Celebrate Day of the Dead with artist Lourdes Villagómez

We partnered with Mexico City-based artist Lourdes Villagómez to create the collectible Sugar Skull Skillet, Butterfly Sugar Skull Skillet, and Xolo Dog Griddle in honor of Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos. "What I really want to communicate is the roots of my country," she says. Learn more about Lourdes and the traditions that inspire her from across Mexico and the world.

What Day of the Dead means to Lourdes Villagómez 

Lourdes is the artist behind our Day of the Dead collection, and her goal is to honor this celebration and bring its traditions to people everywhere. Learn more about her work, the designs, and the holiday that inspired it.

“Mexico is a country full of tradition and roots and it’s worth it to know about these stories,” Lourdes says. “Before Mexico was Mexico, Day of the Dead was celebrated in different areas and parts of Central and South America, and each group celebrated in different ways. Every kind of culture had a specific kind of celebration, and it’s really interesting to know about, to learn about this history.”

"The imagery of butterflies serves as a reminder of the transient nature of life and the eternal cycle of renewal. Through art, I can capture the essence of this profound symbolism, conveying themes of transformation, remembrance, and the enduring spirit of those who have passed."
