"Ibis" tote bag, a tote bag paying homage to Guillaume Apollinaire’s Bestiary, illustrated by Raoul Dufy

This "Ibis" Tote bag is taken from Apollinaire’s Bestiary, illustrated by Raoul Dufy

The Ibis is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The ibis, a sacred creature in ancient Egypt, symbolizes beauty and quiet strength. Apollinaire, through his poem, invites us to reflect on the connection between man and nature, and the idea of spirituality that permeates all living beings. This tote bag, inspired by this poetic vision, becomes a reflection on the beauty and immemorial wisdom of sacred creatures.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the ibis with elegant lines, capturing the nobility of this bird and its majestic posture. The illustration evokes the serenity and grandeur of the ibis, while recalling its symbolic importance in history and culture. This bag, combining graphic art and poetry, becomes a tribute to the dignity and spirituality of sacred creatures.

Carry this bag to celebrate sacred beauty and ancient wisdom. This tote bag is perfect for those who value connection with history, culture, and the natural world. An accessory that becomes a symbol of grandeur and respect for tradition.

Text of the poem:

Yes, I will go into the earthy shadow
O certain death, so be it!
Deadly Latin, awful word,
Ibis, bird of the banks of the Nile.
