Vintage Caprice des Dieux Metal Keychain Retro Advertising Cheese
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This old advertising keychain features the iconic "Caprice des Dieux" brand. The visible side presents a rectangular plate with rounded corners, inserted into a metallic-looking frame, with a transparent surface revealing a colorful visual. The central graphic faithfully reproduces a box of Caprice des Dieux cheese, accompanied by the inscription "Caprice des dieux" in yellow letters and "un amour de fromage" (a love of cheese) in red, as well as "UN AMOUR DE FROMAGE" on a red band. The whole evokes the typical design of promotional items from the 1970s to the 1980s, with a clean graphic style and bold colors.
The upper part of the keychain is equipped with a circular metal ring, connected to the plate by a short chain with visible links. The appearance of the plate suggests it is made of rigid transparent plastic, protecting the printed visual. No major defects are observable on the photographed side; the transparency clearly shows the advertising motif, which remains legible and bright despite a slight patina due to age.
The background of the advertising motif is white, highlighting the brand's blue and gold oval logo. The keychain displays a distinctly retro style, characteristic of promotional items distributed by French food brands during the second half of the 20th century. The typography and graphic charter are perfectly representative of the Caprice des Dieux universe, easily recognizable by vintage design and local product enthusiasts.
This keychain stands out for its compact shape and its advertising visual faithful to the brand. The metal attachment ring and chain feature a classic silver finish, typical of advertising accessories from this period. No marking or signature other than the main visual is visible on the side shown.
Condition
Used item sold as is. Some traces of patina or micro-scratches from use may be present, without affecting the legibility of the motif or the robustness of the whole. The visible side shows no cracks or apparent chips.
Did you know? The Caprice des Dieux brand was launched in France in 1956 and quickly established itself as a symbol of creamy soft cheese in an oval blue and gold packaging.

Usage and display
Ideal for attaching to a key ring or displaying on a desk, this retro keychain can also serve as a decorative element in a kitchen or on a shelf dedicated to old advertising objects.
