Frequently asked questions
What are "calacas chidas" in Mexican culture?
"Calaca" is a colloquial Mexican word for skeleton or skull, associated with the Day of the Dead (November 1-2). "Calacas chidas" are artistic and festive representations, not terrifying ones: they appear dancing, playing music, elegantly dressed (like Posada's La Catrina). They represent that death is a part of life and is celebrated with joy and memory of loved ones.
Who created La Catrina, and why is she iconic?
La Catrina (originally Calavera Garbancera) was created by Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) as social criticism of Mexicans who denied their Indigenous heritage. Diego Rivera popularized her with his mural Dream of a Sunday Afternoon (1947), where she appears as a symbol of the Day of the Dead. Today, she is a global cultural icon.
Can I wear the skull T-shirts for Halloween?
Yes, they are perfect for Halloween, Day of the Dead (November 1-2), Coco-themed parties, Mexican festivals, and as everyday wear. The designs are aesthetic and festive, not scary. Many families wear them for Day of the Dead altar celebrations as a cultural tribute.
What are the best-selling skull designs?
Top: 1) Posada's Catrina with a hat, 2) Skeleton with mariachi-style guitar, 3) Skulls decorated with cempasúchil flowers, 4) Skeletons dancing in a papel picado style, and 5) Skeletons with Mexican slang phrases like "Tilica y flaca." Also, pieces related to Pixar's movie Coco.
What colors are available in the skull collection?
Black predominates as the base color with white and multicolored prints (pink, cempasúchil orange, purple, blue). There are also white versions with black calaveras. The colors follow the traditional Day of the Dead palette: orange, fuchsia pink, purple, and gold.
Are there special discounts before November 2nd?
Yes, LOSMIOS launches special promotions in October leading up to Day of the Dead (November 1-2), with guaranteed delivery before Halloween weekend if you order at least 3 weeks in advance. Subscribe to the newsletter for discount alerts.
