You must validate your VAT refund at your last EU point of departure, not your final destination.

How long does it take to get my refund?

With TravelMoney, refunds are processed instantly once validated at customs. Standard tax-free services can take 4-12 weeks.
