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

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

The Sirens are taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. Sirens, mythological creatures with a captivating song, symbolize here the idea of attraction and danger. Apollinaire, with his poem, plunges us into a world of reverie and mystery, where beauty can also be destructive. This tote bag, inspired by this image, evokes the duality between attraction and threat, between beauty and fatal seduction.

Raoul Dufy illustrates mermaids with fluid and sensual lines, capturing their captivating grace. The illustration evokes the beauty and danger that lie within the seduction of mermaids, while conveying a dreamlike and mythological atmosphere. This bag, combining art and poetry, becomes a tribute to the paradoxical beauty of sea creatures.

Carry this bag to celebrate the complex beauty and intensity of myths. This tote bag is perfect for those who appreciate the depth of mythological stories and the richness of sea symbols. An accessory that embodies both beauty and fragility.

Text of the poem:

Do I know where your boredom comes from, Sirens?
When you lament, far away, in the night?
Sea, I'm like you, full of machined voices
And my singing vessels are called the years.
