Mexican Protest Sugar Skull | Indigenous Zapotec Large Tote Bag

Carry the power of resistance with the “Resistance Has Roots” design on your tote bag—where revolution meets ritual in every detail. Inspired by Zapotec ofrendas and Dia de los Muertos, this design honours those who remember with purpose and fight for justice. It's a bold, anti-colonial tribute woven into every line. In southern Mexico, altars have become sacred acts of rebellion—built with marigolds, candles, and memories to honour fallen land defenders and Indigenous warriors. This artwork blends tradition with resistance, featuring Mixtec textiles, masked sugar skulls, and spirits rising in smoke. Behind the flowers and flames lies a legacy etched in cracked maize, hidden machetes, and carved clay fists. The silhouettes of mountains and glyphs whisper the truths that colonialism tried to bury. At the heart of it all, a distressed banner reads Resistance Has Roots, stitched with the strength of generations. This tote bag isn’t just an accessory—it’s a declaration. Let your everyday items speak volumes about honouring ancestral memory and cultural pride. ✊ Next time you see an altar, ask yourself: Who’s being remembered—and what were they fighting for?
