La Corvette – Savonnerie du Midi

Celebrating the true Savon de Marseille

La Corvette is the name of the three-masted boat, which, in the 19th century, was used to supply the soap factories of the Mediterranean city with raw materials. From 1894, the date of its creation, this Marseillais company has produced soap using traditional methods, following the rules set down by Colbert’s decree – he was King Louis 14th’s minister of finance – issued in 1688. It specifies that true « Savon de Marseille » is obtained by heating in a cauldron. Besides soaps, La Corvette – Savonnerie du Midi offer body care products (creams, lotions, shampoos, etc.) and household products. The little extra: they are ecological and certified! A figure of Provencal crafts, the company, set up in the quartier of Les Aygalades, in the northern part of the Mediterranean city, is proud of its solid local grounding. As an approved « Entreprise du patrimoine vivant », it has 45 employees and produces 8 million soaps per year. In the words of Guillaume Fiévet, at the head of the soap factory:« La Corvette embodies a rare Mediterranean tradition, preserved by real enthusiasts».
