Sephora shopping bag

Sephora is a globally recognized beauty retailer that originated in France. Known for its signature black-and-white striped shopping bags, the brand serves as a premier destination for cosmetics, skincare, fragrance, and hair care products. While the brand is French, its retail packaging, such as the paper shopping bags, is manufactured across multiple countries depending on the regional supply chain requirements for its thousands of stores worldwide.

Founded in the 1970s, Sephora has grown into a retail powerhouse. Since 1997, it has been a key subsidiary of the French luxury conglomerate LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). This ownership has allowed Sephora to expand its reach significantly, operating in dozens of countries and maintaining a strong presence in both physical retail and e-commerce. The brand continues to be headquartered in Paris, France, under the ultimate ownership of LVMH.
