Description:
This pack of Stewardess cigarettes features a distinctive retro design – a minimalist combination of blue and cream, a geometric logo resembling an airplane tail, and a bilingual inscription (in English and Russian – „Stewardess“ and „Стюардесса“) indicate an orientation towards an international image. The pack clearly reflects the production aesthetics of the Soviet period, when tobacco products were often packaged economically, but still trying to convey a certain prestige or sophistication. This pack is intact, but shows signs of aging – the film is intact, but deformed, the corners with clear pressure marks.
