Lele Cow is inspired by the iconic Mexican Lele doll from Querétaro. The design captures the doll’s signature elements—intricate braids, a colorful headband, a traditional blouse and skirt, and delicate lace details, all woven into the cow’s form with stitched accents adorning her face and legs. Lele Cow is both playful and deeply rooted in tradition, symbolizing cultural pride and artistic craftsmanship, while bringing a beloved Mexican folk icon to life in an unexpected and joyful way.
