Stanley gets Latinized as Lupe Hernandez brings Mexican papel picado to its Día de Muertos collection

• Stanley 1913 presents its second Day of the Dead collection collaborating with talented artist Lupe Hernandez.
• The thermoses and tumblers in the collection stand out for paying tribute to traditional papel picado and the culture of Mexico.
• The line includes six pieces in black, white and the iconic orange shades of the cempasúchil flower.

The Mexican touch conquering Stanley’s new collection for Día de Muertos

Fever over viral thermoses and tumblers takes a completely cultural turn when brands genuinely choose to bet on authenticity and Latino talent instead of remaining in simple superficial references. The famous brand Stanley 1913 just surprised all its followers by presenting its second collection inspired by Día de Muertos, seamlessly integrating the art of papel picado and the rich identity of Mexico’s culture. Furthermore, this new line emerges as a direct collaboration alongside Nest and highlights featuring original illustrations created by Guadalupe Hernandez, an outstanding artist of Mexican origin whose artistic trajectory revolves around the traditions of his homeland. Likewise, under the powerful phrase “Not inspired by. Created with”, the brand makes it clear that every piece in this collection renders a genuine and respectful tribute to our roots thanks to Lupe Hernandez’s talent and his absolute mastery of this beautiful artisanal technique.

Art, tradition and vibrant colors in every thermos of Stanley’s new collection

In this sense, delving into the aesthetic details giving life to this Stanley 1913 Day of the Dead launch, the collection consists of a total of six thermoses and thermal tumblers carefully designed to capture the essence of this festivity deeply rooted in our community and Mexico’s culture with papel picado. Likewise, products remain available across two striking color palettes, where one of them bets on the elegance of black and white, while the second shines using distinct orange shades instantly recalling the cempasúchil flower. Lupe Hernandez himself plasters into these pieces his deep exploration regarding work, family and cultural practices defining our heritage.
