What is the name of the fictional soap company in Fight Club?

The fictional soap company in Fight Club is called the Paper Street Soap Company. It is operated by Tyler Durden and becomes one of the film’s sharpest symbols of consumerism turned against itself.

Tyler makes soap from discarded human fat obtained from liposuction-clinic waste. He sells the finished product as an expensive luxury item, including to department stores. The business is deliberately ironic: wealthy customers buy premium soap without realizing that its raw material came from the same beauty economy and social system the characters criticize.

The company also helps support Tyler’s larger plans. Its profits, production facilities, and members become connected to Project Mayhem, the destructive organization that grows out of the underground fight club. The Paper Street house serves as both a living space and a base for the soap operation and Project Mayhem.

A common mix-up is to call it “Fight Club Soap Company” or “Tyler’s Soap.” Those descriptions capture the premise but are not the company’s proper name. Paper Street is also a literary joke: a paper street is a fictional or unbuilt road on a map, fitting the story’s themes of invented identities and unstable reality.
