# LATIF WASSILI

LATIF WASSILI: This is a nice and friendly bakery that has been around since 1897. It’s one of the oldest and most famous bakeries in Egypt, located on El Gomhoria Street, El Attaba.

2)Structural design The new packaging replaces plastic and foam with biodegradable beeswax wrap — a sustainable alternative that enhances the product both functionally and emotionally.

Made from organic cotton infused with beeswax, this material is:

Beyond its functional benefits, the wrap elevates the customer experience — it looks and feels premium, encourages reuse, and reflects a brand that values quality, tradition, and responsibility.
