Company mission
SSENSE's mission is moving culture forward.
21% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Luxury fashion has taken well to eCommerce, but it can be difficult for a brand to stand out in the crowded online market. SSENSE, a Montreal-based luxury fashion retailer, manages this with a history of projects and services pushing the boundaries of the industry.
The company’s driving vision is to be a “cultural protagonist”. That means collaborating with brands large and small, lavishly produced cultural events, and a now-iconic photography style for its catalogue.
SSENSE is now looking to accelerate its growth globally. A big part of that vision is going after the rapidly growing $100B Chinese luxury market.
The challenge for SSENSE is going to be replicating its relevance in China. While the retailer has made a real name for itself in North America and Europe, it will need to localise its offering to compete with the emerging brands shaking up the Chinese market.
