The founders of Officine Universelle Buly on preserving heritage secrets and practices. 

- CELINE MALLARI

THE EVERYDAY CONSUMER HAS GR AVITATED TOWARD THE SLOW: brands and products that take the time to inject care into their craft and creations, rather than simply churning out what’s commercially-viable. Values surrounding diversity, cultural inclusivity, and regard for environmental impact are quickly becoming essential considerations for any business, especially within the sphere of fashion and beauty.

One such example is Officine Universelle Buly. The brand that has long championed these ethics, having become a pioneer for heritage cosmetics and traditional skincare since its revival in 2014.

Walk into any Buly store around the world and you’ll find yourself transported to the 19th century. Glass and aluminum bottles boast artful illustrations that harken back to the era’s aesthetics. The store’s packaging mindfully excludes plastic from the mix, not just as a commitment to the time period, but to reducing impact and waste.
