There are so many reasons to love iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. First, there’s her amazing art, which emanated from her heart and soul. Frida herself was a strong, vulnerable, loving, and wise woman who wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo and resist oppressive standards often pushed on women. Lastly, the Mexicana of Indigenous descent was proud of her Latina roots. When we see her, we see ourselves. Her success, talent, and rebellious spirit inspire us to achieve greatness. It’s no wonder we instantly want to snatch up pretty much all things with Frida’s image and style on it. As a result, we went ahead and curated a shoppable collection of 15 fabulous Frida Kahlo products — enjoy!

We’ve seen quite a few Frida Kahlo mugs in our day. They’re all great but often look way too similar to each other. This enamel mug, by HandcraftsMexDesign on Etsy, instantly stood out.

The rest of the mug is filled with her most famous quotes. Her words have proven inspirational to so many people because of their beauty and truth. Seeing and reading them every morning will no doubt serve as inspiration and perspective to whoever owns this mug!

This beautiful tote by Luxx Divine features Frida Kahlo’s face. It’s so rich and colorful, it’s bound to turn heads. It’s a bag that’s both functional and totally cute.

Frida Kahlo Cookie by Rocio Cuenca
We aren’t sure if this cookie is even available for sale, but it was too incredible not to include in this roundup of Frida Kahlo items we love. Just look at it — it’s perfection! The 3D sweet treat was created by Spanish baker Rocio Cuenca. There’s so much detail in this cookie, from the perfectly-crafted red roses to the volume in the braids and the banner that reads: “Viva La Vida.” The colors are rich with everything so perfectly crafted, it hardly looks like a dessert item. We’d have no problem ordering these amazing cookies, but getting ourselves to actually eat them would be challenging. Breaking apart this artistic-looking cookie would feel criminal!

Frida Kahlo Sweatshirt by ONME
It seems as if there’s an endless array of Frida Kahlo sweatshirts online. But the best ones will always make us want to buy them, no matter how many we’ve seen already or might already own. The funny thing with Frida Kahlo merch is a lot of them tend to look pretty much the same. It’s always your usual Frida image on a blank top. But this particular sweatshirt by ONWE stands out from the usual bunch with its fresh take. It features a Frida Kahlo painting, but instead of having it within the generic box in the center of a blank shirt (which can sometimes look awesome but so typical), it lets the art roam free. You have to appreciate that.

The artwork is set on an easel, and nearby you can see an artist’s palette and a book. It’s like you have a whole little world — a whole scene of what Frida’s life was like — within that dome. This is the kind of Frida Kahlo necklace you want to get to set yourself apart from the sea of other similar versions.

Remember how we said that we like to see fresh, cool, and new iterations of Frida Kahlo apparel? Well, this shirt by Retrocrix delivers exactly what we were talking about. It features Kahlo in an old-school tattoo art style. The detail is amazing and the colors are so rich and crisp. It also shows Frida in a more realistic way. We like when people put their own, unique spin on the artist, but some change her up so much, the only features you recognize are her braids and signature unibrow.

Frida Kahlo Pin by The Found
Pins are everywhere. There is a little enamel pin for everything you can think of. That includes those dedicated to legends like Frida Kahlo. We have seen several great options but chose this one by The Found to include in our roundup of Frida Kahlo items to buy. You see, it features Frida, but adds layers to the typical Frida pin. She is wearing a Rosie the Riveter outfit, which shouts out the women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II. Then, there is the quote, “Si Se Puede,” made famous by Chicana Dolores Huerta when fighting for farm workers’ rights. It’s a perfect feminist trifecta

Frida Kahlo loved to wear makeup, which included boldly-colored lipstick and nail polish. It seems fitting then, that cosmetics have been made, which are inspired by the iconic artist.

The colors are bright, the packaging has artwork featuring Kahlo’s face and own art, and the vibe is super cool. The products all have names that have to do with Kahlo, most of which are in Spanish. We don’t know much about the ingredients, but can’t wait to check these fun beauty products in person. Did we mention you can also find them at your local CVS?
