In the beginning, there was a woman: Emma François, born in the early seventies at Montpelier, a southern town on the french mediterranean coast. During her Masters in anthropology economics, she studied the role of textile crafts in sustainable development. This subject of studies enables her to discover technics of crafts in countries like Equator or Guatemala, a country where she brings back clothes embroidered and fashioned by craftsmen. Her alpaca pullovers or embroidered dresses are quickly adopted by shops where she suggests them, which drives her to launch herself in the handcraft import-export business in Marseille. After a few years in this activity and dozens of round-trips between South-America, Asia and Marseille, she decides to create her own clothes within her brand, Sessùn.
