Due to the end of the licensing agreement, Sonia Rykiel’s beauty line, Sonia Rykiel Beauté, will be officially discontinued on December 31st.

Here is the official statement from Sonia Rykiel Beauté’s official website (in Japanese and English):

The line’s products will still be available until March 31st, 2015. However, if you plan to purchase any of the line’s products in Japan or Singapore (where they are currently available), please do check the lists of Japanese and global retail points. (The list of global retail points includes duty-free stores at airports in Japan.) There is information on specific closing dates of individual retail points.

It is always a little sad to see a beauty line being discontinued. Even though I only own a couple of products from Sonia Rykiel, I like the line and I have followed its seasonal releases with interest. (Some of the recent highlights include Coffret de Noël from holiday 2011 and the Disney Daisy Duck collaboration from fall 2012.)

Will the line ever come back? Possibly (if Sonia Rykiel plans to look for a new licensee in the future), but maybe not in the next few years. In the meantime, I will remain hopeful.
