At a time when the boundaries between beauty, design and jewellery are becoming increasingly fluid, Temyris introduces a new idea of the daily ritual: not simply make-up to carry with you, but a precious, functional object designed to last. The French maison has built its identity around the beauty minaudière, a 3-in-1 accessory that brings together lipstick, compact powder with mirror and a perfume atomiser in a single handbag-sized case.
Conceived as a jewel, the Temyris minaudière looks to the tradition of precious accessories from the early twentieth century and translates it into a contemporary language, designed for a nomadic, sophisticated woman with an eye for the quality of an object. The brand describes it as a talisman for the “Amazons of the 21st century”: an image that brings together strength, femininity and everyday ritual.
At the heart of the project lies the meeting point between French craftsmanship, precious materials and refillable make-up. The minaudières are made with details in 24-carat gold-plated brass, semi-precious stones and finishes that recall the worlds of jewellery and luxury watchmaking. Among the decorative elements cited by the maison are malachite, lapis lazuli, red jasper, obsidian, tiger’s eye and mother-of-pearl, transforming each piece into a small collector’s object.
The beauty element follows the same logic of permanence: the lipsticks are interchangeable, the powders are refillable and the atomiser can be filled with the fragrance of choice. The cosmetic formulas are produced in France and, according to the brand, contain at least 95% and up to 100% ingredients of natural origin.
