Background:
📍 Rooted in the tradition of Capula, a hub synonymous with Catrina craftsmanship, these dolls draw inspiration from the local ambiance, colors, and ethos. The legacy began with Don Juan Torres, a renowned international artist who put Capula on the world map with his pioneering Catrina figures. His ingenuity propelled Catrina’s fame not only in Capula but across Mexico.
Now, countless family-owned workshops in Capula lovingly handcraft these dolls, each infusing their unique touch, ensuring no two Catrinas are alike. This widespread admiration for Catrina craftsmanship traces back to the 1970s when Juan Torres revived Posada’s character in clay—a rendition later popularized by Diego Rivera.
