KAFRZAYAT, Alexandria/Egypt (Editor): Le standard du savon c’est le savon “Standard”. (Original illustrated product packaging for the historical french-egyptian soap “Standard”). Alexandria: KAFRZAYAT. [ca. 1930-1950]. (ca. 20,4 x 15,8 cm). 1 leaf. (French / Arabic Language). Original product packaging with coloured illustration and advertising text to front cover. Packaging with signs of use. Appropriate to its age and function still in good condition.

Historical product packaging for the french-arabic soap “Standard”. The company KAFRZAYAT presumably was based in Alexandria (Egypt). The packaging is illustrated (a young woman) and the advertising text on it written in french and arabic language. Probably the soap was traded in the years from 1930 on. In the text it says: “Cinquante longues annees de recherches, d’etudes, d’essais par des chimistes experts, ayant a leur disposition des laboratoires les plus modernes, ont donné le “Standard”. […] C’est un product “KAFRZAYAT”. Very interesting piece of french-arabic beauty economy and marketing history!
