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

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

The Flea is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The flea, a tiny but intrepid creature, is a symbol of curiosity and independence. Apollinaire, with his poetic gaze, reminds us that even the smallest creatures are full of life and energy. This tote bag, inspired by this reflection, celebrates the power of the invisible and the vitality hidden in details.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the flea with precise lines and a dynamism that conveys its rapid movement and small size. The illustration highlights the effervescent energy of this insect, despite its discretion. This bag, which combines both poetry and graphic art, becomes a tribute to the strength and agility of these small creatures.

Carry this bag to express your appreciation for the vitality hidden in every corner of the world. This tote bag is a perfect choice for those who celebrate the beauty of the small and the power of the insignificant.

Text of the poem:

Fleas, friends, even lovers,
How cruel are those who love us!
All our blood flows for them.
The beloved are unhappy.
