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

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

The Mouse is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The mouse, a small, shy and discreet animal, symbolizes vulnerability and humility in this poem. Apollinaire, by presenting us with this creature, reminds us of the beauty in simplicity and discretion. This tote bag, inspired by this poem, invites us to celebrate the little things in life, often ignored but just as important.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the mouse with simple, delicate lines, highlighting its small size and fragile appearance. The illustration, subtle and full of softness, offers a poetic vision of the animal while capturing its discreet character. This tote bag is a tribute to the beauty hidden in nature's most modest details.

Carry this bag to celebrate the simplicity and delicacy of life. It's a perfect accessory for those who appreciate the poetry of small things and the beauty of humility. The tote bag thus becomes a reflection of your connection with nature and your sensitivity to life's subtle details.

Text of the poem:

Beautiful days, mouse of time,
You are slowly eating away at my life.
God! I'm going to be twenty-eight,
And badly experienced, in my opinion.
