Sezane is one of my favorite shops to go to for fashion items but this French brand also has a stunning selection of items for your home.

Sezane is one of my favorite brands and their collaboration with Pangea (also French) is amazing. Unfortunately this collection is selling out very fast. But if you have your eye on one of their items then here is a tip: the website is restocked (with returns) every Wednesday and Sunday at around 9:30am (CET time).

In today’s industrialized world, handmade goods made by artisans have lost their significance and have been replaced by cheaper machine-made mass-produced goods. Luckily there’s a growing movement towards handmade products that celebrate the art of craftsmanship. I myself prefer to use handmade objects in my home.
