The Socialite Family

What The Socialite Family does

The Socialite Family is a privately held French furniture and home décor brand founded in 2013, headquartered in Paris, and structured as a SAS. It designs and sells furniture, lighting, window treatments, rugs, and decorative accessories through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform built on Shopify, complemented by two physical boutiques in Paris and Lyon. Products are conceived by an in-house Paris creative studio under the artistic direction of co-founder Constance Gennari and manufactured on a made-to-order basis by artisan workshops located primarily in Italy, France, Portugal, and the Czech Republic, with notable partnerships including heritage rug maker Pinton (operating since 1867) and Italian travertine specialists.

The company's go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer, driven by an editorial content strategy featuring real families in their homes, supported by active social media presence on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and weekly email newsletters. A secondary B2B Professional Program targets architects, interior designers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, and real estate developers with project pricing, customization, and dedicated logistics. International fulfillment is supported by white-glove delivery across the EU and select US shipping, with payment infrastructure integrating Adyen, Alma 3x installments, Fintecture, and PayPal.

Revenue is generated principally through one-time product sales, with individual price points ranging from approximately €55 for cushions to over €6,000 for dining tables and €5,850 for entry-level sofas. The company is owned and operated by its two co-founders, Constance Gennari and Marianne Gosset, with no disclosed external institutional, private equity, or venture capital investors. Reported share capital is €139,515, and no consolidated revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed.
