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

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

The Hare is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The hare, through its speed and agility, symbolizes liveliness of mind and flight from the dangers of the world. In this poem, Apollinaire invites us to reflect on the fragility of existence, and the way in which man, like the hare, must learn to escape the threats that surround him. This tote bag thus becomes a symbol of lightness and reflection on the precariousness of life.

Raoul Dufy depicts the hare with swift, dynamic strokes, capturing the speed and energy of this animal in motion. The simple yet expressive illustration highlights the fleeting nature of the moment and the urgency of movement. This bag perfectly combines Apollinaire's poetry with Dufy's graphic design, offering a work you can take with you everywhere.

Carry this bag to celebrate freedom and the ability to escape the constraints of modern life. This tote bag is an ideal choice for lively and agile minds, those who appreciate the poetry of escape and the beauty of a fleeting moment.

Text of the poem:

Don't be lascivious and fearful
Like the hare and the lover.
But let your brain always be
The full doe who conceives.
