The item is distinguished by its individual beige paper\/crepe sachet packaging, featuring graphics typical of the 80s-90s: a stylized logo with a starry motif and blue-green waves, accompanied by the inscriptions \"ANDREA\" and \"DERIO (BIZKAIA)\" in dark blue capital letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sachet has a ribbed finish on the side edges, a characteristic signature of hotel amenity soaps from that period. The logo and text print are clear, with no visible discoloration, which indicates good preservation of the packaging. The whole offers a retro visual, very representative of hotel products from the late 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the bottom of the visible side is the list of ingredients, printed in English: Sodium tallowate, Sodium cocoate, Glycerin, Parfum (Fragrance), Sodium chloride, CI… (the rest partially obscured). This detail confirms the professional use of the soap for tourist accommodation, while adding a touch of authenticity to the item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape of the soap, discernible through the packaging, appears rectangular with rounded edges, a classic for amenity soaps. The packaging is intact, with no apparent opening or tearing, although slight traces of handling or storage may be observed on the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Andrea hotel soap is a tangible testament to a bygone era of hospitality, where each establishment customized its amenity products. The graphic design and compact format immediately evoke the atmosphere of hotel stays in the 1980s-1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
