| Place of origin |
The slick and functional packaging of Ruby & Millie cosmetics reflects the professional background of the company's founders: Ruby Hammer and Millie Kendall, both of whom worked as make-up artists. While aimed at the high street and thus inexpensively packaged, the brand attempts to emulate the luxury end of the market, with its shiny finishes and minimalist logo.
