Selimiye Arasta, Eski Cami Bedesteni, Saraçlar Caddesi Ali Paşa Bazaar are filled with dozens of small shops that cater to every taste and budget. You can find everything from food to clothing, and traditional handicrafts to souvenirs here. Among the most popular products sold on the overflowing stalls of these shops are the sweet-smelling fruit soaps that color the markets in all the colors of the rainbow, known as Edirne's traditional handicrafts. The production date of these soaps, known to have come from Edirne, dates back to the 1600s. These fruit soaps, which are made by mixing musk, amber, and rose essence to bring them to the real fruit size and color, have been a valuable gift presented to the Ottoman palace, sultans, and local and foreign dignitaries. They quickly became an important profession in Edirne and started to be called "palace soap" due to the priority given to orders from the palace and "sultan soap" due to the hygiene and gift-giving meticulousness of the sultans.

With the increasing demand, fruit soaps became one of the most popular professions in Edirne in the early 19th century. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, with more than forty shops selling fruit soap in the Bedesten and Arasta bazaars and a whole neighborhood called "Sabuni," fruit soap making became one of the most important sources of income and a symbol of the city's cultural heritage.
