Does Sezane do sales?
Short answer: Yes, sort of. They’re called the “Archives.”
If you’re here looking for an answer to this question right after Christmas, rest assured: Sézane does do sales. But it typically does not have a traditional Sezane Boxing Day sale or Sezane Black Friday promotion (see more about the latter here) — at least not since 2020, when its winter sale started on December 26.
What you’re looking for is instead the opening of the Archives (what Sezane calls its big, twice-a-year sale) for the previous season, and this has typically come in December or January — lately, toward the end of January. The Summer Archives have always premiered in June.
In 2024, the Winter Archives opened on January 24, with a preview email sent on January 23. In 2023, it was January 18, with the preview sent on January 17. For inter 2021, the Archives showed up in two parts: December 27 and “Act II” on January 13. (For whatever reason, I don’t have a record of the Winter Archives for 2022.) And for winter 2020, the two acts debuted on December 26 and then on January 2.
For the Summer Archives: June 16, 2021; June 19, 2022, with Act 2 on June 29; June 25, 2023; and June 23, 2024.
Sezane sales usually last four weeks, with many pieces selling out on Day 1 and occasional, if not reliable, replenishments. These dates correspond roughly, but not perfectly, with the French “soldes” in January and June.
We’ll see when the Sezane winter sale starts for 2025 — but be sure to sign up for their newsletter, as they typically send a preview 24 hours in advance — or just subscribe to my Sézane-specific newsletter!
If you’re new to the Sezane sale Archives: They’re well worth it, And it’s 100% worth getting up at 3 AM ET for the sale’s start at 9 AM CEST, French time — things will absolutely sell out before we wake up here in the U.S. Jewelry, coats, and bags go very fast.
In short: Does Sezane do sales? Yes, but maybe not when we expect them to. If you’re looking for ways to save money on Sézane, though, there are lots of other ways to do it. To get you started: Here are 8 good dupes (and four strategies) for getting the look for less.
