Sessùn takes a new step in its international journey with the opening of its very first boutique in China, right in the heart of Shanghai. Nestled on the third floor of REEL Mall, along the iconic Nanjing Road in the vibrant Jing’an district, this 98m² space embodies the brand’s spirit — a place of inspiration, passage, and discovery, true to its core values of authenticity and transmission.

Conceived as a refined and sensorial haven, the store design was entrusted to Maeva Henninot and Capucine Guhur, winner of the Sessùn Craft Prize 2023. Together, they imagined a boutique where natural materials meet mineral textures in a subtle, organic dialogue. Stone pedestals, tiled walls, textured wood, and architectural curves compose a scenography that feels both contemporary and inviting.

The façade, punctuated by cubist, matte-finished arches, opens with quiet elegance onto a bright and calming interior. At its heart, a raw stone counter anchors the space with softness. Around it, airy racks rest on stone blocks in a perfectly balanced composition. The palette — warm woods, soft ochres, light beiges and earthy pinks — infuses the space with a handcrafted and inspired atmosphere.

With this new opening, Sessùn continues its mission to create unique spaces designed to welcome, share and celebrate craftsmanship. A living space that fully embodies the brand’s commitment to meaningful, beautiful fashion.

Now present in more than 54 boutiques and 37 corners around the world, Sessùn reaffirms its dedication to the values that have shaped it since the beginning: curiosity, openness, and a deep love for artisanal work.

Having become a "Société à Mission" in 2023 and certified B Corp in 2024, Sessùn integrates this new project into a global and responsible vision. Every choice — from architecture to furnishings, down to the selection of partners — reflects a constant commitment: to create positive impact, elevate artisanal skills, and celebrate global cultures with sincerity and intention.
