Sézane grew from an eBay vintage shop into a B Corp-certified label with 20 boutiques. It's still founder-majority owned, but General Atlantic, a global PE firm, holds a 35% stake.
The Big Picture
Sézane is founder-majority owned, B Corp certified at 96.2, and has raised over €45 million for children's education through its DEMAIN program — an unusually substantive record for a fashion brand. But Good On You still rates it 'Not Good Enough,' finding no living-wage evidence for the people making the clothes, and General Atlantic's 35% stake ties growth to an investor timeline. The certification is real; the wage question underneath it is unanswered.
