SSENSE (pronounced: "essence") is a multi-brand retailer based in Montreal, Canada specialising in the sale of designer fashion and high end streetwear. It was founded as an e-commerce platform in 2003 by three brothers: Rami, Bassel and Firas Atallah. The company delivers to 114 countries around the world and operates websites in Chinese, French, English, Japanese and Korean.[1][2][3][4][5]
History
[edit]SSENSE was founded in 2003 by brothers Firas, Rami and Bassel Atallah.[6]
The company opened a physical store in Montreal in 2004 and a warehouse and corporate headquarters in 2005. The online store followed in 2006.[7]
By the early 2020s, Ssense was discussed as an important online fashion store, which made decisions by analysing large volumes of data rather than relying on professional buyers anticipating trends.[8] [9]
On April 5, 2018, SSENSE acquired community-based fashion and art website Polyvore from Yahoo, immediately shutting it down.[10]
In May 2018, SSENSE opened a flagship retail store in a historic 19th century building in Montreal turned into an experiential retail space by architecture firm David Chipperfield. The 5-story building within a building includes a cafe, art space and a floor dedicated to a personal-shopper-guided online-offline hybrid, which is accessible by appointment only.[11][12]
In June 2021 SSENSE received minority investment from Sequoia Capital that valued the company at over $4 billion USD.[13]
In December 2022, SSENSE was the target of a cyber attack where confidential employee data was compromised. SSENSE failed to notify past employees of the data breach as well as government officials.[14]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
