What are Kelly Rutherford’s favourite Parisian brands?
Kelly Rutherford, aka Lily van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, swears by Parisian clothing brands.
Sézane
In 2023 Sézane celebrated its 10th anniversary! A decade marked by success and now emblematic pieces, such as the essential petites mailles. The brand’s boutiques, designed as apartments where people like to lose themselves, and its ethical approach also contribute to its success.
Although the brand doesn’t communicate much on the subject, all pieces are certified eco-responsible and reasonably produced to avoid overstocking. Add to that affordable prices, and you have a recipe for success for this French brand founded by Morgane Sézalory .

Sister
At the head of this family adventure are Domitille and Angélique Brion, a duo of sisters driven by the desire to dress all women, whatever their generation. For Sœur, they design collections that are delicate and comfortable, but above all incredibly chic.
Inspired by the men’s wardrobe, they reinvent essentials with a unique touch. Elegant blouses, tailored jackets, long coats, perfectly cut jeans, sophisticated bags and accessories…

Balzac Paris
Founded in 2014 by a trio of entrepreneurs, Chrysoline, Charles and Victorien, Balzac Paris is a brand with the ambition to shake up the lines of fashion. It asserts its status as an ethical brand by promoting human values throughout its ecosystem. It works with committed players to minimize their environmental impact through virtuous and innovative actions.
Balzac Paris pieces are not just timeless and timeless. They are designed to be loved, worn and passed on from woman to woman. They’re also designed to never lose style or quality. Every purchase becomes an eco-responsible gesture. And elegance is combined with a deep commitment to the planet.

Polene
Founded in 2016 by 3 siblings, French fashion house Polène creates leather goods collections combining minimalism and creative exploration. Each piece is distinguished by singular, emblematic shapes, the fruit of excellent craftsmanship. In the Paris studio, designers and prototypists come up with leather goods with a pure, timeless style. They are thus marked by a strong creative imprint.
The apparent suppleness and lightness of these models are the result of complex technical development. The leather, sourced exclusively from certified Italian and Spanish tanneries, is meticulously sculpted to create organic shapes, elegant folds, draping effects or sophisticated braiding.

Carel
Carel has a unique relationship with its customers… As if the house had always been part of their daily lives. For 70 years, this special connection has accompanied the brand through time. And yes, Carel has captured the hearts of women from the start.
The company designs iconic models that combine discretion and elegance, and are built to last. Strappy babies, ballerinas and ankle boots have become wardrobe staples.
