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

The Dromedary is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The dromedary, this desert traveler, becomes the symbol of endurance and resilience in the face of extreme living conditions. Apollinaire invites us to reflect on inner strength and the ability to overcome challenges. This tote bag, inspired by this image, reflects stoicism and perseverance, in a world where obstacles are numerous.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the dromedary with geometric shapes and simplified lines, conveying the robustness of this animal as it roams the vast desert expanses. The illustration, refined yet powerful, accentuates the majesty of this indomitable creature. This bag, combining poetry and graphic art, offers a visual and literary tribute to the endurance and power of nature.

Wear this bag as an emblem of resilience and perseverance. It's an ideal accessory for those who embrace life's challenges with calm and determination. The tote bag thus becomes a powerful symbol of the inner strength that drives us to move forward despite obstacles.

Text of the poem:

With his four dromedaries
Don Pedro d'Alfaroubeira
Traveled the world and admired it.
He did what I wanted to do
If I had four dromedaries.
