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

The Dolphin is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The dolphin, symbol of harmony between man and the sea, embodies the grace and freedom of the ocean. Apollinaire, through his poem, invites us to meditate on the beauty of the marine world and the deep connection between living beings. This tote bag, inspired by this poetry, evokes the fluidity and elegance of this aquatic creature.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the dolphin with soft curves and organic shapes, conveying the fluidity of movement in the water. The light and airy illustration highlights the dolphin's grace and harmony. This bag, combining poetic and visual art, becomes an ode to the beauty of the sea and the freedom of its inhabitants.

Carry this bag to express your connection with nature and the sea. This tote bag is a tribute to the fluidity of life and the wisdom of sea creatures. Ideal for those who appreciate the beauty of water and the freedom of the marine world.

Text of the poem:

Dolphins, you play in the sea,
But the flow is still bitter.
Does my joy sometimes burst forth?
Life is still cruel.
