With L’Appartement Madison, the Parisian B Corp-certified brand has officially made its debut on the Upper East Side, marking its third location in New York, with stores in Nolita and Williamsburg.
Inside the glass-front shop, a light, leathery scent permeated the air, mingling with a hint of perfume and plush carpeting to create an environment that felt airy and fresh—nothing short of chic.
The new address is intended as more than just a physical shopping destination, according to Sézane.
“It brings together the artists, objects, and ideas that shape Sézane, creating a dialogue between Saint-Germain-des-Prés and the Upper East Side: two neighborhoods united by an enduring sense of style and culture,” the brand said in a press release.
After visiting, The Sectional can confirm that the intent to bring together art and fashion is clear. The space was designed in collaboration with Pierre Lacroix, a Saint-Germain-des-Prés-based interior design studio, with the idea of blending the style of a gallery and a Parisian home.
In addition to Sézane’s fall 2026 offerings, the shop boasts stacks of books, vintage furniture and work created by William Klein, a Franco-American photographer. Characterized by hardwood floors, thick rugs, a wall of carefully folded sweaters and a plush fitting room area, the store is simply beautiful.

It’s worth a visit even just to take in the space and the gorgeous, versatile clothing that fills its racks, though it’s hard not to shop. We couldn’t help but indulge in a small purchase ourselves during our first visit, though plenty of items jumped out to add to our wishlist.
L’Appartement Madison is open daily, Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. We’ll certainly be back to shop through the seasons.
