Sessùn: France’s 30-Year International Expansion Story

As the brand celebrates 30 years of successful business, it has developed a retail strategy that is well-rounded with the brand’s own stores, online presence, and wholesale. The company has achieved a significant 64% of its revenue through its boutiques, 19% through its online store, and 17% through wholesale. The boutiques across the globe, from Paris to Shanghai, offer a lifestyle statement through the brand’s focus on craftsmanship, natural materials, and cultural heritage.

Today, the company is able to generate close to half of its revenues from international markets with almost 100 points of sales across eight countries. The balance between design and heritage is seen in each store as the brand strives to reach out to the locals.
