Reusable Tote Bags – Frida Kahlo Collection

The Self Portrait on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States

Frida Kahlo depicts herself on the border between two worlds on the recycled tote bag. The pre-columbian view of Mexico, with a temple, Aztec iconography and native plants romanticize her indigenous roots; a Mexican flag in her left left. The exaggerated industrial view of the US, the Ford smokestacks emitting a cloudy American flag, machinery and smog; a cigarette in her right hand.

The Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird

Frida Kahlo uses symbolic elements to express her feelings. A purple scarf, adorned with two silver butter­flies, resem­bles a crown with the butterfly as a symbol of rebirth. Frida’s optimism shines alongside her suffering: “Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?”
