Sales Assistant specialized in Visual Merchandiser - Permanent - London (M/F)
Sézane · London
Twenty years ago, Les Composantes began with a selection of vintage pieces, born from a desire for creative independence and an eye for detail. That instinct and an appreciation for design that endures have shaped everything that followed.
From there, Sézane was born in Paris in 2013. Since then, la famille has continued to grow, with Octobre Éditions for men, Les Composantes reimagined as a home and lifestyle destination, and Petit Sézane for children.
Our story has unfolded like life itself: through instinct, spontaneity, and learning. We developed a singular approach to detail, service, and connection. A way of imagining a Parisian wardrobe for real life, first online and later through our Appartements. From day one, we have been guided by a commitment to making beautiful design accessible, without ever compromising on quality.
Sezane is a playground where every day is unlike any other, your position today may no longer be the same as yesterday and probably not the same as tomorrow. Does this speak to you? Write to us!
