About the brand
Sensée Paris, the linen lingerie that feels good! Sensée Paris offers a fine range of lingerie and accessories made from French organic linen, entirely manufactured in France, to take care of bodies and the environment. The goal is to create pieces that combine sense, health, and sensuality. "The light that led me to develop Sensée is my grandmother. This woman full of love, who when ill, listened to and followed what could be good or not for her health. I observed how complex it was to be consistent everywhere. How health and pleasure could seem so far apart. How much giving love to yourself and others could change things. And how uninformed we were. My desire for consistency and awareness comes from there."
Léa Magnani, Founder of Sensée.
The choice of linen for the products stems from its ability to offer comfort and health benefits. Breathable and hypoallergenic, this natural material is ideal for the sensitive and damp areas of the body. By prioritizing linen, the brand embraces a zero-waste and local approach, in line with its values of sustainability and respect for the environment. Their commitment to linen goes beyond its health benefits. They source from local producers (Normandy), thus promoting a sustainable approach to production and reducing their carbon footprint. All their products are made in France, organic, and above all, sensible.
The eco-responsible impact
Sensée Paris is an ethical and committed brand for several reasons: First, the use of organic French linen fiber, a local, zero-waste, and non-GMO fiber, which is one of the most ancient and resistant fibers. This fiber absorbs CO2 every year and France is the world's leading producer. This fiber has many health benefits. Indeed, it is a breathable, hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and above all, long-lasting fiber.
A little anecdote: it is thanks to linen that we say "LINdredress" and "LINdredress" (lingerie), because the first pieces of lingerie were made from linen. The brand chose to use 100% organic linen jersey, without synthetic blends: easier to recycle and above all healthier for intimate hygiene and skin comfort. Producing exclusively in France guarantees good working conditions in their workshop, fair pay, and limits CO2 emissions.
Sensée is also committed to health issues. Indeed, they organize awareness round tables on health topics to bring together health professionals from conventional medicine and brief therapies. These round tables are free and accessible to everyone. Sensée Paris is a vision where health and daily life are one. It's Sensé, isn't it?
The big pluses
Sensée Paris does not have a label. But their suppliers and workshops do: Oeko-Tex for non-toxic textiles, GOTS for organic textiles, European Flax and Masters of Linen for quality and traceable European linen, and Agriculture Biologique for organic and local production.
