The R.C. Gorman Chinle Ruby Throated Hummingbird tote bag carries one of the artist’s gentlest scenes into everyday errands. The printed art panel shows a woman in profile wearing a red long-sleeved top and a cream shawl, her green beaded necklace glinting as she extends her hand toward a hummingbird pausing mid-air. The design’s warm tones stand out against the bag’s natural burlap body and rope handles.
Roomy enough for market runs, library visits, and everyday carry, the tote pairs practicality with Southwestern art in a way that suits gift shops and collectors alike. As merchandise, it reproduces Gorman’s imagery on a functional accessory rather than serving as an original artwork.
It makes an easy gift for bird lovers, fans of Southwestern art, and anyone who carries their fandom on their shoulder.
