So... all of this is giving COS.

I am sorry, not saying they look bad, the photos and products are stunning. But why would I shop at Sezane now if COS and Arket are giving me pretty much the same vibe?

Is it the quality? I mean they increased their prices I hope they increased the quality too. (you'd think)

Hi,

I keep seeing this skirt in the Archives every now and then and it looks interesting but Silver Leather? I am wondering if that's a recipe for disaster because I figure it's hard to fix if it gets even slightly damaged.

Hi,

Recently got to try Ron top in both black and ecru+black pattern and the Annira shirt.

I can see what people meant that Ron top doesn't have a pleasant feel against the skin for everyone. It is quite stiff and a little rough but I didn't want that to be the sole reason for a return. On top of all it is not bust friendly at all. Initially I ordered an XL which us my usual size and the arm holes were massive, sized down to L and the armholes were better but the bust felt was too small that I'd have to adjust often... so... yeah... I really liked them just not for me.

One thing to mention is that even though I tried the same size in both colors, they'd fit completely different, the Ecru one would sit flat at the sides more than the black one, but the black one would show gaping less.

Annira on the other hand(size 44) is really good quality, just not really for me, I got it in bottle green, it just didn't feel very feminine for me, it could be the collar itself that's doing that. The trim along the placket isn't as revealing as I was worried, it's actually acceptable, but again, not the most bust friendly.

I just wanted to share since I feel like the archives will end soon and whether someone decides to buy them.

I've been wanting this Chlo for a while and it got shifted out of the collection with the announcement of a rebrand...

But now I found out it's still purchasable in the US and the photoshoot image is using one of the new models now?

I wonder if it will re-release in Europe...

At first I was like "I am definitely getting this if it ever shows up in the Archives" during the 20 years of Archives ad.

Now it finally showed up and as I had it in my cart I was thinking "Wait... where do I even wear this?"

Don't get me wrong it's really pretty but you must have a really interesting life to make it work... my life is boring so I can't rock it.

Hi,

I've seen a few(like 3) split opinions on these trouser, I've been considering them but I haven't pulled the trigger.

Does anyone own them? It says theyre 74 cm/29 inch length which is kind of the limit for me generally, I am 165 cm/5'5 and I am wondering if these will be long on me...

The color is stunning, very statementy and I have seen 2 pictures of it on real people, what holds me back is mostly the length..

Hi,

I don't really post myself on here, I am quite self conscious but this Sezane haul I felt a bit more confident. This will be long because I am a yapper so if you are also a passionate yapper this might kill your patience.

For context I am 5'5(165cm) more on the curvier side, and if it helps anyone I am a 34C for bras (UK size)

Trying: Felix Jumper(Leopard), Corentin Trousers, Marinette Shirt, Curly Blouse and bonus Romie Bag.

1. Felix Jumper: I will be honest I own 2 of these already so this isn't about the fit, more so about the print. I own nothing Leopard Print and I prefer Leopard for cold weather rather than warm weather so this is how this piece got chosen. I was surprised how much I liked it, specially with the Corentin, I thought of all items this would be the riskiest one but on the contrary I think it was the safest.

Size: XXL(I sized up here compared to my other Felixes bcs judging by the size advice it felt as if this pafticular print ran smaller than the others and I don't think I regret it)

2. Corentin Trousers: Unless I feel like going to the tailor for a special Sezane trouser hemming, I only pick their cropped trousers(68-74 cm length max).

Previously I tried Emilio in Virgin Wool and while I liked them, I could feel the scratch and itch of the wool thru the lining. These are an upgrade from that, as they are a wool blend, and while they are unlined I feel fine in them, only feel the awareness of the wool rather than being scratched by it.

Fit wise... I LOVE them??? These are probably the best fitting Sezane bottoms I have tried. And trust me I tried a few... skirts, jeans, trousers, shorts... there's always something that bothers me with Sezane bottoms and this pair had none of that. Also belt hoops are almost a non negociable for me for trousers. Also I usually avoid wide leg trousers because they widen my frame, but these are mostly wide in the ankle so that's different.

Size: 42(Normally I am a 44 but this style specifically mentions to size down and I think it's correct)

3. Marinette Shirt: I have been eyeing the lace Chlo and the Rym shirt for a while so I decided to give this one a try because it's in the Archives AND all the details are cotton, rather than polyester.

I like it, again, I think it works with Corentin, which I like. Only thing I am a bit worried about this blouse is the shoulders, I am worried it's widening them because of the slight puff. I am leaning on keeping this.

Size: XXL/44 (Sezane recommends sizing down if but I often ignore that with button ups because of the chest gaping, it happens to me a lot when I listen to their advice)

4. Curly Blouse: This item I was probably most excited about in the entire haul, and it disappointed me the most. The fabric composition is excellent but there's something about it that makes me feel old, like the age of my grandma(sorry grandma). It could be the print, it could be the neckline, it could be the sleeves even all at once. I am going to be 28 in a week most people would slap me if I said I am old. Leaning return atm.

Size: 40/L (I am usually a 40-42 in non-button up tops and jumpers).

5. Romie bag: Not much to say here, I like the vibe, it has no closure so you gotta rely on the straps to keep it closed. Color is nice, it's an archives bag so it could have defects I haven't inspected it like a hawk yet.

That's all. Also sorry if the pics aren't the best lighting or if I don't pose very well :(

A really close friend of mine is getting married around October/November and I have been eyeing this dress since archives.

​

For context the wedding is a bit more traditional eastern european vibe. It will have a church part which will prob require covering shoulders for this specific style, but it will be chilly so a jacket/coat will be needed anyway.

​

But apart from that, I wonder if it works and looks fancy enough.

​

Also, does anyone have it?

I ordered this set thinking I could own a piece of Sezane that's a bit more exclusive because it never went live.

But oh boy I think I know why they never sold these pieces...

The jacket is WILD, I don't normally have broad shoulders but this jacket made them huge and I felt even insecure about it. You'd have to have really narrow shoulders. Sizing down most likely won't fix this.

The skirt runs large imo. Malia normally runs smaller from what I've seen and quilted skirts are usually stiff but this one was larger than I expected.

Color wise I'd say the green is spot on, but the pink is much less vibrant.

As a set... this is giving mature woman, maybe Queen of England. It looks expensive and cheap at the same time I don't know how to explain it.

The jacket alone? You probably can't make it work with anything because of how dramatic the frame it creates.

The skirt alone? This one has some potential but I feel like the print is way too specific that people will remember easily when you wear it casually.

Overall, this looks good in the photoshoot, but in real life... as much as it is unique it is also unflattering.

I am sad this set didn't work, I loved the colors, but now I understand why this set may have not come out.
