  • The charro is a Catrin. Note the beautiful face and all the lovely details.
  • What does El Catrin symbolize? "Catrina/Catrin" has come to symbolize not only El Día de los Muertos and the Mexican willingness to laugh at death itself, but originally catrina was an elegant or well-dressed woman, so it refers to rich people.

  • The Lupita is painted by Mexican artisans, each detail is hand painted and each doll is initialed or signed by the artisan.
  • Lupita/o is a typical name in Mexico, thus the name Lupita was given to each figurine.
  • Najaco dolls are created in Tonalá, Jalisco.  In 1992, the family was looking for a way to depict Mexican people doing daily chores (especially women) while in their typical outfits.
  • This folk art is full of colored detail. Each doll is molded, afterward each figurine is hand painted by artisans.

  • Please note: these figurines are individually hand painted and will have slight variations one to another.
