Calavera's Toasting Organic Cotton Liquor and Wine Bottle Tote Bag

Style# 560
Frida, Loteria & Posada
$15.00

This all-purpose, liquor and wine tote features a design of mine based on a late 1800's illustration of Manuel Manilla. The design is of a Calavera couple enjoying some tequila. I have added the quote "Salud, Amor y Pesetas y Tiempo Para Disfrutarlos" which is a traditional Spanish toast meaning "Health, love, and money and the time to enjoy them". On the reverse side I have added designs using multiple engravings and the quote "In Vino Veritas, In Cervesio Felicitas." The latin phrase which translates to “In wine there is truth, in beer there is happiness”.

This versatile multi-purpose bag is perfectly sized to transition from day to night. During the day, it comfortably holds essentials like tablets, books, and phones. By evening, it becomes the ideal companion for BYOB gatherings or as a thoughtful host gift. While the bag itself makes a stunning present, pairing it with a bottle of wine or spirits is a guaranteed way to make a lasting impression.

I have a strong affinity for these calavera sketches and prints from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s. In general, they served as social commentary—sticking up for the 'little person' and poking the elite with a satirical stick. While tequila was known as a worker's drink, the elite were often taunted for their 'European cocktails.' I like it all, but I especially love the rebellious spirit behind the works of Manuel Manilla and José Posada. Manilla is widely considered to have been a major influence on Posada.
