Cool little bio below on Sessun's founder, Emma Francois. I love the bold and beautiful colors and graphic design. The label got started catering to artists at music festivals. Sessun is based in Marseilles.
Here's to sunny days!

It all started with a trip to Latin America. Emma Francois was 22 and studying economic anthropology when she first visited South America and fell passionately in love with its stunning culture and craftsmanship. The right materials and expertise were to follow. When she came back to Paris, she found herself designing small items in crochet and pure wool, made entirely by craftspeople in the Latin mountains.
The raw materials worked well with the feminine shapes inspired by a familiar urban culture, and the combination was seductive. People loved the idea, and she decided to set her books aside and devote herself full time to the new venture. Sessun was created at the end of 1995. A turning point came in 1998.
