Background:
📍 Originating from the heart of Capula—a renowned hub for Catrina craftsmanship, this doll embodies the hues, warmth, and cultural richness of the region. The artistry of Don Juan Torres, a legendary international figure, elevated the Catrinas of Capula to global recognition. His groundbreaking designs laid the foundation for a legacy that’s celebrated across Mexico today.

Presently, numerous family-centric workshops in Capula passionately create these figurines. Each artisan adds their signature touch, ensuring every Catrina is unique. The resurgence of this art form can be traced back to the 1970s when Juan Torres breathed life into Posada’s character in clay—a vision later immortalized by Diego Rivera.

❤️ Welcoming this Catrina into your space means embracing a rich tapestry of Mexican heritage. Every figurine tells tales of tradition, artistry, and the relentless spirit of its makers. It’s more than just a decorative piece—it’s a heartfelt narrative of Mexico’s cultural tapestry.
