It was at the beginning of the 1930s when young boys started competing among each other to surprise tourists by diving over 100 feet high cliff carefully coordinated with the waves as they crash in.

As time passed, “La Quebrada” became an important part of Acapulco culture. Today, it’s a spectacular show of warriors jumping from the cliff offering their lives, diving with flaming torche at night and paying a tribute to the virgin of the seas.

“La Quebrada” available to buy online.

‘Little sweetheart, I really wanted to see you
You’re my favourite, you were born to be loved

A traditional song from a local town in Guerrero that was the inspiration behind the bags.

See the sky turning red,
and you’re still in bed
It’s fun in Acapulco...

Acapulco, look here comes the sun
Acapulco, it’s a day for fun!

‘The Sun’ bag is inspired by Elvis Presley’s song released in 1963 as the soundtrack of the movie “Fun in Acapulco’ exactly when the popularity among golden age celebrities was at its peak and Acapulco was known as “The Pearl of the Pacific”.
