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

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

The Cat is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The cat is presented as an elegant and mysterious figure, both close to humans but imbued with an almost divine independence. Apollinaire makes the cat a symbol of grace and mystery, a creature that moves silently in a world of dreams and secrets. This tote bag captures this mystical aura, allowing you to carry with you a symbol of elegance and subtlety.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the cat with soft, captivating lines, conveying the animal's suppleness and natural discretion. The illustration highlights the cat's slender silhouette while evoking an intimate, muted atmosphere. The marriage of Apollinaire's poetry and Dufy's visual art is manifested here in a perfect symbiosis, transforming this bag into a subtle tribute to the cat's mysterious beauty.

Carry this bag to affirm your affinity with this animal's captivating charm. This tote bag is much more than a simple accessory: it's an ode to freedom, silent grace, and the intimate connection between man and animal. A perfect choice for lovers of poetry and felines.

Text of the poem:

I wish in my house
A woman having her reason,
A cat passing among the books,
Friends in all seasons
Which I cannot live without.
