BOLSAS CARLOTA

Henry Herbert Crabtree was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1860, and came to Mexico as an Engineer in charge of building the docks for the port of Veracruz. In Mexico, Henry also found true love with his beloved wife, Carlota. Carlota Crabtree was a strong and generous woman who showed her talent as one of the most acknowledged Mexican painters of her time. She loved Mexico deeply, and captured it in her oil paintings which are now respectful and lovingly displayed in the regional museums of the Comarca Lagunera, located in the north of Mexico. The handbag that you have acquired is part of a limited edition, handmade by local artisans of the state of Jalisco, and decorated with traditional Mexican folkloric motifs. Through this piece of fine craftsmanship, the Crabtree family acknowledges and honors Grandmother Carlota for instilling in her descendants the love for their homeland, exalting it through art and beauty. We hope you enjoy this piece that symbolizes the wonders of Mexico!
