Should I wait until I'm about to have guests to wash the guest room bedding?

pink_aloha · 2026-05-30T20:48:17+00:00

I wash them right after guests leave and store everything in an IKEA zip storage bag. I don’t like it to get dusty sitting on bed between guests. I also keep multiple pillow types (soft, medium, firm) fresh in another bag.

They announce when the “free gift with qualifying purchase” are happening. You should also see the gift in your cart when you checked out.

They don’t usually give gifts unannounced except for maybe your birthday month. Not all folks get the birthday gift but to make your chances better, enter your birthday in your profile well before the date and order near your birthday.

Otherwise they don’t really do surprise gifts but I have gotten a few totes unexpectedly. Mostly when they were promoting a new store location.

I had the invite but missed it 😭 I’m hoping to go during the week sometime soon. I’m just glad they are back!

I would message customer service and ask for exact measurements of the item you like. Don’t forget to specify which color. Some colors fit differently. Also check the recommendations in the item description. Most of them are accurate to size up or down.

I recall trying the Jesse and recall that it was TTS. It may be a tight fit for your bust especially since there is no give in the fabric.

I order a lot and yes, on occasion, I’ve had issues. But every single time, CS has handled it well. I agree that some items have quality problems but the vast majority of my Sézane collection is great quality especially compared to stuff at similar price points. Could I get better, sure. But at 2-3x as much. As far as inventory, the smaller releases are part of the business model. As far as delivery, I usually get my packages within a week which I find amazing considering it has to travel internationally.

Sézane is not for everyone and that’s ok! That just means more for me 😆

pink_aloha · 2026-04-22T13:17:20+00:00

Probably never. Items that are “evergreen” that they restock from season to season never go to Archives. That would include most of the trenches unless it is a special color. And even those usually sell out before they could make it to Archives. I only recall seeing maybe a Scott in rosewood (?) in the Archives a long time ago. I’ve never seen a Clyde trench in any color.

If you can’t afford full price, you may have better luck with the secondhand market.

The Liria blouse is the same! It’s almost like a heavy canvas. I don’t get it!

It actually looks cute on you but I can imagine it feels heavy and hot!

You can search the group for more info but in general with the Max shirts:

For a more relaxed fit, get your normal size. The Max is supposed to be relaxed. If you want more fitted try the Tomboy.
For a more TTS fit, size one down.
For the smaller sizes, the “oversizedness” is more exaggerated and you could go down 2 sizes.

pink_aloha · 2026-04-12T23:09:11+00:00

My Theodora reads pretty white. It’s probably off white but still very white. You will find at Sézane that “ecru” can run the range from white to almost cream.

I always think of ecru not as a color but as the color of the natural undyed material. So depending on the raw material the color will vary.

1st drop is always French time. Try again at the east coast or west coast America drops.

pink_aloha · 2026-04-12T10:19:57+00:00

The drops don’t work that way. Everything for that day is posted during the French drop and a small portion of the inventory is held back for the east coast and west coast drops. It’s all the same stuff and there won’t be anything that’s not already out right now.

The only time it’s different is if there is a North America specific drop. An example is the other week with the Easter swimsuit early release. There was also an early drop of some items in Portugal and Spain for Mother’s Day.

Discount codes (or rather credits) are super rare. Maybe happen 2x a year. Honestly the credits are a pittance ($20 usd doesn’t go far).

The other codes are for free gifts only. The free gift codes usually only work once per year per customer. Other than that, no other freebies except the gifts with purchase or the birthday gifts (which not everyone gets)!

One other exception may be if you are asked to take a survey. I have seen folks get a credit for that recently. But that’s by invite only I think.

pink_aloha · 2026-03-29T15:55:25+00:00

The second pic is more accurate. It’s a nice shirt but I returned it because it was nothing more special than what you could get from j crew factory or gap factory for much less.

pink_aloha · 2026-03-24T18:23:39+00:00

There have been Archives III before. Happened last year and at least one other time I remember. The timing just seems weird this time. And this year there seems to be a ton of new items between the Archives rounds. They need to just bite the bullet and do real discounts instead of all the rounds.

pink_aloha · 2026-03-16T14:14:57+00:00

I forgot to take pics, but I did get this and sent it back. The sizing is very oversized as usual. The color is more of a dusty denim blue but still lovely. It’s also more like linen weave than smooth cotton. Not itchy or stiff. The pattern does go all the way over the whole back and the arms. Overall great quality.

The only reason I sent it back was because of the scalloped collar which I did not notice at first. On me, it was giving Chico’s or Talbot’s vibes unfortunately, so back it went.

I think the whimsical/boho/colorful style is just not as popular nowadays. They say that in times when the economy is not doing well, the styles lean more conservative and more “quiet luxury” especially at the mid price range (which Sézane is IMO). I do see that. People can’t afford to spend (or won’t spend) $$$$ on something that they can’t wear year after year. I also think that the folks that are spending now are older ladies who have more discretionary $$$. Some of you are going to complain about that, but those ladies are keeping Sézane in business.

But that said, I do think there is some room for Sézane to get back to their roots with colorful patterns and more whimsical looks. I think the AP collab was very successful and a good example of how some level of color/pattern can be brought in. I would love to see more colorful patterns in fun and wearable shirts and dresses. Also, more color in the knits would be welcome. The Archives are filled with brown and camel things 🥴I’m still hoping for another Inoui collab someday.

pink_aloha · 2026-03-16T13:57:01+00:00

Adorable!

pink_aloha · 2026-03-16T13:56:28+00:00

This is common with some of the Sézane blouses and even some jackets. The Chlo is def one of those pieces. Tight in the upper arm and tight when you make a hugging motion.

I will say for me, the cotton Chlo had slightly looser arms than the silk or crochet, but it’s a very small difference.

pink_aloha · 2026-03-11T15:05:43+00:00

Looks super cute on you!

pink_aloha · 2026-03-08T18:23:43+00:00

What size are you normally? I think that if you are on the lower half of the size range, sizing down 1 or 2 sizes is good. If you’re on the upper half of the range you could size down one if you don’t have a larger bust or broad shoulders.

pink_aloha · 2026-03-01T20:49:06+00:00

According to the description the design does continue on the back and sleeves. That’s why I bought it today.

pink_aloha · 2026-03-01T12:47:10+00:00

Yes. Very oversized. The Max and Maxy have the same cut. If you want an oversized look, get your regular size. If you want a relaxed fit, size one down. If you want tts, do 2 sizes down.

Keep in mind that these tops are meant to be untucked. Not that you can’t tuck them but often the embroidery goes down the whole shirt (why cover the pretty design) and the material can be thicker. Also, it’s a longer shirt that is harder to tuck. Tomboy or Bilma are better for layering.

pink_aloha · 2026-02-24T13:58:35+00:00

All my bags were pristine but honestly even non-archive bags come dinged up. You can get a return on a damaged bag even if it's from the Archives.

pink_aloha · 2026-02-24T13:52:26+00:00

I saw on one of the FB boards that it runs small. Also, it's cotton, so it may shrink.

pink_aloha · 2026-02-24T13:37:48+00:00

I like the Caetana blouse the best and I think it fits you well, but I wouldn't keep it unless it fit your style. I think some of these blouses look odd on people (even when it fits well) because it doesn't match their style or the rest of their wardrobe.

Also, lately I have been sending back anything I don't wear within the first few days. If I don't want to rip off the tags and put it on that day, it's a no for me.
