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

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

The Ox is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The ox, a symbol of strength and work, here embodies perseverance and loyalty. Apollinaire, through this poem, reminds us of the beauty of silent efforts and hard work that sustain human life. This tote bag, inspired by this poetic image, pays homage to the energy and constancy of cattle.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the ox with robust shapes and strong contours, capturing the animal's quiet power and serenity. The illustration highlights the simplicity and efficiency of cattle, symbolizing hardworking humanity. This bag, combining graphic art and poetry, becomes a tribute to the dignity of work and inner strength.

Carry this bag to celebrate quiet strength and perseverance. This tote bag is ideal for those who honor hard work, loyalty, and quiet effort. It embodies the beauty of actions that take place in the shadows, but are essential to daily life.

Text of the poem:

This cherub says praise
From paradise, where, near the angels,
We will live again, my dear friends.
When the good Lord allows it.
