Luxury pieces crafted for the woman who does it all. Dreamed up in SF. Handcrafted in Europe. INSPIRED BY WOMEN WHO DO IT ALL, SENREVE IS DERIVED FROM THE FRENCH WORDS FOR "SENSE" AND "DREAM". Our brand is built upon the coexistence of dichotomies: everyday and fantasy, tradition and innovation, design and versatility—creating an elevated experience that defies trade-offs. We believe women are multifaceted and can have it all—no compromise necessary. SENREVE was born when, as rising female professionals, we found ourselves in search of the perfect luxury handbag. We were seeking something that was beautiful and feminine, but also versatile enough to keep up with our everyday lives. However, we discovered most designer bags didn’t fully consider all of these needs, so we decided to take matters into our own hands. What we’ve created is a seamless blend of elegant design, impeccable quality and innovative construction. Our bags are sleek, structured and designed to carry your life in style. They're also lightweight, travel-friendly and just as appropriate for a business meeting as they are for happy hour or brunch.

The founding members of Wyze met when they were working at Amazon and they brought the core Amazon principles to us - it’s our goal to become the most customer-centric technology company. We’re passionate about providing customers high-quality products at great prices. Our first product, Wyze Cam, is the solution to a problem that one of our co-founders faced. He had been looking for a smart home camera to stay connected and protect his family with while on the road. He found that better-recognized brands were overpriced for their quality and cheaper ones were unreliable. We believe consumers deserve better than that and this led to the birth of Wyze Cam. But this is just the beginning. As we grow, we will continue to launch high quality, affordable tech products that enrich people’s lives and make great technology accessible to everyone.
