About Lumicosm
An independent maison curating thirty cosmetics houses.
Why a smaller shop
Lumicosm was opened in Bremen in MMXIII as a small atelier. The remit was modest: carry only what the buyers themselves wear, and never more brands than the maison can visit each year. Eleven years on, the shelf has grown to thirty houses. The remit has not changed.
Lumicosm was opened in Bremen in MMXIII as a small atelier. We carry brands we have visited in person, founders we know by name, and formulas we wear ourselves.
“We chose to grow slowly because every piece on the shelf has been visited by someone here. We do not know how to do it any other way.”— Margerite Stern · Founder
