AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This French phone card, in the bank card format, features the Levi's brand through an advertisement for the 505 jeans. On the front, a black and white visual depicts a stylized portrait of a woman with pronounced makeup and an expressive pose, reinforcing the bold advertising spirit of the 90s. The inscription "Le jean qui moule les garçons." (The jeans that hug boys.) is displayed in black lettering, accompanied by the instantly recognizable red Levi's 505 logo. In the bottom left corner, a note specifies that Levi's and 505 are registered trademarks of Levi Strauss & Co. The bottom right corner clearly states "Télécarte 50," indicating the original capacity of 50 units.

The card has a smooth and slightly glossy surface, typical of French smart phone cards from this period. The golden electronic chip is clearly visible on the left side, characteristic of card-based telecommunications from the 80s-90s. The overall graphic design, the contrast of black and white with a touch of red, and the typography used, strongly evoke the advertising aesthetic of the late 20th century.

The background of the photo, a mustard yellow textile with a soft texture, highlights the card well and is not part of the item for sale. No other elements or inscriptions are visible on the displayed side.
