Frida Kahlo
Frida Kahlo Collection – Mexican folk art home accessories inspired by an icon
Few people have made as great an impression on the world of art and culture as Frida Kahlo. The Mexican painter lived from 1907 to 1954, yet her work feels more relevant than ever. She painted herself again and again. With flower crowns in her hair, in traditional Tehuana dresses, surrounded by the colourful folklore of her country. She was headstrong, fearless and impossible to ignore.
The Kitsch Kitchen Frida Kahlo collection is inspired by her life, her work and the Mexican folklore that shaped her so deeply. Vases, candle holders, bags and candles. Every product carries a little of her spirit.

Frida as inspiration: colour, strength and Mexican folklore
Frida Kahlo never painted landscapes or still lifes. She painted herself, always. And with that, her world. The flower crowns, the traditional dress, the animals and plants around her: these are the images that make her work so direct and so personal.
That visual language fits seamlessly with Kitsch Kitchen, a brand that has drawn on the same Mexican folk tradition for thirty years. The Frida Kahlo collection is a tribute: an interpretation of her style, her strength and the Mexican folk culture that nourished her.
Frida Kahlo vase: a portrait that stands out
The Frida Kahlo vase is the most direct product in the collection. Frida's portrait – her distinctive features, the heavy eyebrows, the jewellery – is worked into a ceramic vase that stands out even without flowers. In the shop window, on a display table or as a standalone object on a shelf: this is a vase that draws attention.
Also see the other flower pots and vases for more ceramic home accessories.
Marisol: Frida's alter ego
Alongside the Frida Kahlo vase, the collection includes a range of Marisol products. A figure directly inspired by Frida's aesthetic.
The Marisol vase comes in two versions, colourful and black-and-white. Both are large in size and sculptural in character. The Marisol storage jar b/w is more compact but just as recognisable, and practical for storage. The Marisol candle holder brings the portrait to candlelight as well.
Frida bag and candle: on the go and at the table
The Folclorico Frida bag combines the Frida inspiration with the handcrafted Folclorico Collection by Kitsch Kitchen. A bag made of woven material with Frida's portrait as its central motif. Also see the other bags by Kitsch Kitchen.
The Papel Picardo Frida candle in glass is the most accessible product in the collection. A candle in a glass featuring Frida's likeness, made in the Mexican papel picado technique of perforated paper. Small in size, big in impact.
Frida Kahlo in your shop
The Frida Kahlo collection appeals to customers who love Mexican art, strong women, special home accessories or the aesthetic that made Frida Kahlo world famous. That makes it a good fit for gift shops, museum shops, concept stores and interior stores. Combine the vases and the candle with products from the Lotería or Folclorico Collection for a complete Mexican display.
