Tote Bag – ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ Rose

The bag’s fabric print is based on Anda’s painting, created in the Rundāle Palace garden.

There’s a legendary story about this rose, connected to the life of the brilliant artist.

“In ancient times, when art and nature still spoke the same language, lived a great master – Leonardo da Vinci. He not only painted and built flying machines but also listened to the whispers of flowers. Legend has it that one spring morning, he saw a bud in the garden that had not yet opened.

“Every flower is like an unfinished invention,” he said. “It holds a perfect balance.”

The master observed the bud for a long time — its soft, tightly closed petals resembled a spiral, much like the mysterious geometry of nature he so admired. He sketched the rose in his notebook, noting how light glided across the petals and how the color changed from soft pink to a deeper, regal hue.

When the bud finally opened, it was so perfect that even the wind paused for a moment. People said this rose carried the master’s soul — creativity, harmony, and the ability to combine strength with tenderness.

Centuries later, gardeners, inspired by this legend, created a rose and named it after him — “Leonardo da Vinci.” Its lush, full blooms symbolize not only beauty but also perseverance, as it flowers long and richly, much like ideas that never fade.”
