Details product
A playful expression of Mexican folk art, this one-of-a-kind embroidered felt dog is inspired by the calacas of Día de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Handcrafted in Chiapas, Mexico, by artisans from Tsotsil communities, the dog is richly decorated with colorful hand embroidery, giving each piece its own distinctive character.
The calaca, a beloved figure in Mexican folk culture, is traditionally associated with remembrance and celebration. Here, it takes a joyful, whimsical form—an unexpected little sculpture that brings color, texture, and personality to the home.
Each dog is entirely handmade, so no two are exactly alike. Variations in embroidery, color, and expression are part of the beauty and individuality of each piece.
A charming object to display on a shelf, console, or table, this embroidered calaca is a small celebration of craftsmanship, cultural expression, and the joy of collecting meaningful objects.
