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

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

The Octopus is taken from the collection Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d'Orphée , written by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1911. The octopus, a mysterious creature of the ocean depths, symbolizes intelligence, flexibility, and adaptability. Apollinaire shows us, through this poem, that even in the darkest environments, beauty and wisdom can emerge. This tote bag, inspired by this image, becomes a tribute to the richness and complexity of underwater life.

Raoul Dufy illustrates the octopus with intertwined shapes, capturing its fluidity and almost supernatural appearance. The octopus's tentacles appear to unfurl, illustrating the flexibility and multiplicity of this fascinating animal. This bag, both graphic and poetic, reminds us of the importance of adaptability and ingenuity in nature.

Carry this bag to celebrate the power of adaptation and the wisdom that emerges from the depths. This tote bag is perfect for those who appreciate the complexity and beauty of sea creatures, as well as the mysteries of the ocean.

Text of the poem:

Throwing his ink towards the heavens,
Sucking the blood of what he loves
And finding it delicious,
This inhuman monster is myself.
