The story

Ysé (trade name of L'Impertinente, SAS) is a Parisian DTC fashion brand focused on lingerie, swimwear and ready-to-wear for women. The brand operates primarily through its e-commerce site with a small number of physical stores in France. Its embedded finance footprint is minimal and merchant-facing: the company uses Defacto for working-capital or invoice-financing needs on the B2B side. No BaaS, payroll or card-issuing programmes are in evidence.
