About Om Kalthoum Record Sleeve
Om Kalthoum Record Sleeve revives the Sono Cairo gatefold LP covers that carried the voice of Umm Kulthum (1904–1975) across the Arab world. Deep regal aubergine cardboard, struck gold display Arabic, and rosette medallion borders frame the diva in her signature cat-eye sunglasses. It is warm, ornate, and unmistakably radio-era — opulence pressed into cardboard.
